While DC has released several Hush-related stories over the years, Batman: Hush 2 marks the first time the original creative team has come together for a sequel. The talented team of writer Jeph Loeb, artist Jim Lee, inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings are back to bring fans this thrilling new chapter.

Building upon the epilogue featured in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, Hush 2 sees the Dark Knight uncovering evidence that his childhood friend Tommy Elliot, also known as Hush, survived their last confrontation.

Following this, DC plans to relaunch the series with a new #1 issue and a fresh costume design, ushering in a new era for the Dark Knight under the creative direction of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez.
