Line 43:
* In ''Dark Passage'', the entire first act is done from [[POV Cam|the POV of the main character]] and we're not shown his face. Then he has plastic surgery, and when the bandages come off we see it's now [[Humphrey Bogart]].
* In the video game ''[[Splinter Cell]]: Conviction'', Sam Fisher (who is on the run after the events of ''Double Agent'') starts the game wearing a dressed-down ensemble and his standard gun, which is a far cry from the iconic infiltration suit getup her wore in the first three games. Over the course of ''Conviction'', though, you'll eventually revert back to your original getup by obtaining several key pieces of equipment (including your signature gun and trademark goggles).
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' novels, Death Eaters wear masks when attacking, though the main characters can sometimes guess who's behind the mask by their voice. In [[Harry Potter (film)|the movieverse]], the Death Eaters are played by good-looking actors with vocal fanbases so of course they are always whipping off their masks, even though the whole point of disguising themselves is so they can get away with their criminal behaviour.
* In the rather strange and critically-panned film adaptation of ''[[The Spirit]]'', we see plenty of Samuel Jackson's face in his role as The Octopus. In the comics, The Octopus' face was never, ever shown.
* Justified in ''[[Green Lantern (film)|Green Lantern]]'', where Hal Jordan's domino mask explicitly only appears when he's trying to hide his identity. (Hilariously, in one scene where he ''does'' try and hide it from his love interest, it fails spectacularly as she quickly sees through the act.)
