Batmans enemies surround him,Black Glove are quietly preparing to bring him down.Even his own friends arent sure the black glove actually exists or are a dillusion .
Its great to see the secret club kick all the pins out from under brucey one by one,and we get to see him plunge even futher into the abyss.
The comic is completely written for adults ,in that not only is it dark and intelligent its also uncompromisingly bleak and just plain uncompromising.The ending is a violent vicious joy to read and i would highly recommend this book to all

An exciting and rewarding read. The storyline is complex and intriguing, giving a really good look into the psyche of Bruce Wayne. If you haven't read Batman & Son and Black Glove the storyline may be somewhat confusing as this is the final part of a long saga that Morrison has crafted carefully and subtly over a number of years. Tony Daniel's art is powerful and suitable for the feel of the story.
This comic should be in the collection of every Batman fan.

This storyline has been building for a while. Morrison has been working hard on integrating all the Batman stories ever written into one narrative, and has succeeded brilliantly, even managing to include the weird 1950's SF stuff by explaining it away as an hallucination brought on by a sensory deprivation experiment.
This is not linear storytelling. This is a challenging (but very rewarding) read. The story does become fractured, but that fits perfectly with the context of The Black Glove taking Batman apart at a psychological level. Be prepared to have to read this several times to pick up on all of the threads. You'll also have to be prepared to read it all in one go, since as with the majority of Morrison's best work, the devil is indeed in the details.
If you want a traditional Batman tale, this is definitely not for you. You'll probably hate it (as many of the reviewers here seem to) if you just want a comic book action movie featuring Batman. If you're prepared for a wild, insane ride through Batman's biggest challenge so far (well... until The Omega Effect, anyway), you'll enjoy this.

Morrison ties in the 1950s continuity and Bat-Mite!
This volume reprints Batman #676-683 and DC Universe #0. It appears to continue from the preceding volume, so this story might be confusing if you haven't read The Black Glove... Read more

Not exactly a "Classic"
Ridiculous is a word that springs to mind while reading this particular Batman Comic. The Art is good but by today's standards nothing to distract from the hopeless story. Read more
