History
The black Glove is a criminal organization apparently led by Doctor Simon Hurt. Consisting mostly of rich men and women of a villainous nature(such as corrupt dictators and amoral millionaires), the Black Glove meets rarely, perhaps once a year, to bet on a life-and-death struggle brought upon some third party by the Black Glove.
The Black Glove maintains a cover as a group of incredibly rich people who throw outrageous parties, but the precise nature of the parties are shrouded in secrecy.
Apart from its millionaire clients, the Black Glove maintains a standing organization of actors, whom they are quick to use in their schemes. They also have connections with corrupt government officials, able to alter medical records and bribe witnesses with seeming incredible ease and speed.
Batman R.I.P.
One year, Doctor Hurt proposed that the group bet on whether "the ultimate noble hero" could withstand "the ultimate ignoble defeat", and began planning accordingly. In preperation for this, he tipped Batman off to the fact that the Black Glove was interested in him, by activating the Three Batmen(Josef Muller, Branca and Michael Lane), and hiring John Mayhew to assassinate the International Club of Heroes. As Batman raved of a super-conspiracy, his friends and family thought he was going mad.
Assembling a team of obscure villains, Doctor Hurt used a post-hypnotic trigger to bring the Caped Crusader to a shuddering halt. Banking on Batman recovering somehow, Doctor Hurt lay in wait for Batman, believing that the complete destruction of a pure and noble soul is a form of artwork, and hoping, with Batman to produce his masterpiece.
However, Batman and his allies fought back against them, and within six months most of its members had been killed by the League of Assassins.
