How well do masks protect one's identity?

[frostedone]

In comics a simple mask that covers your eyes can protect your identity.

How would that work out in real life?

Below are 3 really crappy Photoshops of celebrities. If you can name them, then the mask fails. It should be fairly easy. If no one gets them then I will just say who it is. Have fun.

First one is Nightwings mask.

Green Lantern's mask.

Mouse over here to read who I think these folks are:
Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise- in all fairness these are still, clear shots of the world's most famous people. Batman's photographs are bound to always be blurry. And Bruce Wayne, while famous in the DCU, is not as famous as Angelina's lucky husband.

Not as famous as Bradd Pitt? If a man that looked like Christian Bale was the richest person on the planet, or even the country, I'm sure he'd be plenty famous enough.

However, the Batman cowl still does a great job at concealing the identity.

Batman's also clean shaven and his cowl has lenses, so you can't tell his eye and hair color. That said, I don't recognize "Batman" even as it is.

Nightwing was Brad Pitt.

Green Lantern was Ben Stiller.

Batman was Tom Cruise.

Good job LewMoxinsghost.

Also he probably is as famous as Bruce Wayne would be.
