    This issue has Batman and Jezebel discussing the Black Glove, and wether or not Bruce Wayne could be the Black Glove himself. On the other hand the Black Glove discuss what to do with Bruce Wayne. This is one hundred percent a character piece. It is all set up for upcoming issues, and whatever it is that is coming later.

     Interest is high in the story, although i do not see this yet as anything special.

That was my clue that any death in this story arc probably won't be a real death unless it's a secon...
