Let’s start with the bad aspects:
There is no unmasking action or any secret identity issues in this scene and the entire show. 🙁
But… on the good side:
You have three hot women in masks… and that in a quite lengthy heist! Some day I have to re-edit the whole heist scene from all the episodes into one video.
Which will be quite difficult with all the time jumps…
Plus the masks are very interesting with that unusual look! They offer quite a good disguise.
It’s a shame that there were so many guards in that heist… but it’s just a massive shootout. Pretty cool, but only in regard to stylish action scenes.
In my version, I would have included some hand-to-hand combat scenes with guards who are curious to see who is under these masks 😉
All in all, I like the whole season, as is a good thriller show with interesting characters.
I will re-watch this one in some years.
I don’t think there will be a second season, as the storyline is “finished”, but I wouldn’t mind a second season… with some more masked women of course 😉
Yeah, sadly very little screen time for our masked woman and she then just gets away.
Also, the very fast editing doesn’t help….
However, I always enjoy scenes like this a lot! A masked villainess in an action scene…. love it!
I always hope that she gets into a hand-to-hand fight with the cops who would then try everything to dramatically unmask her… but that happens very rarely… sadly.
But I enjoy every second with such a masked woman nonetheless.
It’s time for a proper upgrade as there is so little text in these old posts!
This is one of my favorite scenes that I have watched a hundred times, so it’s time to make a proper upgrade post.
Also, the video is on my pretty small Dailymotion channel, so many of you may have never seen the video or that old post.

In this TV show, Barbara Gordon is Oracle and is bound to a wheelchair.
As her old enemy, Lady Shiva re-appears in Gotham Barbara feels the need to put on her old (GREAT) Batgirl costume and can (shortly) walk again with the help of an experimental device.
Preview:
The two meet again..
…Lady Shiva…
…and Batgirl!
Batgirl is down!
Is that a hand at her cowl? 😉

This Batgirl costume (alongside the nearly identical one from “Batman and Robin”) is SO AWESOME for me!
The mixture with the (mostly) black leather and rubber is sexy as hell and I love every second Dina Meyer is in it (and Alicia Silverstone).
If I would live in that Gotham City I would become a criminal in no time or …even better… a cop who wants to arrest the vigilante. #BlackScorpionvibes
Or I would need to be rescued from evil criminals suspectingly often 😉
The cowl is nice but basically my only issue about the whole outfit.
It is cut open very high at the back of the head and …more problematic… has no chin strap and no neck coverage.
So unmasking her is way too easy as this video demonstrates.
Also, the cowl could simply fall off in a hectic fight… and that shouldn’t be possible.
It’s a fantastic tread that here we also have a second masked woman in the scene… Lady Shiva.
And damn… her mask is AWESOME and the costume is quite good as well.
It’s a shame that Batgirl here goes down so easily as that device is failing quickly. 🙁
An epic unmasking battle with these two where Batgirl isn’t paralyzed and is wearing a properly secured/upgraded cowl… is basically my holy grail.
Also a whole TV show with such a Batgirl as the lead character…. would be even more insanely-awesome-fantastic 😉
In this show Batgirl is just in one episode and some black and white mini flashbacks.
I do love that Shiva here immediately goes for Batgirl’s mask as soon she realizes that Batgirl is helpless!
That’s how a villain(ess) should do it! She has the opportunity to find out who Batgirl is and takes it. Perfect!
Not like most of the other villains who just run off and aren’t interested at all to find out who is hiding behind that mask.
Now the helpless Barbara Gordon is lying in front of her and she is ready to finish her off to get her revenge (most likely).
Then Huntress, who is sadly never wearing a mask or even a costume, shows up right in time to save Barbara.
She was too late to save Batgirl from the unmasking though. #timing
Due to the fact that Huntress isn’t wearing a mask, Lady Shiva recognizes Helena and runs off as she doesn’t wanna fight against her.
Or maybe she was afraid to lose and then be unmasked as well? 😉
All in all just an awesome scene!
Here, as a little bonus… two (edited) pictures of the “exposed” Barbara:
This one was recommended to me a while ago, but I shamefully forgot about checking out the movie.
Now I finally did, and damn…. it was worth it!
I watched the whole thing to get the full context.

They get ready….

I edited the whole sequence into two parts so it had a better chance of getting onto YouTube.
It was still restricted… but only in one country, and only about 1% of the watchers of the YouTube videos (on my channel) are from this country so I think it’s ok.
I saw Tania Raymonde as she was still a girl on “Malcolm in the Middle” for the first time and then later I started to get a little crush on her.
And now she has a post on both of my blogs… but more on that later on.
The masks are really nice, hiding their identities perfectly.
It’s a shame that she didn’t get unmasked by someone else… but we have 2 self-unmaskings and quite a lot of screentime of her in that mask. 🙂
And to know that Tania Raymonde is under that mask… oh boy!
In my version she would have tussled with a guy on that bed… and he would claw into her mask, she would fight back and then he would finally manage to tear her mask wide open… unmasking her. 😉
Also, a nice bonus that Lili Simmons is in this one! Banshee is one of my favorite TV shows and she is in it.
Sadly this movie isn’t available at all on Blu-ray (or DVD) in Germany (so far). I only found a British DVD version of it.
Hopefully, that will change, but as the movie is already 6 years old… I somehow doubt it.
Wanna see more of Tania Raymonde? Check out this post on my other blog:
Thanks a lot (again) to the one who recommended me this one a while ago!
This bizarre Superheroine show is quite a rollercoaster.
It has 129(!) episodes, which are available on Youtube!
A masked superheroine in different costumes and solid masks is the lead character!
It has a lot of secret identity issues incl. unmaskings and unmasking attempts!
It even has a masked villainess that is in many episodes!
Sounds fantastic? Well yes…. BUT…. there are also some problems.
More on that later on…

Supergirl!?!
And a masked villainess!
She is pinned down and someone is reaching for her mask!

I combined scenes from 2 episodes for this one. One episode ends just after the villainess unmasked herself and we see Supergirl’s shocked face. #cliffhanger

Here are the problems the show has for me:
– Obviously, the language issue if you are not familiar with it… no dub or subtitles are available
– The playlist of this show has 129 videos with episodes but they are …often… not in order… a total mess
– It’s a soap opera, a really over-the-top soap opera… that you can realize very quickly without understanding a word 😆
– Really bad CGI and a total overload of superpowers
– some really annoying characters like a magic micro-mini-human
But, it also has a lot to offer 🙂 (as mentioned above)
Now to the scene itself:
Supergirl knows who the villain is, I think she was/is in love with him as he was turned into this evil character.
So he is shocked to find her under the mask of his enemy… Supergirl.
He wants to protect her so he carries the unmasked Supergirl away before the villainess can find her.
It’s been a while since I watched (skipped through) these episodes and the language issue makes it a lot more difficult to follow the crazy storyline.
I like the struggle with her and that he unmasks her, even the camera should be more focused on her face.
But I certainly love the expression on her face as she realizes in terror that he unmasked her.
She should have put up more of a fight… but I guess the way she got smashed against the tree was still affecting her big time.
I love how the guy is tossing her mask on the ground as he isn’t exactly happy about finding out that his love was Supergirl the whole time.
All in all, a really interesting scene.
In other episodes, she is wearing a costume that makes her look like a version of Spider-girl, also really interesting!
And the mask is actually the source of her power, as soon she puts it on she turns into the superheroine.
That means an unmasking leaves her powerless AND destroys her secret identity, quite a combo.
I guess I could make …at least…. 5 more posts with scenes from this show.
I will think about it….
–
The hint where to find the playlist with the other episodes can be easily found in the video 😉
Now it’s time to post about another scene that I haven’t posted here for some reason.
But it’s certainly an interesting scene as well!
Black Scorpion faces the villainess Aftershock who wants to destroy a whole city with her earthquake machine!

That was certainly a more interesting self-unmasking as she unmasked herself in front of a villain(ess)!
Darcy knows the professor “Ursula Undershaft” and she knows that Ursula is the villainess Aftershock.
Which is not a surprise at all as her “mask” is very unusual and ridiculous. 😆
I mean it doesn’t hide all the decisive parts so it’s stylish, but also useless.
Black Scorpion takes a big risk by unmasking herself! But well, in the end, the plan somehow works out, even not as intended.
She certainly wanted to save Ursula, but that wasn’t an option anymore.
By the sacrificial death of Aftershock the reveal of her secret identity doesn’t have any effect on her superhero career.
Of course, I would have preferred that neither Black Scorpion nor Aftershock would have known each other’s secret identity …and that they have an unmasking battle… but you can’t have everything 😉
This one is quite a rollercoaster but see for yourself…

Ok, first of all, the picture quality is quite bad. The movie is not that old (2012), but I still haven’t found a better source than this.
There is a Polish DVD of this flick, even with English subtitles, but it’s quite rare and not so cheap.
Hopefully, I will upgrade this post in the future.
I only have a video in the Polish language without subtitles, so I don’t know why exactly the two masked intruders are there.
Also, it’s a shame it’s a comedy… which ruins the tension here and there. Like the music does when the first woman opens her leather jacket.
However an awesome dream!
But now to the good aspects! There are quite a few 🙂
There are 3(!) mask-related actions in about 4 minutes… quite an accomplishment! And 2 different hot women.
First, she gets unmasked by him! A little quick.. but I like that he immediately goes for her mask after he took control of her arms.
Then we get to see the other woman and how she masks herself and then unmasks herself back in the van.
Also, she looks really great in that leather jacket and the mask!
Damn, what I would give to find an intruder like this one day….
It’s a nice touch that he first dreams of one woman and then another one shows up in another great outfit… sadly this one then quickly runs off after she got hit randomly by the clowny guy.
Would have been interesting if he would have gotten for her mask here as well 😉
