Jim Carrey is ready to kick some ass in Kick-Ass 2!

The actor is all suited up for the sequel to the hit 2010 superhero satire, about a bunch of gonzo kids who try their hand at becoming real-life, bruised-and-battered crime-fighting vigilantes.

The film opens on June 28, and here, we get our first glimpse of Carrey—a newbie to the franchise—as masked crusader Col. Stars and Stripes, who teams up with Kick-Ass himself (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) to whoop some serious baddie butt.

Judging by the Colonel's DIY getup, we're guessing the Avengers need not worry about their day jobs: Carrey mugs it up in fatigues and what looks like a homespun mask made out of an old T-shirt.

His sidekick? An adorable German shepherd sporting its own stars-and-stripes mask—hey, even canine crime-fighters need to protect their identities.

Carrey's done the masked rigmarole before—he made quite a splash as the Riddler in 1995's much-maligned Batman Forever.

Hopefully, he's picked up some helpful tips and tricks from that camptastic debacle that might serve him well on Kick-Ass 2's yukfest!
