I really like this video, and I also hate it! Why? More on that later on…
I stumbled upon this scene as I watch this show for a while and finally started watching it again.
We have two masked women in a heist 🙂

Masked woman number 1…
….and number 2
Time for some action!

Here is the video:

Ok, where to start?
I watched the episode and the blonde master thief was introduced. The police were never able to prove any of her thefts and she was planning something.
Of course, my fantasy imagined a great heist scene where she would battle some cops who tried to stop and unmask her.
I was really thrilled by the possibilities 🙂
Then she goes on a heist, and puts up a great mask …. and you might imagine how I reacted to the scene that followed 😉
I cursed at my TV as she was running away and unmasked herself for NO reason! DAMN IT! WHY????????
I mean the police already predicted she would show up there and that’s why all the cops were on the scene undercover.
But she is still masked and could escape. WHY does she unmask herself as she is running away?
That makes no sense at all. I mean as long she is masked she is still “safe” as the cops have no proof that she did it.
It would have been so great if Nolan (the guy in the security dude uniform) would wrestle her down and unmask after a fight… but NO, of course not!
It’s a real trope by now that masked women always unmask themselves for no reason.
That drives me crazy! Another wasted opportunity 🙁
I mean she is already wearing a nice catsuit (sort of) and the mask in combination with the cap is a great disguise… but they screw it up.
Also, it is quite odd that she is on a heist and is wearing these ankle boots with heels but… ok, not as crazy/unrealistic as a Catwoman with stiletto heels (TDKR)….even she was insanely sexy.
The second masked woman is just a little bonus as she is just a nameless henchwoman.
In my imagination, she would have also prevented the unmasking at a nightly heist (without a crew) and would then re-appear in later episodes 😉
Well, I don’t write these scripts…. hopefully, there will be more masked women in the show.
After the last years provided very little when it comes to interesting female unmasking scenes… this one clearly stands out and is pretttttty good!
Glad that someone posted about it on a certain forum 🙂

Well, quite a good unmasking 🙂 , and a nice surprise for Ivy!
Ok, as mostly I do have some issues, let’s start with those:
It’s a little shame that she doesn’t fit back or at least says something before she gets unmasked.
It would have been great if the unmasking would have been shown with more panels.
Also, it always annoys me that the mask seemingly goes off that easy, I mean the cowl shouldn’t go off like that with a quick yank.
The material below the chin should prevent that. Here it looks like that material just ripped very easily as there is such a gap in it.
But ok, enough nitpicking… it’s so rare that you see Batgirl getting unmasked by a villain! And here it is not just any villain, it’s Poison Ivy!
Glad that Poison Ivy immediately recognizes Daphne and is so shocked about the reveal. She is shocked much more than Daphne… which tells a little bit that Daphne is just pretending to be THE Batgirl.
Normally Batgirl should be completely devastated if she gets unmasked like that… after all this could be the end of her crime-fighting career.
And there is actually more… earlier in the comic:
Check out the pages before you continue!
A nice masking as Daphne puts on the cowl, even though we basically only see the end result.
But I do love that Poison Ivy is disguised as a Police Officer by wearing a full face mask!
Damn, I really wanna see a much slower unmasking with such a mask one day.
Would have been great if Batman grabs into that mask and would rip out the lower part over her real mouth for example.
Or her mask gets more accidentally damaged during a tussle and he then would realize that it is a mask and would do everything to fully unmask her.
However, quite a great issue in that a new Batgirl shows up, Poison Ivy gets unmasked and then Poison Ivy unmasks “Batgirl”!
I am pretty low on material to post…. but I haven’t posted about these scenes from a rather old animated movie!
In this one, a mysterious villain in full disguise keeps finishing off bad guys…. and actually, it’s more like a villainESS 😉
Soon Batman and the Joker get involved….
Preview:
There she is…
Batman wants to stop her!
Time to face the Joker!

Watch the video before you continue!
Yeah, I know… not the greatest reveal, especially since the Joker already knows who she is.
But when you watch the whole movie without already knowing who is under the mask… it’s a nice reveal since she perfectly hides who she is.
And her costume and the voice changer also cloak the fact that she is a woman. Plus the costume is rather unusual….
I have seen the cover of this movie several times but I never knew that it was about a female villain.
I do like her backstory, that she takes revenge and finishes off these bad guys. Basically, she isn’t really a villainess, more like a murderous vigilante.
Really a shame that the police showed up as Batman (seemingly) got the upper hand and might have unmasked her…. or at least tried that.
In the last weeks, I posted about the new Irma Vep TV show and the movie from 1996.
But Irma Vep actually first appeared in a movie serial in ….1915! Yes……1915!
Yes, that means black and white + no sound…just some added music.
I’m certainly a total beginner when it comes to movies THAT old but I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this movie serial may include the first unmasking of a woman in a movie!
After all, this was just about 20 years after the first movie was made and they didn’t make that many movies back then in the early days of cinema.
I didn’t upload this on Youtube as the Youtube police might have some issues with it. After all her costume is very stretchy and you can see through it sometimes.
It’s not hard to see that she isn’t wearing a bra underneath it so her nipples show in some shots. That’s why I slightly censored the pictures of her as well. I don’t know exactly how far I can go on this blog.
But don’t worry, the video isn’t censored 😉
Back then there was a big discussion about her costume as the movie serial was released, remember it was 1915 and that costume did move a lot of eyebrows (and other parts) back then.
Even today this costume would be troublesome (for some), especially in color and HD 😉
I think the mask combo is interesting with a cowl that is attached to the suit and an additional fabric that covers the face.
The mask of the new TV show is similar but there only the lower part of her face is covered by an additional piece of fabric.
With this mask, Irma is rather easy to unmask, as one quick pull is enough to expose her face (except the cowl part).
I like how he is immediately going for her mask to see the face of the masked thief he just caught. I don’t get why she didn’t resist him as he reaches for her mask, that’s a little minus point for me.
However, it is such a great fantasy to catch such a masked thief…. I wouldn’t mind being in his skin 😉
I guess I need a mansion and some valuables to attract thieves like her 😆
I added the scene with her replacement to the video as it is never wrong to have another masked woman in it, especially as the “masking” is in the video. (is that even a word?)
All in all a very interesting scene, even though it is in black and white and there is no sound (except music).
Time for another scene from the same movie which I posted about last week!
In this scene, the masked cat burglar in latex gets unmasked 🙂

She sneaks around and…
…gets caught!
He has special plans…

And here is the video:

In my opinion, the scene is very interesting but there are a lot of negative aspects for me.
It is shot in black and white (which is unsexy) and the scene has no audio as it is only a presentation for the movie makers who wanna check out what they have filmed earlier in the day.
As you can see in the ending the director isn’t happy about it at all and is arguing with the camera guy.
Sadly it’s not shown as they are actually filming it. 🙁
And I still don’t get why Irma Vep isn’t resisting as he unmasks her. (as in the original from 1916)
In the new TV show, the scene is done differently, and that is my favorite version:
In this one, the acting is quite…. off… a little bit.
On the plus side, it has a sexy cat burglar in latex(!) with a full face mask! Certainly, a fantastic outfit to create some great scenes with it…. which they are barely doing.
Imagine a cat burglar in that outfit and mask on a heist, getting caught by security guards… and then battling against them as they try to pin her down and unmask her 😉
Episode 1 of season 3 was a classic season opener for me. Much story to tell, little action.
And that means that Stargirl and co only had VERY limited screen time in this one. Two relatively short scenes with little action.
Certainly an interesting episode, but regarding material for this blog…. there was very little there.
On the good side, there were up to 4(!) masked women in these two short scenes! 🙂

Minor Spoilers ahead…
Storywise, I am not sure about the idea that all the JSA and Injustice League are now working together.
Not surprisingly characters like hourglass and Wildcat are not happy about working together with former villains and villainesses.
It’s a rather safe bet that it won’t work for too long 😉
Sadly, they all know each other’s …not so secret…secret identities so it would be SO easy for the bad guys to get the upper hand, but I think they won’t exploit that at all :-(.
Interestingly there were newspaper reports in this one about strange sightings that were caused by Stargirl.
Perhaps the public will FINALLY be aware that there are masked heroes and villains running around their city.
Then the masks would actually be really useful again as …so far… the heroes and villains only battled each other… while the normal people were not aware that these folks even exist.
And that would open some interesting possibilities….
Looking forward to the new episodes and ….hopefully…. there will be much more action with the many masked ladies of this show!
At first, I wanted to upload that scene on Youtube, but I suspect that the scene may be ….problematic…and I got into trouble for videos with “less”.
I simply don’t want to endanger my Maskripper Youtube channel.
Ok, that scene is the most interesting in an episode PACKED with interesting scenes.
There are more scenes of her in costume and mask and the film crew is discussing if it is ok to even film that scene and if you would be a pervert if you find it sexy (him touching her …like that…while she is unconscious). All that is highly interesting, especially as the director is strongly defending that scene and he admitted (to his female psycho-doc!) in an earlier episode that he is really turned on by women in catsuits and the whole Irma Vep role, which is played by that actress he really “likes”…… 🙂
Again….WATCH the whole episode…..at least!!!!!!
Now on to the scene itself:
I think she looks fantastic in that catsuit and mask!
The way they talk with each other….pure gold.
It’s a little odd that she gets surprised by his chloroform attack, even her hood and mask …maybe… preventing her from hearing or smelling the upcoming danger.
Also… as you should know by now…. I highly prefer unmaskings with a conscious heroine/villainess.
But nonetheless, the whole scene is incredibly sexy…. in certain ways.
Of course, it is not ok at all that the bad guy is doing that… but it is fiction, it’s not real.
I mean what a fantasy it is to see a sexy woman in such a catsuit and mask.
And the director inside this TV show really enjoys filming that scene big time 😉
Well, I can’t blame him…
–
3 more episodes to go in this season, hopefully, it gets another season….if the ending of the season allows it.
However, it is already clear to me that this TV show will end up in my Hall of Fame.
This one is quite odd, but certainly an interesting scene for us 😉
We have here a rather cheaply done action flick with some XXX scenes with Anna Nicole Smith.
Well, Anna Nicole Smith isn’t wearing a mask in this one so I won’t post scenes with her here.
But, we have a wedding that a terrorist is using to send his killers out to attack it!
And in this group of masked killers, you will find 2 or 3 masked women 🙂
Preview:
Such a nice wedding….
….well, until they show….
…up!

And here is the video:
–
Watch the video before you continue!
As you can see in this shootout, it is a rather cheezy action flick with really weird action (and a naughty Anna Nicole Smith).
That shootout, oh man….quite laughable how they all stand there in the open for most of the time and shoot at each other.
Not exactly the smart thing to do…if you wanna survive such a shootout.
The fact that NOBODY in the wedding crowd reacts to the fact that multiple masked armed killers are standing there….. LOL.
I mean there are even people standing behind the group of killers and nobody reacts at ALL, before they start shooting.
And they certainly know how to jump around when they get hit 😉
But let’s focus on the important aspects here:
I love that there are fully masked female terrorists in this scene! It’s a little hard to keep track of them. How many are there actually?
In the beginning, we see the one with the shotgun and the one with the assault rifle.
Later on, there is also one with a pistol, the one that gets into the van.
It’s quite confusing as you don’t these two masked women getting killed off during the shootout, at least not with the weapons they had at the beginning.
Even I think that one of the killers that get shot while carrying a UZI is a woman as the “death grunt” sounds rather….female.
Why the UZI now? Is that even a 4th masked woman?
So, it’s nearly impossible to tell how many masked women are there. Seems like 2-4.
Perhaps some of them have switched weapons during the shootout.
It’s really nice that one of them escapes and unmasks in the van, even though that is filmed from too far away.
For you, the visitors of the blog here I do have a BONUS scene that would be banned from Youtube very quickly 😉
In case you wonder what happened to the one woman that got away:
(was immediately blocked on Youtube, even though it is just 98 seconds long…. well, no promo for that movie then on my Youtube channel)
–
Watch the video before you continue!
Hah, I bet you didn’t see that ending coming (me neither)!
Quite a violent scene at first…
First that the woman actually gets stabbed (and killed) and then the masked killer is actually looking exactly like her!
Is it a twin? Is she dreaming? No, actually the whole scene is just in the imagination of the author who is picturing herself as the victim AND the killer in her own story!
Not really showing a lot of fantasy here madam writer… but certainly a very interesting twist inside this movie and thereby an interesting reveal as the killer unmasks herself.
I must admit I haven’t seen the whole movie, perhaps there is more to it…. but this is certainly the only scene with a masked woman in it.
Thanks to all those who recommended this one over the years!
I had my doubts about this one, but I’m rather low on material and so I decided to make a post about it.
This one is exclusively on the blog and not on my Youtube channel for two reasons:
1) I don’t wanna risk anything in terms of showing “nudity” on Youtube, as they are sometimes very strict. I don’t think this clip should be troublesome, but I want to be on the safe side, especially after what happened to my old Frogwoman Youtube channel earlier this year.
2) I think the scene has some interesting aspects, but overall it’s rather embarrassing, so I don’t want it on my Youtube channel 😆
