I have been looking for the trailer that goes with this poster but this was all I found about this 'Tiger Mask'. Is this movie real? It looks very Hong Kong Batman to me. I think I would like to see something like that.

Tiger Mask was a manga, later anime series from the '70s. "Tiger Mask" is the alter ego of the character Naoto Date, a pro wrestler who goes against an evil wrestling organization and fights for children in an orphanage. In the new setup for the film, Date dons a special suit and "transforms" into Tiger Mask with enhanced mobility and muscle strength. His mask has also been redesigned with a nod to American comic action heroes such as Spider-Man and Batman.
There are maybe clips of the '70s anime series on YouTube, but sadly none of them are in English.

I remember a brief appearance in the 80's by Tiger Mask in the Worl Wrestling federation. He was very fast , acrobatic and exciting...but the U.S. fans did not take to him...but in Japan...a Tiger Mask still wrestles and performs...right along with comics and cartoons.
