[edit] Movie appearance?
Batman-On-Film reports that Black Mask will be in the Batman Begins sequel. His character will reportedly be slightly altered to be a "dark mirror" of Bruce Wayne.
[edit] Black Mask vs. Red Skull
When I first saw the picture of Black Mask, I noticed an uncanny physical resemblence to Marvel's Red Skull character. Was this intentionally made?
It's probably just coincidence. He actually looked quite different early on. It's only since No Man's Land that they've really emphasized the 'Skull' aspect of his face. SMegatron 10:48, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
It was a retcon/artist changing the character's appearance on the fly; in his previous appearances in the 1990s, when the character appeared post-disfigurement, the character's face was simply horribly burnt. Also, the character was, for lack of a better term, fat and since no-man's land the character has been portrayed as being quite thin looking. BakerBaker
[edit] Not another medium, another continuity
In other media Black Mask is spotlighted in Batman Adventures #5-8. Criminals in his employ are:
Hey, a comic book based on a tv cartoon is still a comic book.

[edit] Under the hood
Should a picture of Black mask as he appeared in "Under the Hood" be included in this article, as to depict how different artists depict his disfigurement?
[edit] other media
Black Mask's history seems to be the inspiration for the Joker's plan in the first Tim Burton Batman movie, even down to the disfigurement of his suicidal masked lover.
It also seems to be the inspiration for the general plot of the Catwoman movie, with the evil boss of a cosmetics company launching an extremely harmfull product, and again, having the boss's wife as a successfull model. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.0.246.41 (talk • contribs) at 03:43, July 31, 2006 (UTC)
You know, I'd argue coincidence, but you make good points, GIPU. Perhaps a few more mentions should be made to Mr. Mask. ACS (Wikipedian); Talk to the Ace. See what I've edited. 18:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] =A note
Appearances in a book based on a TV show are not appearances in another medium. A book based on a TV show is not a TV show.

- True. On the other hand, I can see what the contributer meant; Batman Adventures takes place in the "world" of the animated series, not in the DCU.
- Incidentally, was a member of the Adventures False Face Society really called the Red Skull? And if so, how close was he to the Marvel version? Daibhid C 15:10, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
