  Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Black Pirate
Obviously, one of The Black Pirate's forebears was the Douglas Fairbanks silent film of the same name, which was released in 1926.
The first thing he did was give The Black Pirate a secret identity, when the character's arch-enemy, Don Carlos, enlisted Jon Valor's help in tracking down the sea rover, little suspecting the two were one and the same.
Before long, The Black Pirate had stopped wearing fl in favor of a distinctive (and very colorful) costume, complete with mask, and was having as many adventures on land as on sea.

  Black Bart, Pirate of the Caribbean
If we are to believe it, Black Bart was perhaps the most successful pirate of all time, with the capture of over 400 ships and over £50 million of booty * in a career that spanned a mere 2 years and six months.
Black Bart was caught with this second broadside, having half his neck ripped out by a one inch ball of grape shot.
The few remaining pirates were acquitted, meaning they were either well connected, could afford a ransom of some sort, or were such a minor character that they were released to show the court as merciful.

"The Black Pirate" tells the story of a young man of noble lineage, the Duke of Arnoldo (Fairbanks), who is the sole survivor of a pirate attack on his ship, which was blown to pieces, and who swears to avenge his father, killed in the explosion.
While the old pirate ship is going to claim the ransom, with an emissary from the captured ship on board, the Black Pirate and most of the pirate crew stay on the new ship, waiting for the return of the old ship.
The Black Pirate had secretly given a message to the emissary, telling him to send a fleet against the pirates, while he would put the princess safely on shore in the middle of the night.

 Navarro's Silent Film Guide - Movie Reviews - The Black Pirate
THE BLACK PIRATE (1926) Douglas Fairbanks, as the Black Pirate, exhorts his fellow buccaneers to hold the captured princess (Billie Dove) for ransom, rather than ravage her in the accustomed manner of sea brigands.
When she is discovered on board, the lustful pirates hold a lottery to win her "favors;" but the Black Pirate intervenes and exacts their promise to keep her "spotless and unharmed" while they hold her for ransom.
On the Kino Video DVD of The Black Pirate, there's a special feature narrated by film historian Rudy Behlmer, who tells us that when the Duke and the Princess seal their engagement with a passionate kiss, the lady in the scene is not Billie Dove, but actually Fairbanks' superstar wife Mary Pickford.

Several of the pirates begin grabbing and mauling her to her (and our) disgust until the suggestion is made that they draw lots for her.

"The Black Pirate" is the great grand-pappy of all pirate movies to come, and every possible genre convention is on display, be it sliding down the sail by splitting it with a dagger, or fencing several men at once, catching all of their blades with one parry.
Doug's character, the self-proclaimed "Black Pirate" (the only character who seems to have a name is MacTavish), and his dying father are the only survivors of the attack, but soon after he has carried his father onto the beach of some island, he discovers in horror and heartbreak that he's dead.
However, one of the other pirates has his sights on her too, and feels she's his because he drew the short strand of rope when he and some of his friends were arguing over which one should get her.

 Movie Review: The Black Pirate / Mountain Xpress / Asheville, NC
The Black Pirate is far and away the most purely "fun" of all Douglas Fairbanks' "mature" films.
The Black Pirate – now a template for nearly every pirate movie ever made – is the happy exception to this.
Fairbanks – the sole and quite inexplicable survivor of one of their murderous forays – joins the crew of brigands as "The Black Pirate" in order to exact his revenge for the killing of his father.

 The Black Pirate (1926)
Fairbanks vows revenge and subsequently joins the pirate crew, walking a fine line by seeming to aid the pirates while actually protecting potential victims and plotting the pirates’ ultimate downfall.
The film doesn’t sanitize its violent villains or gloss over their bloodthirsty ways: In the opening scene, one prisoner furtively swallows a ring to try to keep it from the pirates — but the pirate captain notices and sends a man with a knife to gruesomely retrieve it offscreen.
And when a beautiful lady (Billie Dove) from a captured ship falls into the pirates’ hands, there’s no doubt of the gravity of her peril — until Fairbanks’ bold intervention on her behalf.

Continuity: At about 31 minutes into the film, there are several shots of the "Black Pirate" aiming two swivel cannons at the viewer, interspersed with reaction shots of other actors.
However, it's really hard to rate the movie---compared to other silent pirate films, it might just be the best.
Some of their silent films in the past were less than wonderful (especially some of their Buster Keaton videotapes), but this videotape is top quality and has nice extras at the end of the tape.
