Clayface (Period of time between Batman Arkham Origins and Asylum)

First Appearance: Batman Arkham Asylum

Karlo took up the mantle (de-powered) while killing members of the remakes cast and crew, however was stopped from killing Batman's fiancee, Julie Madison by Batman and Robin.

He attempted to kill her again, but that failed again. 

A couple of years later he teamed up with villains to form a group called "The Mudpack", who he betrayed after a defeat and stole DNA samples from each member, synthesising into a formula, which he injected into himself and gained the abilities of the team, including shape-shifting and size alteration.

He was eventually captured in Arkham Asylum, where they locked him away in the Penitentiary section of the facility, behind a cell of glass. He was deemed insane and hence was given a doctor to psychoanalyse him for possible rehabilitation.

Dr. Young's Personal Notes on Patient: (Most likely to be his doctor or was asked by either Warden Sharp or another doctor to make them)

"Clayface

Real Name: Basil Karlo

Dr. Penelope Young

While his bizarre ability to shape-change opens him up to the obvious-if controversial-diagnosis of multiple personality disorder, Karlo seems instead to be suffering from borderline personality disorder, with a special emphasis on identity disturbance. He is difficult to pin down on any subject, and defends his wild changes in affect as evidence of his dramatic abilities, which he considers to be wildly underrated. Rarely does he take his own shape, but frequently mimics me when I attempt to interview him.

Additional notes
His identity is at risk of splintering, due to the growing frequency of his adopting the identities of others to the exclusion of taking on his own.
I find his imitation of me to be especially unflattering; I am most certainly not the bitter, calculating academic he attempts to portray me as.

STRONG ESCAPE RISK!"
