Nevertheless, reports are coming in that Bane masks are the choice of PPE for some people during the pandemic as a load of stores over in America have reportedly sold out of them. These outlets include Costume.com, BuyCostumes.com and HalloweenCostumes.com – although they’re still available on Amazon if you feel like you’re missing out and need to get your hands on one.

Looking at sales figures, the adult mask had quite a sales spike in April and early May, which is unusual for this time of year.
