Batgirl rips her own mask! [Masks off! #45]

As I checked some new comics I stumbled upon this one.

Don’t really like the art style, but one panel is really interesting 🙂

I really love this full-face Batgirl mask that Cassandra Cain is wearing.

It’s a modified cowl version where the previous openings have been “closed”.

This version is a perfect disguise and leaves a LOT of opportunities for mask damage 🙂

Spoiler here got kidnapped by her own crazy father and sadly that unmasking isn’t shown…. damn!

But luckily Batgirl arrives so we get some nice action.

I love how she rips open her own mask as she rips out the piece over her mouth/lower face!

She is still masked very well so that the crazy guy can’t see enough of her face.

What is quite weird and interesting is that Batgirl’s mask is suddenly complete again as they are leaving!?!

So, what has happened? Did she pull out a reserve mask? And if yes… why?

Or did she stitch the mask back together in a hurry? 😆

Pretty sure that is more of a continuation error here of the artist, but don’t know for sure.

A good little scene as you don’t see many scenes where a masked heroine is damaging her own mask!

Quite a shocker at first that Spoiler gets killed, but conveniently Batgirl has a Lazarus serum.

Gotham Knights: Casting news #2

More casting news from “Gotham Knights” the possible new CW show (so far only a pilot was greenlighted)!

And this time maybe the most interesting role was cast 🙂

I am talking about Stephanie Brown/Spoiler!

And who got the role?

29-year-old actress Anne Lore!

I was checking on social media and the first image I saw was this one:

Yeah, I can totally imagine her as Stephanie Brown/Spoiler!

The funny thing is… the next picture I saw of her…..and this was used in a twitter news post…was this one:

Well, I don’t know how anyone would use this picture to announce her as the new Stephanie Brown/Spoiler! 😆

I mean, that haircut, the clothes, the hat…… well…. doesn’t exactly… look flattering to her (or anyone).

Glad I didn’t see that as the first impression of her 😉

You can see much more of her here:

And here you can see her talking about how happy she is about the news:

 

I haven’t seen her so far, but this will change this year.

More info on her casting can be found here:

http://www.gothamsite.net/gotham-knights-casts-a-new-spoiler/

Well, I am VERY much looking forward to seeing how her role will be in the pilot and then (hopefully) later on in the show!

Of course, I am very excited about her getting into her costume to do so crime-fighting!

As I mentioned before…. I would love to see her in the full-face Spoiler mask, but I would bet a LOT against it, they won’t do that.

But if they would at least have the ninja-type half mask in a nice material…I would already be very happy!

Gotham Knights: Casting news #1

Time to post about some news regarding the “Gotham Knights” TV show!

So far, just a pilot was ordered by the CW which will be filmed next month. But finally, we are getting some casting news.

Fallon Smythe and Tyler DiChiara are playing Harper Row and Cullen Row.

Harper Row is sometimes also Bluebird in the comics:

So, I hope she will appear in a mask and costume in the show as well! 😉

More details on these two characters:

https://www.ksitetv.com/gotham-knights/fallon-smythe-and-tyler-dichiara-are-the-cws-first-gotham-knights/226070/

 

Three more characters have been cast!

Duela, Carrie Kelley, and Turner Hayes will be played by Olivia Rose Keegan, Navia Robinson, and Oscar Morgan (left to right)

 

And Carrie Kelley is in the comics a sidekick of Batman and is wearing big, colored glasses…I guess as a disguise…but well, it’s certainly not a mask for me:

More details on these characters:

https://www.ksitetv.com/gotham-knights/gotham-knights-adds-3-more-cast-including-carrie-kelley/226238/

Honestly, I didn’t know any of these actors until now, but looking forward to seeing what they can bring to the screen!

There are also rumors that Stephanie Brown will be in the show as well….and she is the heroine “Spoiler” in the comics (mostly)!

It would be SO great if she would be in the show! I especially love the full-face version of her mask…. but I think the chances they would use such a mask are verrrrry slim.

But the ninja-style mask is very interesting as well for me.

And the show has a LOT of potential for even more masked women in it! I mean perhaps even Batgirl could be in it!

But as they are making that Batgirl movie, I doubt that she also will appear in this TV show 🙁

I am looking forward to reading and seeing much more about this show as the potential is really BIG!

And my hope is that this show will get a green light for a season order and then season 4 of Batwoman will also be aired in the fall later in the year! That would be perfect!

In the worst case, this show wouldn’t get a season order and Batwoman would be canceled…. that would be quite a disaster for me.

Well, hope for more news soon!

 

Batwoman….spoiler(s)!

[Post 1 of 2 for today]

I wasn’t sure if and how I should post about this, but I finally made up my mind. 😉

Last week’s Batwoman episode ended with a big cliffhanger, but days later some set pictures were posted that incl. a major spoiler for the Batwoman finale of this season.

I don’t wanna post the picture here as you then would have no chance not to see them….in case you don’t wanna be spoilered.

So, I just leave a link here. It’s totally up to you if you click on it or not, think about it!

In case you wanna know more:

There was also a picture posted by a cast member that incl. a …medium….spoiler. This picture was quickly deleted afterward.

So, I rather don’t link a tweet about it here. Even the spoiler is rather harmless.

17 great comic COVERS! [Batgirl, Catwoman, Spoiler, Spider-girl]

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.

Masks off! #8 – Batgirl unmasked by Scarecrow! – Part 2

And now the 2nd part! Batgirl’s mask is badly ripped, what will happen to her? Will the Scarecrow bring her down? Perhaps even expose her secret identity?

(click to enlarge)

A well made fight in my eyes. But I don’t get why Scarecrow didn’t make anything out of the situation…her mask was ripped, he can see her face…why didn’t he take advantage of it?

But however…really good unmasking stuff!

Masks off! #7 – Batgirl unmasked by Scarecrow! – Part 1

In this episode of “Masks off!” Batgirl (Stephanie Brown) tracks down the Scarecrow! But she gets drugged and (nearly completely) unmasked!

(click to enlarge)

What will happen to our mighty heroine? Can she escape? Can she beat Scarecrow? Is her secret identity ruined? You will get the answers in part 2 …. 😉

My opinion: Her ripped mask is really sexy…

Masks off! #4 – Batgirl, Catwoman, Spider-girl and Spoiler unmasked!

…or on the road to it.

In this issue of “Masks off!”  it’s all about comic covers. Comic covers with some mask action to be precise 😉

(click to enlarge)

Some great art, if you ask me! Especially the spoiler and spider-girl covers are great… Your opinion?

(The catwoman pic is actually a preview cover for the issue, not the cover itself)

Masks off! #2 – Spoiler unmasked!

And now, already a new episode of “Masks off!”.

This time Robin follows a criminal element (as he thinks) and is suprised to find something unexpected under the Mask!
