Highly unlikely. Since she was a conscious and now sentient part of Clayface. I think the basis of this episode was to give Tim Drake the feeling of loss everyone in the bat family has encountered and endured.

Man... Those episodes are special. I'm so grateful the creators put in real emotion and weight to the little stories... The story of clay face also is so tragic... He just wanted to be an actor, casted in a horror movie and got mad when he just got replaced without even asked... The drawings are really good but the freaking writers and voice actors gave it so much life. It's unreal how much they deserve for this

Clayface, not clownface - Clownface is the Joker. That doesn't mean that he doesn't deserve to die as well, it's just that they are different people.

@@alarkhar Sorry for the confusion. I personally call Matt “Clownface” because that’s what I thought his name was and still continue to call him that to this day even though it doesn’t really fit. There’s also a Dark Horse comic character Clownface from Body Bags, it’s pretty good.
