Jezebel Jet

The Black Glove is a strange group. Their main for m of villainy is manipulating the lives of people and taking bets on their reactions. While all of the members are very wealthy, they don't bet with money. Instead they choose to bet with the lives of others: mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, sons, daughters and it goes without saying, slaves as well. This was Jezebel Jet's life. She was lost in a bet and won by a man named Jacob Nkele.

Jacob was the ruler of a small African country and raised Jezebel as his own daughter. He also twisted her mind so that she would hate the mother who was constantly searching for her. He eventually had her mother murdered secretly, but not before her mother sent a letter telling her everything. When Jacob died Jezebel became the ruler of that country and spread her wings. Working simultaneously as Queen Jet and supermodel Jazebel Jet. It is around this time she met Bruce Wayne.

Jezebel and Bruce met during a fundraising event held in a London art gallery. She introduced him to various other politicians and celebrities at the event. However, she refused to share her phone number with her. Refusing to be just another woman linked to Bruce Wayne's sexcapades or a "Wayne Girl" as she called it, like Bond Girls.

The two had an island get away that didn't go well. While Bruce gave her rare breeds of flowers that Alfred had bred other parts of the trip did not go as well. Bruce launched a jet ski at a member of the paparazzi because he thought they were assassins. He claimed it was an accident. He was covered in bruises which he claimed were from extreme sports. Beyond the paparazzi the relationship was being watched by Talia Al Ghul who was still in love with Bruce.

While sky diving with Bruce he went off course to follow the Bat Signal. There he was attacked by the three ghost of Batman. One was Michael Lane, now known as Azrael, during the attack Bruce was shot with a lethal dose of chemicals and suffered a heart attack. When Jezebel confronted Bruce later about his disappearances and constant wounds they were attacked in a restaurant by several assassins. Bruce managed to fight them off and she forgives him, the relationship grows closer.

Then Bruce feels that he can't keep anymore secrets from her and he reveals that he is Batman before giving a tour of the Batcave. Bruce is almost ready to propose marriage at this point. One day they receive an invitation for The Black Glove charity event. Bruce believes they are evil, and he's right. But Jessica convinces him to attend anyway, putting his mind at ease.

Speaking the words Zur-En Arrrh caused Bruce to collapse and become a drug addicted Batman. I'm not even joking. At this point Batcave surveillance showed Jessica being kidnapped by gargoyles of The Black Hand. When drug addicted Batman appears to rescue her it revealed that she had been a member of The Black Glove as well because membership is passed through families. It was all part of The Black Gloves new bets. One, could Batman be broken? Yes, they caused him to become temporarily addicted to drugs and insane. Two, who would win between a crazed Batman and focused Joker. The answer is, Joker won.

However it's at this point things went south. Joker thanked them for their help getting rid of Batman but he didn't like being manipulated. He started killing Black Glove members left and right. Jezebel Jet managed to escape to her private jet and escaped both Joker and criminal charges. She did not however escape Batman's abusive ex-girlfriend and rapist baby momma Talia. Tali called her on the phone and let her know an army of Man Bats was coming to kill her. Just then the plane was attacked over the ocean. Talia was later shown to have put the head on display. How is that for a scorned lover?

Off topic: I know I made Batman R.I.P. sound crazy, with a drug addicted Batman. However, you should pick it up. It's a good read. While the reveal that Jezebel is Black Glove comes late in the story if you go back, there are hints all over the book. This was something well thought out before and wasn't just a surprised twist. The drug addicted Batman is crazy, but it's done really well. Zur-En Arhhh was a block he put in his mind so that if he were ever taken out he could operate in some capacity. I don't even like Batman but it was cool.
