Batman: Hush 2 – The Ultimate Showdown with a Familiar Foe

In an exciting new chapter for Batman fans, Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez are set to take the helm of the iconic character’s adventures. However, before we dive into that, the Dark Knight will face a formidable adversary in the upcoming Batman: Hush 2, also known as H2SH based on its logo.

What to Expect from Batman: Hush 2

Similar to the original 2002 storyline, this much-anticipated sequel will unfold across 12 gripping issues, featuring the legendary Jeph Loeb as the writer and Jim Lee as the artist. The artwork will also showcase inks and letters by Scott Williams and Richard Starkings. The Hush storyline was highly praised at the time, and the teaser trailer for the sequel aims to captivate viewers with animated panels showcasing McLee’s and Williams’ artwork. So, what’s the storyline of Hush 2 aside from Batman confronting his childhood friend turned nemesis, Tommy Elliott? Loeb and Lee remain tight-lipped about the specifics, but the writer has hinted that this narrative arc will “resolve the Hush saga once and for all.” Though in the world of comics, it’s always questionable how permanent “once and for all” truly is.

According to Hollywood Reporter, Absolute Batman was 2024’s top-selling comic, leading DC Comics to aspire for Hush 2 to achieve similar success in 2025. The collected editions of the original Batman: Hush have consistently performed well in sales, prompting the company to give the sequel significant focus during February’s ComicsPro industry meeting. The confidence is palpable in the trailer, which highlights Lee and Loeb walking in slow motion towards one another, proclaiming the upcoming sequel as “the most anticipated sequel in comics history.”
