* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Somewhat jarringly, and it's this episode's one weak point. As noted, Alfred is blithely indifferent to Clayface's plight, making dry jokes about it when even Batman pities him. But Batman only wants to save Clayface on ''his own'' terms, as he pulls the plug on a machine that would have stabilized Clayface's deteriorating form, seemingly for no other reason than because Clayface stole the isotope to make it work. Given Batman's offer to help Clayface earlier in the episode, you'd think he would have been more charitable.
** On the other hand, it is somewhat justified. While it is mentioned that the treatment will increase Clayface's powers a significant degree and allow him to shapeshift into Matt Hagen permanently, there is also no indication that Clayface cannot still use his enhanced powers to otherwise cause crimes as he had already shown himself willing to do on multiple occasions. While it is unnerving to see Batman unwilling to let Clayface treat himself while he's falling apart, he did give him an option for a more legal avenue earlier and allowing one of his metahuman villains to become stronger wouldn't be good for anyone.

--> The ending is equally chilling and Clayface literally slips through Batman's fingers to fall to the water below and slowly gets dissolved in the waves. It's something that story editor Michael Reaves thought they wouldn't be able get away with. "Since Warner Brothers was paying for the series, Fox could give suggestions, but we didn't have to take them," he said. "The only people we had to listen to was Broadcast Standards and Practices and their only flat-out taboo was that we couldn't kill anybody, and we even got around that a couple of times. In this episode Clayface went off that cliff and melted. He's dead."
