That sounds very grounded to me.
Yeah, I'm familiar with his origin, hence my mention of a "pre-powers version", but again, why would they even bother? It's grounded, but certainly not the Clayface audiences would be salivating to see.

You can't get away with that much of a roster. I'm totally fine with two villains, but I believe nobody wants a 5 hour movie.
