Remarkably, Batman: Hush 2 marks the first time the original creative team reunites since the original series concluded. Writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee return, joined once again by inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings.

Building upon the recent epilogue in Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, Hush 2 unveils a new mystery. The Dark Knight uncovers evidence that his childhood nemesis, Tommy Elliot, survived their last encounter. Hush now manipulates Batman's allies and foes, setting the stage for thrilling new conflicts.

Hush 2 will unfold across Batman #158-163, beginning March 26th. Following this arc, a fresh start awaits with a new #1 issue, a redesigned costume, and a new creative team: writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez ushering in a new era for the Dark Knight.
