Now let's see who this "ghost" really is. (takes mask off, gasps) It's Old Man Describe Dramatic Unmask Reveal Here!
When a masked character takes off his mask, revealing his identity to a shocked character and audience.
When The Hero decides to invoke the Dramatic Unmask it can be the moment they finally chose to reveal their secret identity to an ally or love interest. A gesture of trust that understandably means a lot within crimefighting circles. Their enemies will often attempt to unmask them in the hopes of making them more vulnerable by endangering not only their life but that of the hero's loved ones. Exposing a hero can also have the added benefit of having the authorities attempting to incarcerate them. After all, they are vigilantes.
In the case of the villain the big reveal may be the final part of their plan. An old face come to haunt the hero from the past or worse someone they trusted. Expect villainous characters to be especially smug if this is a complete surprise to their opponent. When the villain desires to hide behind anonymity, expect the protagonist to be the one to go about unmasking him, sometimes at any cost, so that justice is served.
Across media there is a tendency to conveniently overlook why an individual isn't unmasked when he or she's at the mercy of their foe earlier in the story. This is more commonly seen with villains, who despite having the time to put their unconscious victim into an elaborate Death Trap, don't take a moment to remove a mask. Justified in that it's done for the sake of preserving drama and most audiences will let it slide to prolong the guessing game. In some cases the rivals will even lampshade their desire not to learn the others identity as it would reduce their Arch-Enemy to being a normal person rather than their larger than life alter-ego. Although in some stories this is precisely why they want to unmask their nemesis.
Often occurs along with Luke, I Am Your Father or Samus Is a Girl. Can include Bandaged Face or Latex Perfection. Relative of Dramatic Curtain Toss, a subtrope of The Reveal. Contrast with Anti-Climactic Unmasking, where the unmasked party isn't recognized by the other characters, and Stranger Behind the Mask, where they aren't recognized by the audience. Secret Identity Apathy is the aversion. Or it might turn out to be Not a Mask. For an extra terrifying twist, there may be No Face Under the Mask!
As this is a form of The Reveal, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

This trope also showed up in one of the actual Planet of the Apes movies: Escape from the Planet of the Apes. In the opening scene, a US military base scrambles to respond when a space shuttle unexpectedly plummets into the Pacific Ocean, along the California coast. At the scene, the soldiers find three figures in space suits emerging from the capsule. They remove their helmets and reveal themselves as... chimpanzees. Specifically, Doctors Zira and Cornelius, major chimp characters from the previous films, along with a new character, Doctor Milo.

The Saga of Arrow-Odd: As king of Greece, Odd vows that he will find out the true identity of the mysterious King Quillanus of Novgorod, a great conqueror who always wears a mask. Odd lands an army in Russia and challenges Quillanus to a tournament. After three days of indecisive jousting, both agree that they are equally strong, and Quillanus suggests they make peace with each other. Odd wants to accept on the condition that Quillanus reveals his true identity to him. Quillanus takes off his mask, revealing the scarred face of Odd's arch-enemy Ogmund Eythjofslayer.

Although, in the 2004 adaptation, many people found the unmasking during "The Point of No Return" more Narm than drama thanks to the Phantom looking like he has a slightly bloated face instead of the horrific disfigurement he acts like he has.

X-Men: Early in House and Powers of X, especially in House of X and the Year X1 sequences of Powers of X, Professor X's face is hidden from the readers' view, as everything above his nose is hidden behind his Cerebro helmet. This lasts until issue #4 of Hickman's main X-Men (2019) series, in which Xavier takes Cerebro off in front of an economic assembly, and the panels gradually focus on his eyes, showing that, while the Year X0 scenes in Powers of X (depicting scenes set in the past) showed him with brown eyes, he now has blue eyes.note Prior to Hickman's takeover of the franchise, Xavier came Back from the Dead in Fantomex's body, and this development may relate to that.

All three intruders get one by the end of Masquerade (2021):
Rose is arguably the least dramatic, since the viewer already knows who she is. Or at least they think they do. However, it's Daniel's reaction that sets the final act reveal in motion.
The female intruder unmasks herself to gain Casey's trust. More of an emotional impact example as she's not someone we've seen unmasked previously. The woman — played by Skyler Samuels — is never named in the movie itself or the credits.
Most dramatic of all is the male intruder, revealed to be a younger Daniel from an art heist that occurred many years previously.

Danny manages to corner one of them outside, and rips off the guy's mask, revealing it to be Cole Miller, a street kid from Harlem that Misty Knight has tasked Luke with keeping an eye on. Moments later, Luke shows up, having followed Cole's crew after seeing them getting into a work van elsewhere in Harlem, and gets into a fight with Danny.

Fire Emblem:
Actually inverted in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, where a maskless Volke reveals his true identity as an assassin-for-hire in the employ of Ike's late father Greil before putting on a mask as his class changes.
Played with in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. The Black Knight removes his helmet at the beginning of "Rebirth Part 2", but Ranulf had already rather anti-climatically revealed him to be Zelgius several chapters beforehand.

Justice League of America:
This is the emotional climax of JLA Year One. The newly-formed League is struggling with confusion and mistrust; disheartened, they start to turn away from each other... and Flash pulls off his cowl and announces his name. After a beat, the others follow suit.
Also used in JLA: Tower of Babel, in what is essentially Mark Waid riffing on his own earlier storyline a generation later. In Year One, the breakdown in trust is caused by Martian Manhunter making contingency plans against every super on the planet and an enemy making use of them; in Tower of Babel, the same thing happens with Batman's countermeasures. Batman leaves the League in the aftermath, but later rejoins after allowing everyone into the Batcave with all the computer files unlocked, and revealing himself as Bruce Wayne. While everyone is pretty gobsmacked at that, it's nothing to the reactions when Clark Kent introduces himself — most of the younger League didn't realize that Superman even had a secret identity.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:
In the "Vampire Killer" trailer, right after Luigi gets his soul taken out of his body by The Grim Reaper, said Reaper gets slammed in the jaw by a chain whip wielded by a hooded figure seen earlier entering the Haunted Castle where this all took place. The figure dramatically pulls off the hood to reveal Simon Belmont as a new Guest Fighter.
In the "Clash of Flames" trailer, Ken Masters is portrayed in a boxing match against Little Mac as the eyes of a mysterious onlooker are seen from the shadows of the entrance hall. Once Ken revels in his victory against Mac, the onlooker suddenly jumps into the ring wearing a hooded boxer's robe. The new challenger burns away the robe to reveal Incineroar as the final new fighter of the base game.

A particularly chilling version of this happens at the end of season four of Gotham. Throughout most of the series, the writers seem to be setting up Jerome Valeska to become the future Joker, while setting up his identical twin brother, Jeremiah (who was introduced later) as his good counterpart. After dying for a second time, it appears that Jerome either left a lot of posthumous recorded messages for both his enemies and his followers, or he has actually come back from the dead again, and is just messing with people. However, then he begins to peel off prosthetic scars during one of the recordings, revealing that the Jerome in the recordings is actually Jeremiah wearing make-up, that he is the one sending the supposedly posthumous messages, that he has been using them to manipulate Jerome's former followers and enemies, and that Jerome has actually been Killed Off for Real this time. Jerome just made sure to drive his brother insane with his insanity toxin before he died, turning Jeremiah into the show's true take on the Joker.

Later in the final scene of the next episode, "Trust And Blood", a recaptured Tracy is black-hooded again, kept in a van before Nathan unmasks her. Unfortunately for Tracy, she is re-drugged and is black-bagged again as Nathan walks away in the final shot.

As of this episode, it's become pretty apparent to everyone including themselves that they have some sexual tension, leading to Hawkgirl letting John remove her helmet, revealing that she's hot, and the episode closes with them making out.
In "Starcrossed", the League has to disguise themselves as regular citizens. Flash is reluctant to reveal his secret identity but is cut off by Batman.
Also from "Starcrossed", Hro Talak removes his helmet during an argument with Hawkgirl about sacrificing the Earth to defeat the Gordanians, revealing a nasty scar he got from the war.
Question lets Huntress do this to him in the climax of the Cadmus arc and he refers back to the time she guessed he was ugly back when they first met. We've seen him unmasked before, so this is an Internal Reveal, and he's also not bad-looking for guy who just got tortured.

Star Trek: Picard. Jean Luc Picard, posing as a black market organ trader, pretends to have caught Seven of Nine and twice hams up the Dramatic Unmask when he pulls the black hood off her head. It's a dramatic unmask In-Universe as well, as it turns out the organ trader he's selling her to is a prior acquaintance of Seven.

Robin in Teen Titans Go! is unmasked by his teammates ... to reveal another identical mask beneath it. And another beneath that, and so on. In this case it's not that just that he doesn't want them to know who he is, but that he's "too handsome", which he proves by finally removing the mask himself. In actuality, the "handsome" face is yet another mask, and under it ... and under still another domino mask ... is Robin's true face, which has a parasitic twin in place of one of his eyes.

The Strangers pull this trope off in a different way. When they have the two lead characters tied to chairs, the Serial Killer trio take off their masks. Their faces are never clearly shown to the viewer. This is because they know that the couple won't be alive to tell anyone.

The Flash: In the Story Arc The Trial of the Flash, Barry Allen's lawyer, having guessed who he is, decides this would be a huge mitigating factor; no jury will convict a man for saving his bride-to-be from his first wife's murderer. So she unmasks him in open court — to reveal a face we've never seen before. The explanation? Barry recently took severe facial damage in a fight and was fixed up by his friend Solovar in Gorilla City. At that time he asked for a favour, and now we know what it was: instead of repairing his old face, he had Solovar make him a new one, right down to the hair color. (Barry's life was a mess at this point, and he intended to start a new one after the trial.) This wrecks his lawyer's plan, but Barry is ultimately acquitted anyway, and he gets his old face back in time for his big Heroic Sacrifice in the Crisis.

RWBY:
At the end of the Volume 2 episode "Breach", the mysterious samurai who saved Yang the previous episode takes off her mask to reveal herself as Raven Branwen, who greatly resembles her daughter Yang Xiao Long.
Throughout the series, Adam Taurus has always worn a Grimm-like visor over his eyes. The few times he hasn't worn the visor, his eyes were always off-camera. In Volume 6 Chapter 11, he finally shows that while he has normal blue eyes, the left has been damaged by a brand shaped like "SDC" and is clearly not functioning.

Daredevil (2003)
Elektra wrongly believes that Daredevil killed her father, and refuses to believe otherwise until after she stabs him with a sai and then rips off his mask to discover he's her boyfriend.
Kingpin unmasks Matt Murdock during the final battle and is rather amused to find he's the "blind lawyer" he met earlier. After Matt gets the better of Kingpin but refuses to kill him, Kingpin threatens to reveal his Secret Identity to the world, only for Matt to point out that it would seriously harm his Villain Cred to admit that he had been "beaten by a blind man."

The Dark Knight Rises:
Bane's Red Right Hand is his mask, so this trope is fulfilled by having him introduced as a bound and hooded prisoner. When the CIA agent realizes his prisoner is a lot more important than some faceless goon, he takes off the hood to reveal Bane, breathing mask and all.
Bane unmasking Batman as Bruce Wayne in their first fight. Unlike normal variants, he does this verbally by saying, "Let's not stand on ceremony here.... Mr. Wayne."

Power Rangers does this for a lot of Sixth Rangers. A particularly memorable one is the White Ranger from the second season, who turns out to be Tommy. It's also quite dramatic when a Ranger is forced to unmask (or re-mask) and reveal his or her identity to a friend or family member who has been outside the loop thus far. Particularly memorable is Wes's cracked helmet revealing his identity to his father and Eric.

In the made-for-HBO film Blackout (1985), Chris knocks her leather-mask-wearing attacker unconscious, and takes the opportunity to remove his mask. The film shows us her horrified reaction before it shows us his face, because it’s the most terrible possible outcome. It’s not Steiner, or Mike Patterson, or any unknown assailant: it’s her own husband Allen Devlin; her (and our) worst fears have come true after all.

Luke Cage: After Cottonmouth tries to kill Luke by blowing up Genghis Connie's with a rocket launcher, Luke manages to free himself from the rubble unscathed. As he's walking away, with his hoodie up, he's accosted by a bunch of reporters who ask him for his name. After a few seconds, Luke turns around, takes off his hood, and says "My name is Luke Cage". This ends up driving Cottonmouth to more desperate measures to recuperate his losses, and Luke to end up in the crosshairs of his half-brother Diamondback.
As touched on by Method Man after Luke encounters him in a convenience store, Luke’s willingness to reveal his private identity breaks the superhero sacrament of keeping one’s private identity hidden. This reveal is particularly important as Luke is the premier black superhero.

Ultimate Marvel:
Ultimate Galactus Trilogy: Inverted. The audience has already seen that the scientist Phil Lawson is actually an alien with an armor. When he was captured and took it off (something that SHIELD couldn't figure out how to do themselves, being alien tech), Carol Danvers was taken by surprise. But then, she realized it's not that Phil Lawson is an alien, it's that there is no "Phil Lawson". Phil Lawson is the mask, it has always been an alien infiltrating them as a scientist.
Subverting this is a Running Gag in Ultimate Spider-Man. Peter Parker gets dramatically unmasked frequently, but no one ever has any idea who he is, since he's just some high school student.

The Phantom of the Opera, especially the silent film.
Although, in the 2004 adaptation, many people found the unmasking during "The Point of No Return" more Narm than drama thanks to the Phantom looking like he has a slightly bloated face instead of the horrific disfigurement he acts like he has.
The Musical has Christine unmasking him twice, but only once can the audience see.
In the UK tour celebrating the show's 25th anniversary, she only does it once. The first time she sees him unmasked, he's removed it himself with his back to her and she pulls him to face her.

When Mr. Big captures Bond and tries to interrogate him, Bond stalls for time by saying he'll only talk to Kananga himself.

Can potentially happen in Saints Row: The Third. At the climax of the boss-fight against Killbane, The Boss has the option to rip his mask off and reveal his face to the world. Killbane isn't secretly someone who'd be recognized, but he is a Masked Luchador who regards having his mask removed in public as the ultimate shame. Under it, he's just a middle-aged white guy.

My Monster Secret actually does this twice, with the mysterious Box Girl:
The first time this trope is subverted: Akane confronts the Box Girl on the school roof with a claim that she's discovered her identity. The Box Girl reveals her face (offscreen), and Akane does an epic Face Palm as she realizes that her guess was totally wrong.
The second time is played straight, with the Box Girl removing her mask to reveal to Aizawa and Asahi that she's Aizawa from ten years in the future.

Both subverted and played straight in Spider-Man 2. While saving a train full of people, the lenses on Peter's mask are damaged and he rips the whole thing off to see better. Later, when he's recovering with the help of the people he saved, it's not dramatic because no one recognizes him, and they give him his mask back in gratitude. He's got it back on by the time Ock shows up to recapture Peter, and then the straight variant happens as Ock delivers Peter to Harry Osborn, who rips the mask off and does recognize him.

Spider-Man: The Animated Series had something similar to the comics situation, where Doc Ock unmasks Peter. However, this was during the Neogenic Nightmare arc and his powers were on the fritz. As such, when Ock saw his former student's face, that was the thing that confirmed for him this person couldn't really be Spider-Man: It's just Peter, no wonder he was so easy to capture instead of leaping around and running on walls while quipping!

The Shyguy victory animation from Mario Power Tennis actually shows him walking up to the podium where Luigi will give him his trophy, but he trips on the last step before the top, causing his mask to fall off. Luigi sees the Shyguy's face (but the player doesn't) and is freaked out before the Shyguy puts his mask back on and takes his trophy. This was also reused in Mario Strikers Charged Football.

The last episode of Batman Beyond had Terry pull off his mask during a rescue attempt in order to convince a kid that it was okay to trust him. Bruce is understandably livid, explaining that because: a) the kid knows what Terry looks like and b) he said he saw Batman's face when he was interviewed afterwards, every villain in the city will be after him for that information. It gets subverted when, subjected to a mental probe, the kid has already replaced Terry's face with the face of his favorite cartoon hero.

Daredevil: At the end of "Speak of the Devil", Foggy learns that Matt is the Devil of Hell's Kitchen when he discovers him bleeding out in his apartment from being attacked by Wilson Fisk and Nobu. Matt learns not to make the same mistake with Karen, which is why he willingly tells her the secret.
The Defenders: In "Mean Right Hook", Danny and Colleen catch a cleanup crew preparing to break down the bodies of some fallen Chaste soldiers with acid. Danny manages to corner one of them outside, and rips off the guy's mask, revealing it to be Cole Miller, a street kid from Harlem that Misty Knight has tasked Luke with keeping an eye on. Moments later, Luke shows up, having followed Cole's crew after seeing them getting into a work van elsewhere in Harlem, and gets into a fight with Danny.
The Punisher:
In "Two Dead Men", Frank Castle, acting on information from Karen Page about Micro, dons a ski mask and breaks into Carson Wolf's house to accost him. After a drawn-out fight, he ties Wolf to a chair and tortures him for info. But he's deliberately left the restraints loose enough for Wolf to free himself, get the gun away from Frank and rip off his mask.
In "Cold Steel", Billy Russo and some PMC contractors loaned to him by Rawlins ambush Dinah Madani, Sam Stein and a bunch of DHS SWAT officers accompanying them when they are tricked (by Madani feeding false information into Rawlins' bug) into going to a warehouse where they think they will capture Frank meeting with a gun dealer. Stein manages to corner a masked Russo outside as he's trying to flee and draws his pistol on him. He advances on Russo and pulls his mask off. Stein freezes up in shock, and Russo swiftly disarms him of his gun and stabs him to death with a concealed knife.
Hawkeye:
In "Never Meet Your Heroes", Kate Bishop is eavesdropping on an auction where various items recovered from the Avengers Compound are being sold off, including her childhood idol Clint Barton's old Ronin costume and sword. When the auction is attacked by members of the Tracksuit Mafia, Kate dons the costume to take them on. She's caught on camera fleeing the scene afterwards, which gets Clint's attention when he hears about it on the news (as he's in New York with his kids for Christmas). He goes out to confront this person, and ends up saving Kate as she's being ambushed by the Tracksuits. He drags her into a nearby alley, and roughly rips the mask off. Clint is in disbelief over the fact that his costume ended up in the hands of a young woman, while Kate can't believe that her idol of all people came to her rescue.
In "Partners, Am I Right?", as Kate is searching Maya's apartment and comes under attack from her, Clint finds himself under attack from a masked assailant on the roof of the building across the street. Kate and Maya eventually join him in the fight, and Maya is briefly taken out when the masked assailant uses Widow's Bites to shock her. This leads Clint to realize that they're fighting a Black Widow. Eventually, he's able to rip her mask off, revealing her to be Yelena Belova. Realizing her identity has been compromised, Yelena chooses to cut her losses and flee.

On Top Gear (UK), The Stig's identity is a carefully guarded secret. But on one occasion, the tame racing driver followed up a power lap of the Ferrari FXX with an appearance in the studio and an "interview" with Jeremy. After much encouragement from Jeremy and the studio audience, The Stig finally removed his helmet to reveal his secret identity. It's Michael Schumacher! However, at the end of the episode, Schumacher Stig does a lap in the reasonably priced car and does terribly, leaving Jeremy to comment "You know, I don't think Michael Schumacher is The Stig after all."

** Ultimate Muscle: Kevin Mask attempts to do this in the Ch�jin Grand Prix to Kid Muscle, but Kid Muscle is able to keep his mask on by biting onto it. If Kevin Mask had succeeded, this would have meant Kid Muscle would have had to commit ritual suicide (original Japanese source), or would be banned from ever wrestling again (4Kids Dub). Even Doc Nakano (the announcer Mac Metaphor's side-commentator) comments on the oddity that what little we see of Kid Muscle's face is actually of relatively normal human-like appearance.

Parodied in Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th, wherein the villain has so many masks that the characters unmasking him eventually grow bored and the unmasking itself stops being dramatic.

Spider-Man (Insomniac):
Played with in Spider-Man (PS4), as the one person that Spider-Man takes off his mask for, his Aunt May, already knows his secret identity and simply wants to see his face one last time before dying.
In Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Miles unmasks himself before the Tinkerer, aka. his best friend Phin Mason, in a bid to dissuade her from fighting him and continuing her crusade against Roxxon. It doesn't work as well as he hopes.

Batman:
Batman himself, being Crazy-Prepared, is seldom dramatically unmasked. The plot contrives to stop those who would unmask him before it happens. Or he's wearing another mask under the first one so he remains masked even if he removes the cowl. This makes it much more dramatic on the rare occasions when the mask does come off — most memorably when he pulled it off himself to show Joe Chill, his parents' killer, who he really was.
Him not figuring the finer details about it this how Hugo Strange figured out his Secret Identity, by... pulling his mask off.
He's sometimes Crazy-Prepared enough to cover his upper face with paint or another mask in anticipation of being unmasked, so as to still conceal his identity. One time when Batman was trapped at gunpoint by Gotham Police and they ordered him to unmask himself. He did it... only to reveal a blond guy who is nothing like Bruce Wayne.
Sometimes in the animated series, he wears a mask over his cowl, so he can take the former off dramatically before kicking the bad guys' asses.
Once, Batman fought the Red Hood to a standstill; during which RH managed to strip Bats of one glove and his utility belt before ripping his mask off. Stoically, Bruce made no attempt to cover his face. His secret was safe, however: The street they're fighting on was empty and the Red Hood, a.k.a. Jason Todd, already knew... and who himself has just performed his own Dramatic Unmask, with a twist: he's wearing a Domino Mask under his helmet, which of course doesn't hinder Batman recognizing him in the least. Later, a villain asks him why he wears a mask under his helmet, to which he answers:
Batman and Robin (2009) spends twelve issues building up speculation around who mysterious masked man Oberon Sexton was, with many readers speculating that it might be Bruce Wayne himself. In a dramatic unmasking, he is revealed to be the Joker.
During Batman: No Man's Land, when the people left in Gotham after the earthquake were left to form communities and territories and fend for themselves, Commissioner Gordon feels betrayed by Batman, thinking that he had abandoned them for a while. They meet in Gordon's yard for a confrontation that lasts an entire issue, laying bare what each means to the other, culminating in Batman trying to earn his friend's trust by removing his mask. Gordon refuses to look, but appreciates the gesture, and they make up, though it is also implied that Gordon might already know:
In Batman: Hush, Batman finally unmasks to Catwoman thereby progressing their relationship.
In one issue, Batman forgets who his secret identity is due to a Tap on the Head. When he looks under the mask, he doesn't recognize the face, but finds out through police records that he's actually a low-life snitch. As soon as he suspects that something isn't right, he has a closer look, removes the makeup and finds his own familiar face. The world's greatest detective, staring intensely in the mirror, is unable to realize that his face and balding head is a disguise.

The Invisible Man (2020) puts a spin on this. For most of the movie, we're lead to believe that the Invisible Man tormenting Cecilia is her abusive ex, Adrian. After she shoots her attacker dead in a climactic moment, however, she removes his Invisibility Cloak to reveal that it was actually Tom, Adrian's brother. Despite this, she insists - and is ultimately proven correct - that it was both of them, working together, as it's already been established that there was more than one invisibility suit. Tom was just a Fall Guy.

Slade is forcibly unmasked twice in Teen Titans (2003), but both times are somehow twisted around into The Un-Reveal. In the first season, the shadows conveniently blocked his face from view, and in the fourth season, he was conveniently dead, and thus his face was nothing more than a skull.

Hawkeye:
In "Never Meet Your Heroes", Kate Bishop is eavesdropping on an auction where various items recovered from the Avengers Compound are being sold off, including her childhood idol Clint Barton's old Ronin costume and sword. When the auction is attacked by members of the Tracksuit Mafia, Kate dons the costume to take them on. She's caught on camera fleeing the scene afterwards, which gets Clint's attention when he hears about it on the news (as he's in New York with his kids for Christmas). He goes out to confront this person, and ends up saving Kate as she's being ambushed by the Tracksuits. He drags her into a nearby alley, and roughly rips the mask off. Clint is in disbelief over the fact that his costume ended up in the hands of a young woman, while Kate can't believe that her idol of all people came to her rescue.
In "Partners, Am I Right?", as Kate is searching Maya's apartment and comes under attack from her, Clint finds himself under attack from a masked assailant on the roof of the building across the street. Kate and Maya eventually join him in the fight, and Maya is briefly taken out when the masked assailant uses Widow's Bites to shock her. This leads Clint to realize that they're fighting a Black Widow. Eventually, he's able to rip her mask off, revealing her to be Yelena Belova. Realizing her identity has been compromised, Yelena chooses to cut her losses and flee.

Batman: The Animated Series:
In the episode "The Clock King", it's clear Mayor Hill has no clue who the crazy guy that just put him into a Death Trap is. Until he takes off his glasses, at which point Hill does recognize him. Even though he's dressed the exact same way he was the last time Hill ever saw him... 7 years ago.
After defeating Bane, Batman drags him back to Thorne as a warning that Thorne had better not target him like that again, and he definitely shouldn't try to use Robin to get to him. He then unmasks Bane note  Bane's design here was based on Luchador culture. In Luchador fights, to be unmasked by an opponent is one of the greatest dishonors one can face. Hence why Bane looks so ashamed when Batman takes his mask.
In the much-maligned episode "The Terrible Trio", Batman defeats the three rich buttholes who've gone on a crime spree. The ringleader, Fox, is unmasked while he begs Batman to let him go scot-free. Shockingly, it doesn't work.
In the same episode where the vigilante "The Judge" is introduced, Batman has to fight him to protect the the corrupt politician that the Judge was targeting. After he wins said fight, he takes off the Judge's mask to show everyone his identity: Two-Face.

Khan's removal of his mask in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. For a reveal where it's doubtful that anyone didn't realize who it was going to be, Ricardo Montalban still does it masterfully.

Virtually every woman with a speaking part who isn't a regular on the old G.I. Joe cartoon was, in fact, either the Baroness or Zaranna in disguise, complete with a scene in which she pulled off a Mission: Impossible-style face mask to reveal her true identity to the always astounded Joes. Especially hilarious in one episode where a woman wearing glasses turned out to be the Baroness wearing her usual glasses under a mask which had its own pair of glasses.

Scream: Played with in regards to the Ghostface reveals.
This is played straight with Mickey, Roman, Jill, Ethan, and Quinn, all of whom remove their masks while in their Father Death costumes.
This is subverted in the case of Billy, Stu, Mrs. Loomis, Charlie, and Wayne, all of whom reveal themselves in person without the Father Death costumes.

Helluva Boss: Downplayed in that it's not really a mask and he's not covering his face, but in "Mammon's Magnificent Musical", in the middle of an argument with Asmodeus (who already knows who he is), Fizzarolli removes his Happy Harlequin Hat to reveal his broken horns, which were destroyed in the circus fire that left him covered in scars years ago. Fizz uses the hat to cover up what he sees as his "imperfections", and he shows them to Asmodeus to make a point about what he believes he is without his boss Mammon. It's also the first time the viewers get to see his broken horns and scarred head clearly.

Case Closed: This is a common occurrence in the more plot-involved arcs due to characters existing on both good and bad sides who are masters of disguise. Often the disguises are used to protect the identities of the main characters when facing off against the Black Organization, and usually the masks will come off once they're no longer necessary. One of the more notable instances is in episode 345, where Heiji had disguised himself as Shinichi, Conan was disguised as Haibara, and Vermouth had been Dr. Araide for multiple appearances. All three of them end up dramatically unmasking during the events of that night.

Ultimate Spider-Man: Spider-Man unmasked, is unmasked or loses his mask so many times that it almost turned into a running gag. The first time is when he attacked the Kingpin. They defeat him, and remove his mask and find he's just a kid that none of them know. So they just threw him out of the window, without mask. That was in issue #8.

Regular Show: In one episode, Muscle Man's trailer is confiscated by a corrupt health inspector, who reveals himself to be the runner-up from the hot dog eating contest Muscle Man had won the trailer in years ago. Played for laughs as his "disguise" is literally just a pair of glasses, and the viewer didnt know he had existed 10 minutes ago when he was briefly seen in a flashback and no animosity of any sort was implied. What makes it even funnier is the dramatic music and Muscle Man's realization when the inspector reveals himself.

One Piece: This trope is toyed with in one point where it's strongly implied that the other characters have met Iron Mask Duval before. (Luffy even claims that the crew should know his face.) When Duval's helmet is finally kicked off, it turns out that Duval is a total stranger. The crew only knew his face because it was identical to the poorly done sketch used by the Marines for Sanji's wanted poster.

Futurama:
A very emotional example when Leela corners two hooded mutants who she believes killed her alien parents. Fry, having figured out the truth, unmasks them, and reveals that they are her parents, having given her up to an orphanage under the guise of an alien child to give her a normal life, as aliens on Earth have the same rights as normal humans but mutants are forced to live underground in the sewers.
A Scooby-Doo parody episode has Leela unmask the person she believes to be the culprit. Unfortunately, she just accidentally pulls off Zoidberg's head. Of course it's played for laughs. They then capture the villain and subvert this by wiping off the mask as if it were makeup.

At the climax of the first season of Code Geass, Suzaku shoots Zero's mask, splitting it in half and revealing Lelouch's face under it. This act is pretty much entirely symbolic, since it's all but said that Suzaku had already figured things out but didn't want to admit that Lelouch, his best friend since they were children, could be Zero.

Spider-Man:
Roger Stern's original run on The Amazing Spider-Man (1963) in the 1980s introduced the Hobgoblin, the fourth replacement of the then-deceased original Green Goblin. Unfortunately, the mystery of the Hobgoblin's true identity was dragged out for literally years on end and as various writers and editors took the place of Stern and Danny Fingeroth, it was forgotten whom Roger Stern had intended the Hobgoblin to be. The way Tom DeFalco continued the saga made many people think that it was Ned Leeds, only Christopher Priest (then Jim Owsley) sabotaged that by summarily killing off Ned Leeds in Spider Man Vs Wolverine #1. In the end the matter was dropped into Peter David's lap to resolve at short notice in one issue, and he decided that Leeds had been the Hobgoblin all along. It wasn't until Stern returned for a few issues to the Spider-titles years later that he had the real Hobgoblin returned and Spider-Man unmasked him as fashion mogul Roderick Kingsley. Many fans cheered, but many others reacted with: "Who???" The "real Hobgoblin" subsequently had his ass handed to him by the original Green Goblin (returning from the dead) and wasn't used in the mainstream Spider-books for several years, not returning until a brief appearance during "Big Time".
Subverted even more in the original Amazing Spider-Man series where Doctor Octopus unmasks him in front of the other students who immediately recognize Peter but refuse to believe a geek like him could possibly be Spider-Man. They even convince Doc Ock himself that he caught not the real Spidey but just some kid in a Cheap Costume, preserving Peter's secret.

This is mandatory in nearly every episode of Scooby-Doo ever made. "Now let's see who you really are!" It's pretty much the Trope Codifier for most people.
The franchise does occasionally manage to provide enough of a twist to the unmasking to still surprise viewers, as in Scooby-Doo in Where’s My Mummy?, in which Velma was the (well-intentioned) masked culprit.

In Chapter 1, right before pulling his Heroic Sacrifice, Spider-Man unmasks in front of Gwen, revealing his identity to her before he disappears.
In Chapter 7, after Batman reveals that they know Spider-Man's real name, tells Peter that he can trust them. To show it, the entire family unmasks, encouraging Spider-Man to do the same. Considering how closely Spidey and the Bats guard their identities, this is a massive show of trust on both sides.

The Thin Blue Line: In the episode "Rag Week", students are going around town wearing gorilla masks. Later, there is a bank robbery, and the gunmen are wearing gorilla masks. Inspector Fowler believes them to be students having a laugh, and in the manner of a strict teacher, breezily talks them into handing over their guns. He then rips off their "silly masks" to reveal not beardless, spotty-faced students, but sour-looking bearded men.

An interesting aversion occurs in Jubei-chan season 2, Ninja Mikage manages to unmask Freesia in a fight....but Freesia is in her adult form, and has never used it for anything but fighting the main characters; so it's meaningless.

Though he's already aware of her identity, Sentinel knocks off Blackarachnia's face-concealing helmet in Transformers: Animated and reveals her mutated face to the audience for the first time. It's noteworthy in that Blackarachnia had spent the entire series lamenting how hideous she had become as a techno-organic, when in reality the only people who'd commented on her form thought she was smokin'. Under the helmet? It's pretty damn scary.

A flashback in Strong Female Protagonist centers on a variant that happened during a live television interview when (after fielding a series of public policy questions despite admitting repeatedly how out of her depth she was) a frustrated Mega-Girl rips off her Domino Mask,note a rather symbolic gesture announces her real name, age, and birthplace,note a considerably less symbolic gesture tells everyone she has no idea what the fuck she is doing; and storms off the set.

With the game being based around masks, you'd expect this trope to come up in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. While Kafei does unmask himself in his sidequest, the major example is an inversion. The Skull Kid doesn't take off his masknote plus the player has seen his face anyway, the mask takes off the Skull Kid.

Paradox himself points out that he's from the distant future, so of course they don't know him, and later admits that he only had a mask because "it makes my chawacter design look intewesting."

Ultimate Galactus Trilogy: Inverted. The audience has already seen that the scientist Phil Lawson is actually an alien with an armor. When he was captured and took it off (something that SHIELD couldn't figure out how to do themselves, being alien tech), Carol Danvers was taken by surprise. But then, she realized it's not that Phil Lawson is an alien, it's that there is no "Phil Lawson". Phil Lawson is the mask, it has always been an alien infiltrating them as a scientist.

Averted in Red Panda Adventures since the Red Panda and the Flying Squirrel have booby-trapped their masks to give a nasty electric shock to any bad guys to might try to remove them. Being that getting captured by the bad guys (to encourage Evil Gloating) is one of their stock techniques, a way to prevent the dramatic unmask is essential.

Drebin confronts the clerk who committed the murder, and reveals that he knows that before she was a clerk, she had another identity, and then rips off her wig to reveal her true hair color. Then he reveals that she had another identity before that, and rips off another wig. And it keeps going through roughly half a dozen prior identities, all of which she was still wearing the disguises for one over the other, and some of which could not possibly have been concealed under the wigs that were layered on top.

South Park: Subverted. Cartman convinces fourth-grade superhero Mysterion to take off his mask and reveal his identity in order to prevent threats to public safety (à la The Dark Knight); Mysterion complies, only to reveal that because the face of just about every fourth-grader on the show looks exactly the same, it is impossible for the viewers to know his true identity. Cartman and the rest of the characters, however, recognize him immediately. In a later episode, it is revealed that Mysterion is Kenny.

At the end of Chapter 11 on two of the game's routes, the Flame Emperor's mask comes off to reveal Edelgard. Averted on the Black Eagles route, where they bluntly admit their true identity before the big fight.
On the Blue Lions route, the Flame Emperor's unmasking also metaphorically unmasks Dimitri's princely facade as he completely loses his sanity from the reveal and brutally massacres Edelgard's soldiers.
After defeating the Death Knight, if you completed the Mercedes/Caspar paralogue, you are treated to a CG where their helmet comes off. You can see the resemblance to both Jeritza and Mercedes, but the angle prevents you from getting a good look at their face.

One Strong Bad Email from Homestar Runner is actually about Strong Bad finally taking off his mask. Unfortunately, we never get to see him without his mask on as his head is actually blocked by his new armchair in which he bought from Bubs in the same Email. Given his repeated statements that the mask is his face, plus the horrific screams when he pulls it off, this was probably for the best.

The Prisoner (1967):
Done in the finale with Number One. Turns out that Number One is a monkey. Only that happens to be a mask as well, so there's another Dramatic Unmask. This time, it reveals Number Six.
In an earlier episode, A, B, and C, Number Six's dreams are being tapped into and viewed by Number Two. In his dream, No. 6 makes a big show of unmasking the mystery man behind his resignation... Number Two! It turns out 6 got wise to the dream tapping technique and fixed it so he could consciously alter his dream and mess with his captors' heads.

Diabolik:
Happens often due the title character's use of Latex Perfection, to the point that it's rarely dramatic anymore.
One famous subversion comes from the flashback of the first battle between Diabolik and Ginko: at the end of a long chase Ginko did manage to arrest Diabolik and promptly took away the mask of his suit, but Diabolik, anticipating the possibility, was wearing one of his masks. As at the time the masks weren't known to the police Ginko didn't even suspect, and wouldn't until much later, when he raided one of Diabolik's hideouts and found that very mask along a few others.

During Batman: No Man's Land, when the people left in Gotham after the earthquake were left to form communities and territories and fend for themselves, Commissioner Gordon feels betrayed by Batman, thinking that he had abandoned them for a while. They meet in Gordon's yard for a confrontation that lasts an entire issue, laying bare what each means to the other, culminating in Batman trying to earn his friend's trust by removing his mask. Gordon refuses to look, but appreciates the gesture, and they make up, though it is also implied that Gordon might already know:

In Love Live! School Idol Festival ALL STARS:
During Rina Tennoji's individual Chapter 12, she eventually takes off her trademark face-painted board, revealing her face. This reveal is done a bit differently from others - this is a reveal to series' fans rather than ingame characters (as she had done it occasionally before that).
In addition, the reveal happens a few days before the real counterpart's live concert, which catches many fans off guard as they believe that the reveal won't happen in a foreseeable timeframe.

Balrog / Vega of Street Fighter has scenes like this. Though his identity is known anyway and the mask is only to protect his face, several adaptations of the games still make a big deal out of him being unmasked by other people and thus having to show his face. Some of the games let the player knock off the mask themselves. He also has a taunt where he takes off his mask himself, and his Time Over defeat pose has him remove the mask and crush it in his hand.

In Kinnikuman's Dream Tag Arc, the Hell Missionaries tag team, Neptuneman and Big the Budo do this as a finishing move; their Cross Bomber (A two-man lariat from front and back) forces a mask off from the sheer impact. They also have Mask The End, a move where they spin around their target and peel their mask off like an apple. During the arc, the Hell Missionaries successfully unmask Robin Mask, Warsman, Mongolman (Revealing that he's Ramenman), Ashuraman (Revealing that his normal-angry-cold faces are masks hiding his starry-eyed faces) and the second Kinnikuman Great, revealing Terryman took the role after the original Great, Prince Kamehame, died mid-tournament. Their reason for doing so is that according to them, being a masked choujin was once a symbol of power, but now any "inferior" (IE, anyone who isn't a Perfect Choujin like them) can put one on. During the match, Kinnikuman and Terryman break Big the Budo's mask, revealing that he's actually Neptune King, the true Don of the Perfect Choujin.
** Ultimate Muscle: Kevin Mask attempts to do this in the Ch�jin Grand Prix to Kid Muscle, but Kid Muscle is able to keep his mask on by biting onto it. If Kevin Mask had succeeded, this would have meant Kid Muscle would have had to commit ritual suicide (original Japanese source), or would be banned from ever wrestling again (4Kids Dub). Even Doc Nakano (the announcer Mac Metaphor's side-commentator) comments on the oddity that what little we see of Kid Muscle's face is actually of relatively normal human-like appearance.

DiZ does it near the end of Kingdom Hearts II, although the person he's unmasking himself before, King Mickey Mouse, already knows who he is.
Played a tad bit straighter with Vanitas, The Dragon of Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, during the Final Episode. Holy... Namely, the fact that he has Sora's face, but with black hair and yellow eyes.

One classic example is more a classic unhooding in The Adventures of Robin Hood, when the King reveals himself to the Merry Men. The shedding of a stark plain black cloak for the bright red and gold tunic and armor makes for a powerful impression.

In Sailor Moon, while Tuxedo Mask's identity is known rather early to the audience, some versions still do this scene.
The first anime has Zoisite knock off his mask - but in a subversion, nobody except Beryl and Zoisite see his face.
The manga actually does this out of order - after rescuing an unconscious Sailor Moon in battle, Tuxedo Mask takes her back to his apartment. When she wakes up, she sees Mamoru, still wearing some of his uniform but otherwise already unmasked. He lets her put his mask on his face as she puts two and two together.
In Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Moon realizes who he is when they unknowingly replay an argument they've had earlier on in their civilian guises. She slowly reaches to unmask him and Mamoru realizing the jig is up, doesn't resist.

Batman: Under the Red Hood. During a Rooftop Confrontation struggle, the Red Hood tears off Batman's mask. So just to play fair Red Hood removes his mask to reveal his own Secret Identity (though in this case each person already knows or suspects who the other is). He then kicks the red hood mask over to Batman, where it explodes.

The Punisher:
In "Two Dead Men", Frank Castle, acting on information from Karen Page about Micro, dons a ski mask and breaks into Carson Wolf's house to accost him. After a drawn-out fight, he ties Wolf to a chair and tortures him for info. But he's deliberately left the restraints loose enough for Wolf to free himself, get the gun away from Frank and rip off his mask.
In "Cold Steel", Billy Russo and some PMC contractors loaned to him by Rawlins ambush Dinah Madani, Sam Stein and a bunch of DHS SWAT officers accompanying them when they are tricked (by Madani feeding false information into Rawlins' bug) into going to a warehouse where they think they will capture Frank meeting with a gun dealer. Stein manages to corner a masked Russo outside as he's trying to flee and draws his pistol on him. He advances on Russo and pulls his mask off. Stein freezes up in shock, and Russo swiftly disarms him of his gun and stabs him to death with a concealed knife.
