Now season 2 premiered just two days ago, and in episode 2… we already have a masked woman!

Some sort of masked RocketWOman?
Mask damage!
Does she try to unmask Batman???

Ok, her suit and mask are a bit…. clunky, but the overall look is kind of cool, and the mask works well in disguising her.
I love that her mask gets damaged like that and thereby Batman finds out who she is.
A rather rare treat that her secret identity gets revealed by an actual unmasking… and not a self-unmasking.
Also great that he unmasks her once she is pinned down.
Does she try to unmask him in that mini scene (picture 3)? Perhaps it’s just her hand on his face during a struggle… but it could be… after all Batman found out who she it.
Maybe she wants to return the favor? At least in my imagination 😉
Her “phantom of the opera” part of the face does get revealed earlier… between these 2 scenes, but I wanted you to discover that by the unmasking 😉
Yeah, that half of the face isn’t exactly attractive… but in the story it fits her tragic story where she already was a brilliant scientist and then former colleagues wanted to get rid of her.
The whole show is quite a bit darker and more violent than the old animated TV show.
Looking forward to the other episodes of season 2, need to see them in the next few days.
This one was ….as well…. recommended to me several times over the years, and it’s time to make a post about it!
The last 2 Sundays, I posted about a woman in sci-fi armor; now we go one step further.
Three years after RoboCop, this movie came out…. some sort of (cheap) female version.

She is ready…
…for some action!
Who is under that mask?

I made a cut during the “getting into costume” scene to hide her face so she wouldn’t be revealed to you early 😉
Yeah, it’s a cheap rip-off, but the costume is pretty cool.
And she takes her safety pretty seriously. I like that she actually uses that shield over her lower face here and there.
Would make sense if she used it all the time in action… but the producers wanna show some sexy lips 😉 … and I guess it’s hard to breathe with that thing down.
She only gets into the suit in the middle of the movie, and sadly, no real secret identity issues arise.
I do like that they didn’t overdo it and put female plastic breasts on her armor to make her look more “feminine” 😆
I had to cut down some scenes… so the video wouldn’t be too long.
Well, quite a lot of interesting scenes in this …cheap… action flick!
I haven’t seen the whole movie…yet… but I certainly will do to fully understand what is going on.
Her first outfit is weird.. but very interesting.
From what I understand so far, this woman isn’t with the good guys (at first) but also isn’t a villainess.
I don’t know why she is masked in the first place. Seemingly, it’s more to actually protect herself instead of protecting her identity… but I will know more soon.
At first, you can’t basically know that it is a woman under the mask.
She is running around with that weird rain poncho(?!?), at first so she is a random masked figure at first.
The scene with the rocket launcher is quite funny… oh boy! No budget and the physics…are troublesome 😉
Then, with the rain poncho gone (why was her character wearing that? :lol:), the audience can now see more of her, so the figure looks rather like a woman than a guy.
I LOVE that the guy tries to unmask her, even though the scene is verrrry short….but with some “mask talk” as I like to call it.
Such attempted unmaskings are quite rare… sadly.
But she defends her secret identity, and the fight goes on.
And the fight is quite solid, especially for such a movie.
Hilarious how all those folks manage to miss both of them completely with these guns… at this range. Damn!
The self-unmasking is …lame! Very quick… and not dramatic. No buildup to that.
But we do get to see her in another mask! That is verrrrry rare!
I like how she uses the mask to fool the guy and escape.
Ok, the mask wouldn’t work (no seal) in combination with the balaclava… a common mistake… but it does look great for sure!
The guy should realize that immediately.
Also, he should wonder why the clothes are so awfully baggy for her… but ok, it’s better not to think too much about such movies 😉
That epic mask combo would be so awesome for a dramatic 2-part unmasking struggle…. but no luck.
But at least we get a nice self-unmasking on screen.
All in all, this crappy movie offers quite a lot with kick-ass women, will edit this post after I have seen the whole thing.
A longer video without that typical insane Russian overdub, a proper text, and finally some title info!
In this one, we have a masked female thief who gets caught…. 🙂

Not often do you see a masked woman fight, especially not with another woman! A nice treat for starters 🙂
Well, I only know the thief from this scene… but she isn’t wearing gloves on her heist? Not the smartest move 😆
Also, her getaway car is that fancy red sports car? Hmh, also seems like a rather bad move…
Perhaps that context is explained in the full episode….
But she does take her disguise seriously and is well masked… and she doesn’t take her mask off immediately after the heist on her way back, that’s also a plus.
Their fight is nice, and I like how she manages to escape after she is down.
Rather uncool how easily he then catches her.
I do like that he unmasks her at gunpoint; that’s better than self-unmasking.
And that unmasking makes a nice reveal in combination with the dialogue.
Maybe I will see the full episode in the next few days to get the full context.
I am watching this new season every week now, and found some interesting scenes in it 🙂
The scene is quite short, so I will throw in 2 more videos here on the blog post.
Only here in the blog post will you find all 3 videos!

A wig and a mask
Wig only
Someone is grabing into her wig!

This scene drives me mad big time… but it’s also very interesting! 🙂
Ok, the (evil) anti-vigilante guys are looking for Karen Page, so she only goes into public areas with a wig and often sunglasses.
Here she is wearing her wig and a mask… like many other protesters, so she blends in fine.
Her disguise is very good, and no one would recognize her.
But then things fall quickly apart.
For no (obvious) reason, she pulls down her mask for the first time… maybe the old… “we can’t show our lead actress masked for too many seconds” trope again. 🙁
Or her character is careless like hell…. or both. 🙁
Then she pulls her mask back on again, but then pulls it off again for no reason.
At first, I thought a cop/anti-vigilante task force guy would yank her wig off, but no.
That seems to be some protester with a gas mask… but not entirely sure.
But what is happening there? Is she in the way? He pushes her and grabs her (false) hair.
He rips the wig off and is gone.
That seems so weird. So he ripped her wig off by accident and just ran off? Why did he grab her hair? Seems so very odd for some reasons.
Or was it on purpose? But why? And how did he know it was a wig?
However, it’s a great reveal when she is now fully exposed without her mask and wig.
It’s weird that she doesn’t put her mask back on, as that is still easily available to her.
But ok, she cares more about her friend who got knocked down.
Therefore, a leader of the anti-vigilante task force is recognizing her immediately.
A nice cliffhanger at the end of the episode 🙂
It drives me mad how poorly she manages to keep her face hidden in this.
2 self-unmaskings for no reason, and then her wig gets ripped off, and she fails to react to that.
Still a very interesting scene.

As a BONUS, I got two more videos for you from the show.
Let’s start with this one:
Yeah, she is a reporter in the underground who portrays the criminal mayor of New York, Wilson Fisk, who is a gangster boss in the first place.
She is perfectly disguised with that massive rubber mask.
Damn, how much I would love it if the bad guys would storm into the studio and rip that mask apart in front of the camera….. 😉

One more:
Yeah, no masked woman in this one.
But still a great “imagine if” moment as the unmasking is done quite well.
