[edit] The Mask Returns

Why isn't The Mask Returns even mentioned on this page? It's one of the Mask series that was popular enough to get collected into a TPB.

[edit] Superhero

The Mask wasn't a superhero comic, that was just the cartoon show. Why's Big Head in the Superhero category? User:Ash Loomis

[edit] Photo request

Preferably a photo of the comic, and possibly a screenshot of the animated series.

I'm going to be working on this page. I think it needs to be organized more properly. Also this page puts too much mention on the movies when it's supposed to be about the comic. The movies have their own pages. Next project for me on this page is to break down the comic plot summaries into heading off each comic mini-series.Danleary25 01:51, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm finished with what I set out to do on this page. Hope it works. Some of the late series(ie Toys in the Attic, World Tour, etc.) don't have very good plot descriptions because I myself never did read them. Maybe others who have can add better descriptions.Danleary25 02:17, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure who moved Joker/Mask from the canon ongoing series to specials and crossovers. Their addition of The canon of this book is debatable. It may very well be its own canon, as elements from the Batman comics, Batman: The Animated Series", the original Mask titles and the animated Mask series are meshed together. doesn't seem accurate to me from just those words.

What elements from BTAS were there? If this person means Harley Quinn she had been added to the mainstream DC Universe a couple years before. And Kellaway finally finds the Mask as he had been hunting through the series proper since The Mask Returns. Plus Ipkiss is dead, as he had been for years. Stylistically Joker/Mask takes a cartoon-LIKE look reminiscent of BTAS and MTAS but all story elements remain in line with proper canon Mask comics. There are continuity flaws to be sure, as in all comics which switch writers over the course of years. And yes, Ipkiss is seen buried in the yellow suit, but this was just a nod to the Hollywood Mask and not a continuity flaw... in fact we don't know what Big Head Ipkiss was buried in.Danleary25 02:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The animated series - a failure?

The show's inability to take anything seriously likely led to its failure, especially in the era where Batman: The Animated Series was taking cartoons seriously.

I can't really see why this show should be seen as a failure. I mean, it ran for 3 seasons and 2 years - I think that's pretty good for a cartoon series. --Mégara (Мегъра) - D. Mavrov 18:42, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
