While 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. This sequel brings back writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, along with inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings.

Hush 2 picks up from the recent epilogue featured in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition. The Dark Knight uncovers evidence that his childhood friend, Tommy Elliot, survived their last confrontation, setting the stage for a new mystery where Hush cunningly manipulates Batman's circle of allies and enemies.

Hush 2 will unfold across Batman #158-163, with Batman #158 slated for release on March 26. Following this arc, DC plans to relaunch the series with a new #1 issue and a fresh costume, ushering in a new era for the Dark Knight under the creative direction of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez.
