Product Description:
Mysterious Batman impostors begin to appear on the streets of Gotham. One of these impostors begins to kill cops, working his way towards Police Comissioner Jim Gordon as he tells his tale and waits for his prize: the life of the Dark Knight, in exchange for the lives of the precinct cops. After being capture and subsequently tortured by one of the impostors, Batman falls into a coma and his mind flashes back to a defining adventure in the life of young Bruce Wayne...the hunt for his parents' killer!

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A bridge book, laden with typical Morrison techniques
I would have to agree with the other reviewers where there are times where it seems I was missing something important, that there was some secondary plot hidden in the artwork or hinted at with character expression that I was not able to digest on the first reading. However it is more likely that this is just standard Morrison style of leaving the reader wanting, and the hints and allusions being more obvious than they first appear.

That is part of the fun with reading a Morrison book, ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fantastic!
This title, as Batman & Son and Resurrection of Rha's al Ghul, is a perfect and definitive tie in for Batman RIP. I found this one in particular rather good given the mistery surronding the first chapters and later on because of the materialization of one of the Batman & Son predictions. I enjoy this book a lot for many reasons, but I won't give any spolier. The art is very good too, I must admit. Kind of dark (not too much) and gritty. This is a good purchase, Batman fans.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Starts great....but then....
The beginning arc of this book is fantastic. It's quirky and fun while still being serious enough for a Batman book. The art is amazing. I like Tony Daniels work that comes at the end, but some of it seems like it was rushed or not inked properly. It's a very contrasting difference from the beginning art by JH Williams.
All in all, this was an interesting set up to RIP, and had some really great moments in it.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - more Batman for the wannabe high-brow...
I'm not sure if it's Grant Morrison's intention to be as alienating and confusing to readers as his Batman run suggests. I personally like to think that he throws in alot of obscure plot elements to keep readers thinking and re-reading these stories with the expetation of getting something new out of fit each time. Unfortunatly with The Black Glove (especially with the second half) it feels more like Grant Morrison's just trying to show off his knowledge of 'silver-age to present' Batman and say 'screw ...

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun Batman Murder Mystery
I've been reading a lot of negative reviews of Grant Morrison's run on Batman, and to me they seem unjustified. His entire run on the title has been strange and interesting, running the gamut of Batman stories [from straight-up detective work to psychedelic flights of fantasy] and drawing upon the wealth of his entire history. Morrison obviously loves and understands Batman and his history, and it shows in his writing.

The Black Glove is the third collection of Grant's Batman, and it's solid. ... Read More
