Ideas for Antagonist (masks)

Here are some images that we have based our ideas on for our characters mask. We liked the idea of a scarecrow with blood stains and stitched face - (like the one from Batman Begins in one of the pictures below) we also were inspired by medieval executioners which also incorporates some of the scarecrows style.
Another idea we have had is incorporating a military feel to our character ,so a balaclava was the obvious choice, but when comparing the two (scarecrow and balaclava)the scarecrow mask still felt right for the character and would receive the more desired fearful reaction from our target audience. we thought of ways of making the balaclava more 'scary' and mixed and matched a few ideas. Our best idea was adding a modern Hannibal Lecter style mouth restraint over the top and blacking out the eye patch's ( incorporating some of the scarecrow stitching in the process).

the images below are the inspiration for our characters mask.
