About this Collection

This volume collects the first half of the acclaimed 2003 storyline by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, in which Batman faces a mysterious new adversary who seems to anticipate his every move. The story weaves together a rogues' gallery of classic villains, including the Joker, Riddler, and Catwoman, while exploring Bruce Wayne's relationships and the secrets of his past.

Batman: Hush #1 kicks off with a shocking twist: Superman, under Poison Ivy’s mind control, is ordered to kill Batman. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by Jim Lee, with inks by Scott Williams and colors by Alex Sinclair, this issue plunges Gotham into chaos as Batman races to break the control before it’s too late. The cover, by Jim Lee and Scott Williams, captures the intensity of the moment with a striking image of the two icons locked in a deadly standoff.
