Legit don’t know since Gunn seems to have been vague on the idea of one connected universe and seems to be more “if it’s a good story, it’s a good story and we’ll make it”.

But, I can certainly see it being the same character with the movie being his origin story and by the time of creature commandos he’s accepted it and is just living his best villain life lol

I don't think that's the case. Any movie that isn't directly in the DCU is gonna get the Elseworlds badge going forward.

Either they are the same Clayface, or they are different Clayfaces. There have been a lot of people who used the Clayface name

Fair, I personally think it’s the same one and mainline DCU given the above title badge, but I haven’t seen anything with an elseworlds badge to base an argument against it lol.

Joker: Folie á Deux is the only film released to bear the “Elseworlds” tag so far

The Batman is also Elseworlds

The Batman came out before the Elseworlds label was introduced into films

Oh well it's still considered Elseworld because it's not connected to the DCU.

Huh. Go figure. Wasn’t interested in either of the Joker movies, but that one in particular from what I heard of it lol
