While DC has explored various Hush-related narratives since the original storyline concluded, "Batman: Hush 2" marks the first time the original creative team has been brought back together. The reunion includes writer Jeph Loeb, artist Jim Lee, inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings, promising a return to the magic that made the first Hush saga so iconic.

Building on the recent epilogue featured in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, "Hush 2" picks up where the Dark Knight discovers evidence that his childhood friend Tommy Elliot survived their last confrontation. This revelation sets the stage for a new mystery as Hush cunningly manipulates Batman's circle of allies and enemies, adding layers of intrigue and suspense.

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