Ukranian steampunk/fetish leathercrafters Bob Basset have taken a crack at golden age comics with this 1920s "Batman" mask.

Batman mask as it could be in 1920

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    She already beat Batman to the leather mask idea

    “Alfred” is the safety word.

      No, I think that’s the word which alerts the “butler” to join in.

        Let’s not ask what “Robin” stands for.

    I sometimes think Cory must throw fantastic parties, I soon expect a full leather Mickey Mouse fetish mask with a Pluto Dog Collar and leash—just don’t eat the bananas.

      “Just don’t eat the bananas.”
      Right, just look at them.

  • bo_burger

    errr…that’d be 1930s Batman. (Batman was created in 1939)

    • Smash Martian

      Must be Kaiser Bill’s Batman then.

      • Rich Keller

        Nein… Wilhelm II abdicated in 1918. It could be a Big Daddy mask for a re-imagining of Kick-Ass set during the Prohibition Era, which sounds pretty cool, now that I think about it.
