Matt Hagen's meteoric rise from Gotham street kid to celebrated Hollywood leading man is brought to a violent halt when a local crime boss's actions leave him horrifically disfigured. Abandoned by his own team and with nothing left to lose, Matt seeks out an experimental, cutting-edge treatment that miraculously restores his former appearance, but the cure carries a terrible cost, gradually eroding his grip on reality and his own sense of self. As Matt's body and mind begin to fracture, he spirals down a destructive path of shapeshifting, all-consuming revenge, becoming DC Studios' first outright horror villain origin story.
Review:
A gleefully committed body-horror riff on the classic Batman villain, its practical creature effects and unhinged tonal swings marking a genuinely distinctive entry in the wider DC Universe.
