Gotham: 10 Things You Need To Know About Professor Pyg
6. He Has Ties To The Black Glove
DC Comics
Although the Court of Owls have played the part of the shadowy organisation since Gotham's first season, Pyg's ties lie with a completely different group.
The Black Glove were another major feature of Grant Morrison's run on Batman, and Pyg himself had a major part to play in their machinations. Founded to systematically destroy Bruce Wayne's life from the ground up, Simon Hurt's Black Glove released Pyg to aid in that aim, leading to a confrontation in crime alley that nearly saw Gordon become a Dollotron, of all things.
While it might be wishful thinking to expect the Black Glove to arrive at Gotham at some point, Pyg's connections to one shadowy organisation may serve as indication that he's involved with another, namely the Court themselves.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
