Although DC has explored numerous Hush-related narratives in the years following the original series, Batman: Hush 2 marks the first time the original creative team has reunited for a sequel. This eagerly awaited continuation brings back writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, alongside inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings.

Hush 2 expands upon the recent epilogue featured in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition. In this new arc, the Dark Knight uncovers evidence that his childhood friend, Tommy Elliot, survived their last confrontation, setting the stage for a fresh mystery. As Hush, Tommy continues to manipulate Batman's allies and enemies, weaving a complex web of intrigue.

The storyline will unfold across Batman #158-163, with the first issue, #158, set to hit stores on March 26. Following the conclusion of Hush 2, DC plans to relaunch the series with a new #1 issue, introducing a new costume for Batman. This new era will be brought to life by writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez, promising an exciting future for the Dark Knight.
