About this Collection

This compact edition collects the full 12-issue Batman: Hush storyline, originally published in 2002-2003, written by Jeph Loeb with art by Jim Lee. The story follows Batman as he faces a mysterious new villain who manipulates his rogues' gallery and tests his relationships with allies like Catwoman and Superman. This DC Compact Comics Edition presents the complete saga in a smaller, more portable format without sacrificing the detailed artwork or narrative impact.

In "The Legend of the Batman. Who He is and How He Came to Be," Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee deliver a pivotal chapter in the Hush saga, where long-buried secrets begin to surface. With Harvey Dent’s unexpected betrayal and the Riddler’s chilling revelation about Batman’s identity, the truth about Bruce Wayne’s past takes on new urgency. The issue closes with a powerful, emotional moment that reshapes the bond between Batman and Catwoman.
