BATMAN: HUSH is a thrilling mystery of action, intrigue, and deception penned by Jeph Loeb (BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN) and illustrated by comics superstar Jim Lee (ALL STAR BATMAN & ROBIN, THE BOY WONDER) in which Batman sets out to discover the identity of a mysterious mastermind using the Joker, Riddler, Ra's al Ghul and the Dark Knight's other enemies - and allies - as pawns in a plan to wreak havoc.
This volume collects Batman #609-619 as well as the 6-page segment from Wizard #0 and a 2-page origin story that originally appeared at dccomics.com.

Jeph Loeb creates a thrilling and heartbreaking version of both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Showing Bruce after the loss of one of his Robins, Loeb shows that even the hardest people can experience gut wrenching grief and cannot control it.
The female characters in this are written so incredibly well, both the heroes, the villains, and those who are in between. This book shows Poison Ivy, one of my all time favourite villains (possibly my favourite
character) as an devastatingly formidable force to be reckoned with.
Speaking of Villains, Hush is one of the best modern villains created. The hunt to find out who Hush is is very reminscint of the Detective Comics from which Batman orginated.
Who is Hush? Why is he trying to destroy Batman? Is he just one of Batman's deranged foes hellbent on revenge? Jim Lee's art is incredibly beautiful, so well suited to this story. The colours are amazing, drawing your eye to all the action on the page. - Karina (QBD)
