All I can say after reading this one is . . . Wow!! Grant Morrison has really outdone himself this month. And I don't just mean this title, I'm talking about the combination of it, and Final Crisis. The guy is a story-telling machine. Right now, it seems like those closest to Bruce, except for Alfred . . are being kept away from him. So he doesn't really have anyone to talk to. Well . . except for Jet. And I'm starting to think that she's in on this whole thing with the Black Glove and Doctor Hurt. Also, when they said that this was going to tie everything together from Grant's amazing run on Batman . . they weren't kidding. Batman is trying to dig up some kind of information on the Black Glove, but all he can come up with is an old movie by John Mayhew. Remember that story where Batman and Robin went to that island and all the other "wanna-be" dynamic-duo's were there? It ended up being a murder mystery, and . . it happened on John Mayhew's island. Although he never showed up for it. When I was reading it, that story didn't seem to have any signifigance at the time. However, now . . it seems to be directly related to this Black Glove group. But, not only does Bruce think he's going crazy . . or at least someone's really trying to mess with him, but there's also a story getting ready to be released saying that Bruce's father, Thomas Wayne, wasn't the upright humanitarian that everyone was lead to believe. So it seems like someone is trying to tear apart Bruce's life from both sides. At the end of the issue, some villains show up to the Bat-cave and proceed to beat up Alfred. There's been no clue yet, but I'm wondering if Hush, Thomas Elliot, has something to do with all of this. It couldn't be Jason Todd, because he's off doing something else right now. Or, maybe Hush really isn't Thomas Elliot, and he's someone else we don't even know yet. Regardless, it's all speculation on my part. I don't even know for sure that Hush is involved . . but I'm thinkin' . . .
