Clayface

Clayface is the identity used by a number of shapeshifting supervillains who have battled the Batman. He is notable for being a classic villain who is metahuman rather that a deranged 'normal' human being like most in the Batman's rogues gallery.

The original Clayface, Basil Karlo, appeared in Detective Comics #40. He was an actor who was driven mad when he heard of a remake of the classic horror film he had starred in. Donning the mask of the film's villain, the Clayface, he embarked on a murder spree among the cast and crew of the remake. He was foiled by Batman and Robin, and incarcerated in Arkham Asylum.
