Lady Shiva

Batgirl unmasked by Lady Shiva! – [Hall of Fame][Upgrade]

by

In the early days of the blog, I made this post.

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.

Watch the video before you continue!

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:

[Hall of Fame] – Lady Shiva VS the Birds of Prey!

by

One scene was still missing to cover the legendary episode completely!

Lady Shiva unmasked Batgirl and discovered her secret identity.

Now she is after a friend of Batgirl…. and finds more resistance than she expects…

And here is the video:

Damn, I love and hate this scene at the same time!

The fight choreo is again not so great, just ok.

I love that Lady Shiva gets into another fight in that sexy costume and that awesome mask!

But I hate, that she gives up like that and unmasks herself!

DAMN IT!

Would have been so awesome if Huntress had slowly damaged that mask more and more during their fights.

After some epic struggle, she would unmask Shiva by ripping her cowl completely 😉

While Shiva would desperately struggle to keep her identity a secret.

But ok… you can’t have everything.

The self-unmasking is still very sexy and interesting and shows that that cowl was secured properly…

So, as promised, the famous highlight of Birds of Prey! In a second fight, it’s Batgirl VS Lady Shiva again!

Most of you know how it ends 😉

Batgirl VS Lady Shiva – Round 1 (+Bonus clip) [Hall of Fame]

I feel ashamed that I haven’t posted about this one before.

For me, it’s absolutely “Hall of Fame” material, most of you know this one already I guess (if not……something went wrong 😉 ).

So let’s enjoy!

Batgirl confronts Lady Shiva, which (of course) ends in a fight!

Here is the video:

Wow… just an awesome scene!

Two masked women fighting each other in such costumes… in such masks…. I LOVE it!

You can read more about my thoughts on the costumes in my other post when Lady Shiva has her revenge on Batgirl (in the Hall of Fame post, link below).

The fighting itself is ok, I’m pretty sure you could easily come up with a better fight choreo… but that’s just peanuts for me here.

The unmasking here is quite bizarre. I mean Lady Shiva’s cowl gets damaged by that from the explosion? But she is totally fine and just knocked out? 😆

On the other hand, I love her crippled mask…. looks good 🙂

If you check out the segment frame by frame where Batgirl gets blasted through the air… you can actually see that her cowl just falls off.

Barely seeable at normal speed, but another demonstration of how risky it is to wear such a mask without a chin strap or other safety measures.

Great scene! 🙂

In my fantasy, she gets turned on as she finally puts on that rubber cowl after all this time! 😉

I bet she really misses her time out at night in that costume… for several reasons.

The ultimate unmasking of Batgirl – Part 1

by

Now it’s time for my favorite unmasking of Batgirl! In this post you will see the first (of 2) parts of it. (The unmasking takes place in several steps in 2 comics).

Let the unmasking of Batgirl begin!

I love the ripping of the lower part of her mask, greatly made!

But that was only half of THE unmasking of Batgirl, more will follow!

The perfect unmasking of a superheroine… in my opinion ;-)

by

It’s time for another article of my “in my opinion” -series!

You can find a lot of unmasking-related stuff on the internet. Clips, pictures, movies, TV-series, fan art…. And I have seen quite a lot I would say, but there are so few really good unmaskings. So my hunt for the perfect unmasking (or at least close to perfect) is still going on. So, what would it need to produce it?

—

1) A sexy and strong (secured) mask that really hides the secret identity: 95% of the videos I’ve seen don’t have that! They often have crappy eye-masks…they doesn’t hide anything, are unsexy (most of the time) and every child could pull it off easily. That is no fun for me!

For example: The batgirl mask in the “Birds of Prey” TV-series (can be found on the left side): It’s one of the better ones….it’s sexy, could (perhaps) even hide her secret identity. But Lady Shiva grabs it and pulls it off easily without problems. That is sooo lame! It’s a sexy scene, but could be so much better… Batgirl’s mask should give her safety and security…. Fail!

So, what is a great, perhaps perfect example for a safe and sexy mask? Batman’s mask! It hides the identity really well, is secured to his suit and it’s sexy too. (Especially the rubber version from Tim Burton Batman movies). Nobody could grab it and pull that one off without having some serious problems. Of course I know that those masks costs many bucks, but it’s a required investment in my eyes. The famous Batgirl mask from ReevzFX would be a solid (cheaper) choice. That one has at least a chin strap in comparison to the “Birds of Prey” version. And would prevent a swift “pull off” unmasking.

—

2) A hot woman/actress that actually can act (at least a little): The woman behind the mask needs to act in a proper way, when she is in danger of being unmasked, because that should be her greatest fear as a superheroine! When she is under the (right) mask, you only see her eyes and her mouth. She needs to deliver her emotions, that you believe it would be the worst thing for her…to be unmasked. When I watch many of these cheaply produced (but expensively sold) superheroine-clips…. I don’t know if I should start crying or laughing (or both) when the unmasking happens on the screen. That kills the whole atmosphere! It seems that some breast implants are the only needed qualification for a role in a flick for some producers.

—

3) A great unmasking fight/struggle: Ok, we have the first two points, the basic requirements for my perfect unmasking. Now to the toughest point! To get a great unmasking the heroine must be able to fight! If she is bound or even worse…unconcious, it’s not really sexy for me! And the struggle should take several minutes not seconds. The unmasker should need several attacks on the mask. WIth every try…the mask gets damaged a little more. For that you need a flexible, but strong material of course (therefore the rubber batman mask). The unmasker should stretch the material, ripping it, the heroine is fighting back of course. She kicks his ass several times, tries to finish him off, she is tough, strong and aggressive. But the unmasker isn’t a simple street thug, he knows what he is doing…. and the final unmasking due to the total destruction of the mask would be the dramatic climax. 😉

During the struggle they should exchange some lines about it. Like: Who is hiding behind the mask? Who are you really? Let us find out who the mighty Batgirl (or whoever) is? And the classics: “No! Don’t do it!” would be great as well. And she would express that she would kick his ass to save her secret identity…. (And the unmasker might be a woman as well)

—

Perhaps I will write a little story with Batgirl or Catwoman about it. I’m not really good at writing, but perhaps I’ll give it a try….

Now, enough written, time for some pictures… some guys helped me to get some cool picture-manipulations done, with favorite actresses of mine under the Batman mask that I would prefer.  Two of the best pics they made for me are these:

Batgirl / Batwoman VS Catwoman - Photo manipulation - Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson
Catwoman and a Batwoman / Batgirl 😉 – Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson
Batgirl / Batwoman - Photo manipulation - Scarlett Johansson
Batgirl / Batwoman – Scarlett Johansson

😉

P.S.: Of course the rest of the outfit except the mask is really important as well. For me a (more or less professional made) suit would be great! Such as the one in Birds of Prey, or in some of the great cosplays by fans.
