While DC has explored several Hush-related narratives over the years, Batman: Hush 2 marks the first time the original creative team has reunited for a sequel. The powerhouse team of writer Jeph Loeb, artist Jim Lee, inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings are back to deliver an unforgettable experience.

Building on the recent epilogue in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, Hush 2 delves deeper into the mystery surrounding Batman's childhood friend, Tommy Elliot, who has seemingly survived their last confrontation. As Hush, Elliot continues to manipulate Batman's allies and enemies, setting the stage for a thrilling new chapter.

Hush 2 will unfold across Batman #158-163, with the first issue hitting stores on March 26. Following this arc, DC plans to relaunch the series with a new #1 issue and a fresh costume, spearheaded by writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez, heralding a new era for the Dark Knight.
