Batman The Black Glove Grant Morrison Tony Daniel JH Williams III Books

The first half of this book is a fantastic murder mystery where Batman and the International Club of Heroes (a group of Batman imitators from around the world) are trapped on an island and killed one-by-one.

The second half continues the build up to Morrison's Batman RIP storyline.

The first half is a lot of fun and interesting, the second half is hard to judge since it leads into Batman RIP and that storyline is ongoing.

Batman The Black Glove Grant Morrison Tony Daniel JH Williams III Books Reviews

This volume is a perfect summation of everything I love about comics. The primary story arc present is a classic locked-room mystery featuring Batman and a number of minor silver-age characters - and it's fantastic. Everything fits well, and in an era where the art for Batman comics has been wildly inconsistent, the art for the club of heroes arc is beautiful and dynamic. It's honestly the best art I've ever seen in a Batman comic, with the possible exception of Frank Quitely's run on Batman & Robin. It's hard to compare the two styles because they are both fantastic.

The remainder of the volume continues the Batman R.I.P. arc began in Batman and Son and continued in Batman R.I.P. - it's not as tight as the club of heroes segment, but does a good job of setting up all the events in the R.I.P. trade. It's very different in style and tone, but still excellent - as long as you've read the preceding volumes and are willing to read several more to get to the denouement.

Highly recommended for anybody with even a passing interest - the club of heroes arc is one of the finest graphic narratives I have ever read and more than worth the price of admission.
It took me a couple of times reading through the book to get it and maybe I still don't. The first story finds Batman and the `Batmen of All Nations' trapped in a mansion on a small island. The Batmen characters were created back in the lighthearted 1960's where Batman had inspired other crime fighters from around the world to don Batman like costumes modified to their own ethnic flavor. This being NOT the 1960's the Batmen are no longer the gay band of merry men they once were and now find themselves being picked off one by one ala Agatha Christie `And Then There Were None'. The big reveal at the end of the killers identity was... ok, but the first time I read the book I thought the villain WAS the titular `Black Glove'. But the Black Glove is more of an ethereal foe if not a product of Batman's imagination.

The Batman has become obsessed with the idea that there may exist a foe who cannot be caught, a King of Crime. It appeared at first that the Black Glove was the mastermind pulling the strings in the first story; the villain behind the villain but in retrospect I wonder if it's more a product of Batman's paranoia. Batman has become so obsessed with planning for every eventuality that his mind has now constructed a villain who is always one step ahead no matter how well he strategizes. So is the Black Glove real or a product of Batman's vivid imagination? Maybe we'll find out in R.I.P.

The book starts off big with some excellent and creative art but drops in quality in the next two stories with the final one having both the weakest plot and blandest visuals. The second story was pretty good although it used characters from stories I've never read. Apparently years ago the police department started to fret about what might happen if Batman were to expire so they created three Batman type crime fighters from their own ranks. The plan didn't go well. Batman gets blasted in the chest by one of the pseudo Batmen and goes into cardiac arrest and that's where the story gets really strange as Batman finds himself disoriented, slipping between images from the past and strange hallucinations including a character who looks like the old Bat Mite.

I enjoyed the second story very much but the third was weak. Bruce Wayne is having dinner at a restaurant with his girlfriend, Jezebel Jet (yikes), when a member of the Ten-Eyed Brotherhood breaks in and... well, actually I can't remember what exactly he was trying to do. Maybe kidnap Jet. It was pretty forgettable and a sorry way to close out the book. Let me just say that making a compelling story with one of the Ten-Eyed men is... challenging.

The thread that binds all the stories is Batman's increasing paranoia which reminds me of his creation of Brother Eye during the run up to Infinite Crisis. So where does DC go with this as Batman becomes more and more unhinged? I guess it leads up to his death in Batman R.I.P. DC has already stated that Batman isn't actually dead but it is interesting to see how writers try and push the envelope of what they can do with a character who is the companies biggest cash cow without truly, fundamentally altering the character. The death of Batman could be a hugely powerful story but then of course you're left with a dead Batman and what fun is that.
When brilliant comic writer Grant Morrison (Final Crisis, The Filth, New X-Men; c'mon, you know the list) took over duties on Batman, readers knew we were going to a get a bit of a different take on the classic character. The Batman & Son storyarc proved that, and also served as a set up for The Black Glove, which finds the mystery that began in the pages of Batman & Son getting even deeper. The Black Glove picks up with Batman and Robin taking a trip to a secluded island and meeting up with a group of international Batman-inspired heroes, only to have a murder mystery in their midst. Later on, Batman makes it back to Gotham City, and has another run-in with the Batman impersonators that were once Gotham City cops, which leaves more questions than answers naturally. If you've read anything from Morrison, then you should know that a majority of his work is structured like a tree, and typically pretty cryptic. His run on Batman is no different, and he writes the character wonderfully. Sadly though, and this may be a put off for a number of fans, Morrison is gleefully pulling a good amount of material from Batman's silver age past, which he does do a good job putting to use here, but for newer or younger readers, many of the references may be a little over their heads. That aside though, The Black Glove is a solid read that will keep you entertained, and the great artwork from Tony Daniel and J.H. Williams III (Ryan Benjamin's pencil work in the closing chapter features some odd-looking facial expressions however) is a joy to look at as well. All in all, if you've been following Morrison's run at all, The Black Glove is a worthwhile pickup, and will leave you salivating for Batman R.I.P.
Overall it's a good short comic but I was completely fooled into buying this book , since I bought all Grant Morrisons trade paperbacks of his run on batman and the list included The Black Glove after reading Batman & Son but yet The Black Glove is already included in Batman & Son TPB . So basically if you've gotten Batman & Son do not waste your $ on The Black Glove like I did . The Black Glove is a short series which was covered in Batman & Son . So basically they sold one book into two different comics . The BS part is that I paid 19$ for this Black Glove copy & come to find out its a repeat of what happened in Batman & Son
