Masked women in movies, tv-series, cosplay, comics, fan art and fan movies – With villainesses and heroines like Catwoman, Batgirl, Batwoman, Black Scorpion and Spider-gwen. Unmaskings included!
In the issue from this week, Catwoman ends up in a room with two grenades! (early in the comic)
She survives, but the explosion badly rips her mask, and so she runs around with it for the rest of the issue 😉
I wanna show 3 scenes with 8 pages. There are more, of course, but I won’t show the complete comic here.

You may know by now that I love damaged masks, so the comic starts really good!
But again, it’s a shame that no one uses this opportunity for an easy unmasking.
In the 2nd scene, where she fights against the woman, that woman has her hand on her mask once, and then she even grabs the hair that is exposed by the mask damage.
But….again, the villain doesn’t unmask the heroine (I would count Catwoman into that category, 51% heroine/ 49% villainess)!
As I woke up one hour ago, checking a certain site as every morning…my pulse was accelerated through the roof.
😀 Right now, I am so HAPPY, sooooo HAPPY. 😀
So far, it seemed most likely that they would order season 1 after the pilot was filmed in march…but hey, I’m very superstitious when it comes to possible great news.
But now, all doubts are gone, as it is official:
Batwoman – Season 1 …is officially ordered!
–
A short teaser surfaced to confirm it:
We will get a TV SERIES with a MASKED HEROINE in the MAIN role!!!
And easy to say after only 2 TV series so far (Queen of Swords and Black Scorpion) this is clearly the first one with a “real” budget so far.
And these series are both around 20 years old. It was about damn time!
(And hopefully it will be the first one(!) who will get …a second season)
–
And the chances for more masked women (villainesses and heroines) are ….very high/near certain!!!
Did some say Batgirl, Catwoman, Huntress? 😉
–
Some images, mostly from the Elseworlds crossover event from december:
–
More details like:
– how many episodes?
– when does the series start exactly?
– storyline?
…will be released next week (around May 16) as the CW presents their shows for the next tv season (fall)!
–
Later this day I will celebrate this news with expensive burgers and something special to drink. 😉
May 8th, 2019 ….. a day to remember.
(((or May 7th, if you take U.S. time)))

What do you think about this news?
Let us know in the comments below!

To celebrate this very special news…. I will give away FREE months for the VIP club of Maskripper!
The task is very easy, you have to guess….how many DVDs and Blurays I do have in my movie/TV-series collection?
(the one/ones closest to the right result win – every number can only be taken ONCE)
Ok, folks, back to the normal….”post on sunday” schedule!
In the last episode of Gotham (ever), we see a 10 years time jump in the future. And for that they choose a new actress as Catwoman/Selina Kyle. Since Camren Bicondova is still pretty young it would look weird if she would play a ten-year older self. So they choose Lili Simmons (you should know her from the TV series Banshee!) for playing the role.
For this video I included all the Catwoman scenes and 2 scenes with Selina Kyle.
Preview:
A diamond and a masked burglar….
….with claws?! Catwoman strikes!
Time to take off that mask!

And here is the video:

As I just saw this last episode of the series two days ago. I am pretty sad that it is all over.
I had high hopes in that series. It delivered a lot. I hoped for a VERY long run to see Selina and Bruce grow into Catwoman and Batman.
And at the beginning of season 4 Selina put on a mask for two episodes. I hoped that would be the start of her transformation into Catwoman.
Well….yes and no. She nearly always had her black leather clothes and her claws on the gloves. But no more mask and no real Catwoman outfit.
–
On the good side this first real Catwoman appearance on the show did soften my pain of “parting” a little.
I’m a pretty uncritical guy…but…………….
This Catwoman outfit….well, it looks like they quickly put it together without much thinking or money.
This cowl/mask…. I guess it is no coincidence we don’t get to see it for a real close-up.
This visor on the cowl……MY GOD!!! That is not Catwoman!
No cat-ears??? WHY???? That is not Catwoman!
I guess they were so ashamed of that mask that they didn’t show it in a close up.
What is weird, she is never called Catwoman in the episode. Is that the reason her mask looks like that?
90% of the (at least solid) cosplayers can design a better Catwoman mask than this.
–
What is weird, she never is called Catwoman in the episode. Is that the reason her mask looks like that?
–
And she pulls off her mask in the middle of her heist……WELL, THAT is a great idea!!!
(seems to be some sort of ….disease under the masked women lately (in Arrow and now in Gotham), unmasking for no reason and risking exposure)
*Rant over*
–
Gotham is over. Arrow is over next year.
DAMN I do need the confirmation that Batwoman will get the OK for season 1.
–
Ok, two things I do like regarding her mask. It does cover her face pretty well….and…with that 4 press buttons it is secured at least a little (unlike other masks that a child could just pull off with 2 fingers…).
–
*EDIT, April 30*
Thanks to a friendly user….here is a picture that provides a better look at the costume:
(click to enlarge to full size)
Well, it was good there was this last episode with the real Catwoman…but that outfit is pretty different from any Catwoman outfit from the movies and comics. And the only thing that says “Catwoman” are the claws on these gloves.
–
What do you think of her costume?
And of the decision to cast Lilli Simmons for that role?
Well, with that headline you are thinking about the Batman TV show from the 60’s? Well, that’s wrong. This movie from the Philippines is some sort of much …..weirder, much …..insaner parody of the Adam West Batman TV show (which was a parody itself…more or less 😉 )
For today I wanna show you a short video which will…….surprise you with the strangest fight between Batman and Catwoman!
I never saw the whole movie, because it’s not available in any language I understand, but more important: It is batshit crazy! If you can watch the whole movie….well, then you are officially insane 😆
For you folks I edited the “best” part of it, in which the Joker, Pinguin and Catwoman try to escape after a heist, but Batman and Robin can’t let that happen!
Preview:
Pinguin, Joker…
…and Catwoman!
Doesn’t look too good for Catwoman!
(click to enlarge)
–
Sorry for the picture quality….but that is actually the best one available. Fits somehow to the movie…. 😉
–
And here is the video:
–
Well, that was rather…….ODD!
Catwoman throwing cats at him….both trying to strangle each other….and then the weirdest part!
Looks like Batman could easily unmask Catwoman from behind….or put handcuffs on her.
But what does he do instead? He bites her. He BITES her…and makes some animal noises. Hmhm…… WTF?!
By skipping through the movie I can (99%) assure you that he isn’t a vampire…I guess there is just no sane explanation for it 😉
–
Catwoman’s costume is kind of strange as well, doesn’t look like a cat, but not unsexy with these legs in pantyhose (even the picture quality is really bad).
And she has a much bigger mask than the original Catwoman from the US TV show.
So, my first story for this blog is ready! It was a lot of work, but work, that actually was interesting for most of the time. 🙂
On this story Catwoman “visits” a mansion at night to get some shiny things from the safe. But the handsome playboy (no, not that one) wasn’t sleeping too….
So, I came up with 16 pages! 16 pages incl. Catwoman in a sexy catsuit, overknee boots, bondage elements, extensive unmasking scenes, fight scenes, some sex scenes and more 🙂
Quite a long story, but you should take your time and read it.
Here is the extensive preview version with 11 of the 16 pages:
[Some spoiler included! – if you didn’t and want to play the game in the future]
Time for some great scenes from the video games. In Season 1 of “Batman – The telltale series” Batman gets to the mayor’s office where some thugs broke into.
But Catwoman is there too! So a really cool and sexy fight starts. 🙂
Later we see them both as Selina and Bruce…and they have a very interesting conversation.
Note: I did play the game, but the video shown isn’t from my playthrough. But the results are the same…

And here ist the video:

I really like that “tension” between Catwoman and Batman.
And the mask damage was nice as well as her (partly) unmasking, when her goggles fall off.
And the fact they the both know their identities shortly afterwards…kind of uncool.
But the dialogues are very well made….very allusive.
Today I wanna celebrate the new Catwoman comic series that started this week. Some great news: Not only that there IS a new Catwoman series after years of absence…she also has a new costume!
And I really like the new one! The goggles on the old costume never worked for me… they didn’t look good… they broke some times….and she had them on her forehead much too often, which ruined the disguise completely.
Now she has a real cowl again! It does look much better and she has a much more “complete” mask in my opinion. And the rest of the costume looks pretty good as well.
A little back story of what happened before the pages I show down below:
[SPOILER]
The police try to arrest Selina (as they think she is Catwoman 🙁 ) for two murdered cops. She escapes them and watches the news where they say that Catwoman killed these cops.
She wants to prove them wrong. And has now a different costume, so she clearly looks different from the Catwoman that committed the murders…
(click on the arrows to browse through the pages)
–
Well, besides the cool new costume…I love the idea with the copycats. Seeing so many CatwomEn…. really cool.
And I wonder how Catwoman will handle that situation…perhaps the copycats attack her and try to unmask her 😉
That would be something! And another run-in with the police would be interesting as well.
As promised, I wanna share my impressions from my first comic con in Dortmund yesterday.
As I understand it we didn’t have comic cons in germany before 2015. And now we have the “german comic con” in 4 different cities throughout the year.
In addition there is the “comic con germany” that is just once a year.
As I heard it was very crowded on saturday. Last year they used 4 big halls, and the folks had enough space. This year they put the con in just 2 big halls…
Well, I was there on sunday. It was crowded, but not on a really annoying scale.
I was hoping to see some Catwomen, Batgirls and other masked, female heroines and villainesses.
There were lots of lots of women/girls that did cosplays from japanese mangas… and lots of Harley Quinn’s. And there were a lot of female cosplayers that “did” Star Wars and Game of Thrones.
But regarding masked women from DC or Marvel… well I saw/noticed one Black Cat, two Batgirls, three Catwomen, one Spider-girl (unmasked) and some masked assassin from the Court of owls. I hoped for more… and no Batwoman, no Canary, no masked Spier-girl/Gwen, no Spoiler. Of course I was only there on one day and of course you can’t see every cosplayer.
I definitely need to improve on my handling of my photo camera and the “photographer” skills. But I will learn from that experience.
From the material I have I edited around 10 really short clips into one short video.
But let’s start with some pictures (nearly all masked women are in the video) :
Three cars you all should know…
Resident Evil
Ghostbusters
2 Catwomen (the hidden one can be seen on the video)
Starship Troopers
Fallout
Fallout
Walking Dead – Neagan bats
Star Wars
Carl Weathers
Critters
Scary…
…Harley Quinn, female joker, Pennywise and beast/werewolf (?)

And here comes MY self-filmed video:
–
In the video you should find 3 Catwomen and one Batgirl (my favorite cosplay that day).
And if you look closely, you will find a second batgirl, without cowl (not facing the camera)
–
*EDIT* You can see that Batgirl and more great cosplays in this official video at around 0:40:
–
Well, actually these were my first Batgirl/Catwomen that I saw in “real” life. And that was a pretty great experience. I will try to attend more comic cons in the future. And I’m pretty sure that then I can present better picture/video material. It would be great if there was a con just for DC and Marvel.
But -after all- it was a promising start…
Thanks to all the cosplayers! Great Job!
Feel free to comment!
Did you visited comic cons in the past? What are your experiences?
Over the years I read a lot of comics. Of course mainly these with masked heroines in it 😉
I posted some of these covers together with pages from the story. Now it’s time to show some of my favorite cover artworks with masked heroine in some sort of peril.

For starters I created a new page for this blog. You can see it above in the menu.
Check it out more info and 2 new videos!
Catwoman in Gotham is a page dedicated to running TV show Gotham where we can witness the transformation from Selina Kyle in Catwoman. Every scene with Catwoman will be found there!
Well, I guess you may have heard already that Joss Whedon will direct an official DC movie with Batgirl in the main role.
For me that news hit me like a hammer. GREAT! GREAT! GREAT! Since ages I had hoped they would make such a movie…and then I read the news. I couldn’t believe it at first.
Ok, that movie won’t come out this year or next year. Perhaps 2019? But no matter when it will hit the screens…I am SO excited about it!
–
The last time I was so excited about a future movie was as TDKR was in planning and it was announced that Catwoman would be in it. I read every preview, watched every trailer a dozen times, tried to get as many pictures as possible. And Catwoman only had a small role in that movie. Her suit was great, but her mask was…pretty terrible. She did not have a secret identity at all, nearly everybody knew who was behind the mask. No unmasking action at all 🙁 .
That was really annoying for me! After all the anticipation I was a little disappointed at first after I left the movie theater.
However, despite all these facts, I love that movie and I love Anne Hathaway as Catwoman.
–
And now there will be a Batgirl movie 🙂
Batgirl was always my favorite heroine. And she will have the main part in that movie!!! I can’t imagine right now, how much more excited I will be when more facts to this movie will be released.
Who will be under that mask? Who will play this role and will (most certainly) become a legend for me?
How will the costume look? What about the mask?
What will the story?
Which villains will be in it? May be Catwoman? Or other hot villainesses?
Will they include other female heroine in it? Like Spoiler? Or the Huntress?
This movie has big potential to become my ultimate “hall of fame”-movie. I guess I will get some serious (heart-)problems when the first trailer is released…. 🙂
It seems like Whedon will take the Barbara Gordon-Batgirl version from the “New 52” Storyline. Great news! I want a serious batgirl movie and not that damn new “helmet”-batgirl version from the new comic run (that sucks btw.!).
Regarding the costume:
Great costume! He could take that as it is!
But the mask needs more material!
So that it can’t be pulled off…
that easy.
–
Let’s see how this epic movie will develop throughout the next months/years. I can’t wait for more news!
Hey folks, long time there was no new material “Masks off!”, my little “unmaskings in comics”-section.
Now I do have something.
The next gallery has all the catwoman/selina pictures from 2 comics, but check it out…
(click to enlarge it)

Well, isn’t that weird?
[Spoilers ahead]
[Spoilers ahead]
[Spoilers ahead]
Bane seems to know who catwoman is. The recognise Selina with her wig on (she isn’t shown with it before…). The “unwig/unmask” her, put her in her Catwoman suit (?????? WHAT?!!!), tie her up, and in the next picture she is free again…. A lot isn’t shown in these comics.
Hmhmh, all pretty weird!
Now I wonder what happens next. Will Bane get revenge on her?
Perhaps he will rip her mask off…it’s only a slight chance, but that would be GREAT!
That is not Catwoman!
