This post is about a scene that is rather very fresh since that episode was just shown 3 weeks ago.
Most of you should have heard about the blockbuster show The Mandalorian by now.
And now the TV show has “qualified” for this blog as well!
I cut the scene rather short to have it on Youtube, but even the barely 3 minutes were seemingly too “long” for Disney to allow it.
But where there are masked women….there is a way 😉
Preview:
Let me help you up!
Baby Yoda is safe!
2 masked women! Who is under these masks?

…sorry, had to remove it…..you are too late…

I do watch the Star Wars movies and this TV show, but honestly, I didn’t know the seemingly quite famous character.
The woman with the orange hair is Bo-Katan Kryze played by Katee Sackhoff.
As the lead character nearly never takes his helmet off (an important rule) I was quite surprised that they unmasked in front of him.
The helmets as masks aren’t exactly sexy for me, but as they completely conceal the face they are adding a very interesting aspect of mystery to the scene. You can clearly identify the two women as their shapes give it away…. luckily, contrary to the 4 masked female diamond thieves I presented in the last weeks.
But you don’t have any clue on who the woman under each helmet would look. A nice thrill for me 🙂
I didn’t know before the unmasking that Katee Sackhoff was under the helmet so it was a nice surprise for me.
There are more scenes with the two masked women in the episode, so you should check it out if you have the chance.
If you wanna know in which episode this scene was in:
Season 2 is still coming next year,but now we can also say: ….Season 2 is starting next MONTH!
….sounds SOOO much better… 😉

Besides that, the episodes titles for the first 5 episodes were revealed:
Spoiler title
2×01 – Whatever Happened to Kate Kane?
2×02 – Prior Criminal History
2×03 – Bat Girl Magic!
2×04 – Fair Skin, Blue Eyes
2×05 – Gore on Canvas
Judging by the titles:
1) Well, hopefully we will get some answers to that….only some….at least.
2) That will certainly be about Ryan Wilders criminal past and how she now wants to leave that behing her
3) A wordplay…. this will be the episode were Ryan gets her own/new batsuit. But why “Girl” instead of “Woman”? I doubt it has anything to do with Batgirl.
4) Sounds like a description of Alice(?)
5) Interesting….. an episode with a horror touch? Perhaps the episode with Victor Zsasz?

Forgot to post this one, even it has only some new seconds of a scene from season 2:
🙂
–
I am hoping/expecting that the full trailer for season 2 surfaces with the next 9 days.
Don’t get me wrong, the movie isn’t bad, but especially for the ones who love to see masked women….it was a wasted opportunity. 🙁
For obvious reasons I re-watched a lot of the Sean Connery movies in the last weeks, and this was one of them.
The starting position is really promising:
You have grandmaster Sean Connery and you have the stunning Catherine Zeta-Jones as a master thief!
What you could do with such ingredients….
But let’s start at the beginning of the movie [SPOILERS ahead]:
A thief climbs down a skyscraper and breaks into it, robs a painting, wearing a some odd full face helmet with a display in it.
Only later we get to know this was actually the master thief that is played by Catherine Zeta-Jones. Quite a surprise!
A guess that the whole part was played by a stuntman as you can’t see for sure at any time of which gender the thief is.
But at least the thief was masked during the heist….more on that later.
Time for a video!
In this scene Catherine practises her movements while avoiding the “security measures”.
Ok, the isn’t really masked, but she is wearing a blindfold…which is practically an advanced eye mask.
And good old Sean Connery certainly seems to enjoy what he is seeing…. 😉
Video:
–
I wanted to show more from the movie, but a longer video got blocked right away.
So, I decided to show more interesting scenes from this movie just on pictures.
This scene is quite sexy as Catherine moves carefully through the openings between the fake lasern beams. I totally understand why Sean reacts like that.
–
Some pictures from other scenes:
Early in the movie….
….on another heist
Endurance training…
…in a wetsuit
For some seconds Catherine does wear a mask
Most likely a stuntdiver posing
…as Catherine
Time for the real heist!
In a ….sort of….ski suit???
Without mask????

[…more SPOILERS ahead]
These pictures show some of the wasted potential of this movie (especially for those who love masked women).
On the first heist you don’t know that it is Catherine, you can’t even see that it is a woman.
On both later heists she doesn’t wear a mask! Completely idiotic…. I am sure the producers said: “We have Catherine Zeta-Jones in our movie! We can’t disguise her pretty face….”.
A really bad decision! Anytime a guard could walk in, she could be filmed the whole time. Only really dumb thieves would break into some place without a mask when there is only a slightest chance for beeing seen/recorded.
She does wear a wetsuit in one scene, but that is only seen from these binocular shots as she quickly puts on a bathrobe.
The scuba scene is rather uninteresting as it is very short and dark. And I am sure that none of the two actors actually dove at all in that scene.
As they get into the room with the golden mask she is wearing that weird suit you see on the pictures above.
What is that? A ski suit? A 70’s b-movie space suit? It doesn’t look good and it isn’t skin tight like it should be.
I mean she is moving through invisible laser beams that would trigger the alarm. Her clothing should be REALLY tight to improve her chances.
There is also a third, final heist…but she doesn’t wear a catsuit or a mask then either. 🙁
–
Yeah, it is a solid movie…but damn…. still I get a little mad everytime I think what COULD have been….
Imagine Catherine in a real catsuit, with a real mask (cowl).
A guard discovers her, they fight. A second guard arrives.
They try to unmask her. She can barely avoid it, but her mask gets ripped/damaged.
She must flee quickly. Guards chasing her….
–
Here is the movie title for those who don’t know it:
I know this movie since it was in the theaters but forgot about this scene afterwards.
So, it’s time that it is posted here on the blog!
We have two masked agents and a bunch of soldiers….sounds weird? Well, yes!
Preview:
The masked agents
Who is hiding under this….
….mask?

And here is the video:
–
Well, I don’t have a clue why they wore those masks in the first place when the immediately unmask in front of all those soliders…..BUT….it was really nice to see Jessica Alba unmasking herself!
I cut the scene rather short to avoid problems with youtube, but every second they wear those masks in the movie… is in the clip.
So, after I posed scenes 1 and 2 from this episode last week….it’s now time for the other two episodes I mentioned!
Before you watch the next video:
They SWAT folks actually figured out who the 4 women are under these masks after they have killed and unmasked the first one (scene 2).
They find out where woman number 2 is hiding and try to arrest her…
Preview, Scene 3:
She won’t give up easily as well!
Can they capture her alive?

And here is the video:
–
Watch the video before you continue…
Yeah, I know there isn’t actually a masked woman in this one, but I wanted to show what happens to all 4 of the burglars.
There are not many shootouts with a woman armed with a submachinegun.
Even it’s not really a shootout as they try to capture her alive after they had to kill one of the burglars. They could have easily finished her off if they wanted to.
And yeah, there is another video….so, you may guess it by now… it’s an ALL-FEMALE burglar team!!! A VERY RARE thing!
And certainly the most “armed to their teeth womens team” that I know of.

Preview, Scene 4:
They want more diamonds!
Burglars VS
SWAT! What will happen?

And here is the video:

Watch the video before you continue…
Spoiler title
Forced to unmask by noise…..
…. well, that’s a new variation for me. 🙂
The last two were determined not to give up, so it was a good weapon to overpower them and capture them alive. So 3 of the 4 women survived the episode.
And I really like the background that all served in the Israeli military as it’s mandatory for men AND women there to serve.
They had a good reason to steal from that criminal murderer and I was kind of disappointed that their plan didn’t suceed as they planned.
But at least it got the dirtbag arrested in the end.
–
That’s the episode and TV show in which you can find these scenes:
Interesting pictures that shorten the waiting time before season 2 starts on January 17th 🙂
Will be interesting to see what kind of weapons and gadgets the Batmobile has! A car has certainly more space for them as Kate’s Batcycle had in season 1.

Also, here are a couple of short videos that Javicia posteded the last days (turn on the audio!):
(click on the arrows to enlarge the video to full size)
Thanks again to the friendly blog visitor who recommended me this gem!
This TV episode offers actually 4(!) interesting scenes and I wanna present the first two today.
We have 4 heavily armored, masked burglars who love shiny diamonds!
Can they be stopped? Who is under these masks?
Preview, scene 1:
Shiny diamonds!
They won’t give up easily….

And here is the video:
–
I did cut a short scene out of it where the police car starts chasing them to make the video shorter and thereby making it more likelier to not be blocked on Youtube.
My opinion on this first scene can be found below…
–
Preview, scene 2:
S.w.a.t.
VS burglars!
Not a regular burglar!
(click to enlarge)
–
And here is the video:
–
Scene 1 (watch the video first!):
Yeah, these burglars mean buisiness! Fully masked, heavily armored and with a lot of firepower!
The exact opposite of the sneaky cat-burglar 😉
I like how they blackmail the safe guy, but letting him live as he is no threat to them.
The car chase is pretty cool. They escaped without killing anyone (except the folks who foolishly shot at them).
–
Scene 2 (watch the video first!):
Ok, I don’t know if that would actually work to rebound a bullet like that. Also I don’t think it was 100% necessary to kill the burglar.
For examples the feet and hands weren’t protected with bulletproof material and the distance was pretty close. They should have been able to hit the burglar.
I’m not sure if she sacrificed herself to cover the retreat of the others or if they let her or they left her behind on purpose.
But it was a nice reveal and highly unusual to find a woman under that mask! 🙂
With such a disguise there is no chance at all someone would know who is behind these masks.
Off course without a masked woman in the team I wouldn’t post these scenes here….
And the fact that I wanna post 2 more scenes from this episode….. may “hint” that this wasn’t the only woman under these masks 😉
–
Until the other two scenes are posted…I won’t reveal the title of the show and episode number.
Today the CW released the starting date for season 2!
That’s 80 days to go!
–
And it’s actually the first Arrowverse/CWverse show that’s coming back!
Black Lightning will return on February 8.
The Flash will return on February 23.
Superman & Lois will premier on February 23 right after the Flash.
*EDIT*
Here a newly released graphic with all the start dates:
(the Batwoman picture is NEW!)

Glad that Batwoman is the first show (of the Arrowverse/CWverse) that will be shown next year! I do like Black Lightning and the Flash as well, but I can definately wait some weeks longer for them.
Don’t know what to think about the Superman & Lois show yet. I will give it a try, but so far I’m not thrilled to see it.
–
January 17….you can’t come soon enough! 😉
–
*EDIT2*
A short but great video from set shows Javicia in the new costume:
–
Some screenshots from the video:
(click to enlarge)
–
Wow, a really good, pure view on the costume! Even the cowl is missing…
The CW released these two promo pictures of Javicia Leslie in her NEW Batwoman costume(will debut in episode 3 of season 2):
(click to enlarge to full size)
–
DAMN!
I am (positively) surprised!
Love these new shiny, smooth panels on her costume! Very sexy
Also the red gauntlets are awesome. Thanks god the cowl didn’t get smaller/less concealing like I feared.
The cowl has a chin strap again!
This really fuels my anticipation for season 2 after we got practically nothing in regards of promo pictures and no teaser or trailers so far!
The movie is one crazy mess, but this scene has certainly something 🙂
Preview:
Villainess VS
Heroine!
Who will win?
And who is behind these masks?

And here is the video:
–
Watch the video before you continue reading!
Well, a shame that the villainess wasn’t unmasked, even she is only wearing a one dollar Halloween mask. But it did hide just enough to make me curious.
The unmasking of the heroine is solid. Good to see a villain(ess) who cares enough to unmask the hero(ine).
And the smoking hot Carmen Electra does look better without that weird metal thingy.
The stunt/fight coordinator is sadly on the same level as the person who designed the mask….
However it is a very rare sight to see two masked women fighting each other….+ one of them is Carmen Electra….. 🙂
