** This was also done shockingly well in ''ComicBook/BatmanAndRobin2009'' with the character of Oberon Sexton, who we are led to believe is an English best-selling crime author/detective, who assists the Dynamic Duo. Damien suspects Oberon is faking his accent and believes he is [[spoiler:Bruce]], but he denies this, and Dick confirms this. It turns out he is [[spoiler:The Joker]]. Yeah, let that sink in for a while.

** Finally, the very existence of the masks often causes the same paranoia mentioned in the ''Swallowing the Earth'' entry above. After all, how do you know that the [[TheDreaded rightly feared]] [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Assassin With a Thousand Faces]] (one of Diabolik's ''many'' terrifying nicknames) isn't right behind you wondering if your death would be useful for his next caper?

* The 1947 Creator/RepublicPictures FilmSerial ''The Black Widow'' (a.k.a ''Sombra, the Spider Woman'') is probably one of the oldest live-action examples. [[DragonLady Sombra]] is a MasterOfDisguise and uses latex masks and wigs to impersonate various female characters in order to steal the MacGuffin.



* ''Film/{{Fantomas}}'' did it back in 1964, being probably one of the oldest live-action examples. It consisted of the titular MasterOfDisguise villain always wearing a bald, bluish latex mask to conceal his true identity. He would often wear ''other'' latex masks over it when committing crimes. At other times he would peel off his bluish latex mask to reveal his new impersonation (then [[MultilayerFacade later on remove that one to reveal his bluish mask again...]])
