a great mystery

Post by Jason von Evil »

And that is...how the fuck does Robins mask stay on his face? I swear to god, I've been wrestling with that question for close to 15 years. I've sort of guessed that it's some sort of adhesive, which would have to be water resistent, considering the Robins have been submerged before. Any clues what exactly keeps the mask on?

It's not a mask, he draws it on with Waterproof Crayons every night. :D

Yep, it's the same stuff Alice Cooper uses. :D


I think you can get it off with noxema or something like that.

Actually, isn't this subject covered in a segment of Under the Hood by Hollis Mason?

Yep. Nite-Owl started using spirit gum to glue his mask onto his face after a criminal got his original strapped-on one all turned around so he couldn't see during a fight.

Why not just put a simple strap on it to put around his head. :?

Because if he got punched in the face his mask could slide over his eyes and he'd be in a bind.
