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

it remains open whether Ipkiss was killed because he was a serial killer or simply died. The Joker mask I would not take as a benchmark - he was already bad. Pity that the batman mask is not up ... —Preceding

Nothing is open about whether or not Ipkiss was killed. Just as Ash Loomis says he died in the very earliest Mask stories. 68.81.164.178 ( talk) 02:41, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
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)
Way dos it say hes a Serial Killer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Samurai Cerberus ( talk • contribs) 18:36, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Because he's a serial killer in the comic books. The movie and the cartoons took that aspect out. But if you go back and read the comics, you'll see what I mean. Ash Loomis ( talk) 04:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
So hes a bad guy? Smurai Cerberus 00:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
I have nominated the above two for deletion because I think they are not significant enough to have their own articles. See the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dorian Tyrell (3nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Niko (The Mask). Input is appreciated.

Why is there barely an info on the Masque incarnation? I think for the sake of emencement for the article, we should include a brief history of who and what that character was. Sarujo ( talk) 16:53, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
im not a regular here but i did read the comics unlike the person who wrote the part about Ray Tuttle, look it up and fix it, you got the wrong info— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a05:4f44:b1a:8700:4942:b380:962:b42 ( talk • contribs) 01:23, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: pages moved. There is no consensus primary topic; default is disambiguation. Over the course of disambiguating I changed some links to the film, and others to the franchise. Many links are intended for an article about the character; these still redirect to the comics article. – wbm1058 ( talk) 12:20, 6 March 2022 (UTC)
– Pageviews show that The Mask (1994 film) gets on average at least three times as many pageviews of the comic series. That means the comics, despite inspiring the film and other media, are not the primary topic. In fact, the comics' pageviews are probably inflated because of readers searching for the film and ending up on the wrong page. I would not be opposed to making the film primary, but moving the disambiguation page to the base title is probably the safest approach for now. (I'm not sure if The Mask (comics) could be confused with Mask (DC Comics), but the latter seems a relatively obscure topic and a hatnote would suffice to deal with this, if necessary at all.)

Post-relisting comment: There is consensus for moving The Mask to The Mask (comics). I'll move that page and do post-move cleanup, while discussion over The Mask (franchise) vs. The Mask (disambiguation) continues. I view the franchise article as a form of WP:Broad-concept article, though media franchises is not listed as one of the common examples. That article currently populates Category:Comedy film franchises though, rather than the broader Category:Mass media franchises which would include both the film and comics franchises. There is precedent for a franchise to be primary over its namesake film, e.g. Despicable Me and Spy Kids, but more commonly the leading film of the franchise is primary. – wbm1058 ( talk) 13:01, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
- Post-comment comment. Template:The Mask still makes the comics primary. I'll leave it for others to boldly adjust as they feel appropriate. Perhaps the "franchise" should be expanded to include the comics? wbm1058 ( talk) 13:16, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
