For the folks who requested it and for those who haven’t seen it at all: Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) get into a fight on a boat with a criminal named Gil. He manages to wrestle her down and reaches for her mask….
And here is the video:
…he grabs under the fabric…pulls it, stretching it….and her mask goes off! He even recognize her as Barbara Gordon….D’Oh! (as Homer would say)
😉
Great scene in my eyes! One of the best unmaskings….
I always wondered how Batgirl (or any other masked superheroine) would react if someone (evil) would unmask her?
The Situation: Batgirl fights with a villain. With some dirty tricks he manages to unmask her! He says that he recognize her as Barbara Gordon…but after the shock she somehow gains the upper hand and beat the villain unconscious. But what now? He knows who she is, he could figure out names and addresses of friends and family. Everyone she knows would be in real danger. She could let him be arrested, but he could talk to some people (police and inmates) and her secret would be no more… She could leave Gotham City, quit crime fighting, but that wouldn’t help much either (friends & family would stay). And the villain would use his knowledge of her secret identity to hurt her. And there is no fancy, crazy gadget available to erase his memory or something like that….
I would say I’m a pragmatic man, the only available solution to me would be: Kill the villain! I know that members of the Bat family don’t “normally” do that. But, she doesn’t have another choice in my eyes. She must protect herself and her friends and family. And she saves civilians with her crime fighting. That kill would save many lives in the future.,,,
What about you folks? Do you see other options, that she could have? Let the discussion begin! 😉
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…
Another issue of “Masks off”! This time Catwoman sneaks into a warehouse to steal some jewels. But it’s a TRAP! Gas fills the room…she wakes up…blinded by a lightflash. Someone is taking pictures of her….unmasked!
Great stuff, but would have been even better with her awake during the unmasking (and it should have been shown).
From the really great “Batman – Terror” story that was published in the Legends of the Dark Knight.
Not it’s time for some Spider-women! Different models and costumes….

Batwoman chases the Riddler. She manages to stop him, but he takes advantage of the situation and reaches for her mask…
…her defense is down and the Riddler manages to rip her mask off in front of some reporters! Her secret identity is exposed…
The ulitmate nightmare for every masked hero!
From the series: “Batman: The Brave and the Bold”
Episode: Crisscross conspiracy

Another issue of “Masks off”! This time it’s Catwoman, who – dressed up as a maid – sneaks into a mansion to spy a little. Under her maid uniform she is suited with her catsuit. Of course her cat mask isn’t in place so she may get into some trouble if someone discovers her catsuit…
Great art by Jim Balent 🙂
Comic: Catwoman 022 (the old series – 1995)
…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 😉
Some great art, if you ask me! Especially the spoiler and spider-girl covers are great… Your opinion?
