I just noticed this, then he quickly pull it back down


Great post eledpremassis02.  I've honestly never noticed that before.  Storywise, it doesn't matter since it's clear Vicki Vale did help out Bruce by distracting the goons long enough, but still, it's an interesting observation.  Maybe that's how Vale worked out Bruce's identity.  Not that she didn't have countless other clues to go on.
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

Yeah, and you can still see the black circles on the eyes

Yeah, I started to notice this detail when it first came out on DVD. As you notice, Vicki managed to snap a picture of Batman without the mask. This was followed through more in Hamm's original script.

Yea, it isnt too easy to spot on VHS lol. You can see it..if you know its there.


Was this really a mystery?  It's why he takes the film from her.

I think we're more surprised that you could see it in the film. We knew they unmasked him in the narrative, but it's new to us that he was actually lying there unmasked in the scene.

Yes.

You'd have to be from Mars to think otherwise. Oh, wait...

It's one of those things I'd always noticed.

What I didn't get, until the other day, is that there are constant white flashes during that fight scene.  It's Vicki taking photos the entire time.
