Mysterio was very well realized in live action. Will Clayface ever get a big budget silver screen treatment? Considering how Hollywood likes to keep making Batman and his rogues darker and more grounded, I'm not holding my breath. It would be cool to see though.
Batman and Spider-Man have a bit of history on STF: The Lost Issues...
They joined the Wacky Races in STF #3755...
The Spider-Buggy went up against the Bat-Bus in STF #3624...
Batman got his first look at the Spider-Buggy in STF #1628...
The Batman/Spidey movie premiered in STF #1014
Spidey and JJJ joined forces against Batman in STF #937...
They were joined by some Amazing Friends in back in October 2011...
The shared a Golden Age adventure in September 2011...
Spidey wore his black outfit for their July 2010 meeting...
And here is where they first crossed paths.

Oh, my - is that early Batman wearing a sidearm? Yowser!
That's just shark repellant.
The Bat and the Spider...to the crime set, the storm that pops up anywhere at anytime.
This story could have created a team that could have overtaken the popularity of every other hero. These two would have made such a difference.
the spider-man from the cover of strange tales annual, without the spider symbol,
there are copies with the symbol but very rare ! ( and maybe fakes )
Hmmm! I have to wonder if these two reverted to their earliest costumes due to having been framed by Clayface and Mysterio taking the semblance of the former in their current costumes. If so, what was the object of the impersonation? The theft of the Bat-bus Crime Lab? If so, what was the motive? Infiltrating a Wacky Race past Fort Knox?
"Tune in tomorrow for the answers to these weird questions. Same Ross-time! Same Ross-station!"
You never know when you need it. Be it a Beach-side Brawl or a Loan Shark Scuffle.
I was disappointed that so many of Batman's rogues were featured in Gotham, but not Clayface. (Not as much as I was that Two-Face sort of fell by the wayside.)
That's probably because Fox couldn't find anyone as good as Aaron Eckhart or Tommy Lee Jones.
On a sadder note: Dame Angela Lansbury passed away yesterday, just five days shy of her 97th birthday. The first time I ever heard of her was in "Bedknobs and Broomsticks" (the Gold Key adaptation of which was the first non-DC comic book I ever bought).
Dear Ross: any chance of a May Parker/Mary Worth team-up?
Anything is possible, but I must say that's my first Mary Worth request!
Well, I came across an Internet article, from about ten years back, concerning a sort-of crossover that had occurred between Mary Worth's comic strip and that of Lee Falk's Phantom! So, it got me to thinking: what if there were a similar comic strip crossover between Mary Worth and Spidey? With Aunt May meeting the former at something like a national bridge tournament.
Reg Aubrey.... The only time the golden age Batman used a side arm was in Detective Comics #32 where he fought the Monk and killed the vampire with a silver bullet. As far as carrying a side arm like on the Detective Comics #33 cover (from which the Batman is taken is from), a lot of golden age non powered super-heroes carried one.
@Paul: you forgot the Batplane-mounted machine guns he was forced to use when Gotham City was in danger of being over-run by Golden Age Prof. Strange's monster men.
What I'm wondering is, why does Clayface look like Bigfoot?

"What I'm wondering is, why does Clayface look like Bigfoot?"
Because he's comfortable like that, perhaps?
Hr'rmm, what if all 'Bigfoot' sightins were actually Clayface sightings?
I predict that Clayface has taken on the shape of Mysterio and that Mysterio has projected the illusion that he's Clayface.
A story that could just as easily have been called... "Trading Faces."
;-)
