Batman knew his deadliest new enemy Hush, who first appeared in the Jeph Loeb/Jim Lee hit storyline, was going to come back, but he never expected him to return so quickly! And with his reappearance come more questions about his true identity, origins and motivations. As the new battle of wits begins, the trail leads to Star City and an encounter with its protector, Green Arrow.

Following the Hush books is no easy feat but Batman Hush Returns stands up on it's own. The artwork is top notch and the story line is great. Batman has come a long way and it is good to see the illustration and stories come to life with these new talents.

4.0 out of 5 stars Batman: Hush Returns
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2006
I like this book alot along with the other 2 Hush books. I do have a problem though to me the story is left wide open for another book at the end. The problem with that is DC never puts in there to look forward to another book so you never know if there is a 4th volume of the Hush series coming out. I think the book is good, but when you finish it you feel like you just read all those pages and no clue of the ending you read. I hope there is a 4th volume coming out to follow up this one if anyone here's of one please email me and let me know. Thanks Jeff

3.0 out of 5 stars Too many loose threads, and what's up with the Joker?
Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2006
Verified Purchase
First of all, the plot is interrupted near the end. They essentially split the plot into two- one part, the predominant, 85-90% part before the events of War Games, and a small fraction afterwards. One page briefly describes in broad strokes War Games and then the plot you were following before is fast forwarded months into the future.

Second, they repeat the plot of "The Killing Joke" that seems to finally settle the Joker's origin. He watched in horror as his wife and unborn child die, transforming mentally into the ghoulish clown that he had already become physically. Hush is portrayed as the figure who is the Joker's superior, betraying a wealth of Batman literary tradition.

Joker, Penguin, and Riddler just seem to passively accept that "there's a new kid in town." For those of us who have followed the comic for decades, it undermines the classic villains that helped get Batman to the pinnacle of popularity where he is now. The villains themselves had strange personalities and fixations that made them as interesting as the protagonist.

Hush Returns is a rare disappointment in an exciting and fascinating sea of Batman graphic novels.

Unfortunately for me, by the time I saw all the 1 star reviews it was too late to cancel my order, none the less I thought I would give it a shot since "Hush" was so stellar. Here's another 1 star review. This comic was pure and absolute drivel. I can't believe DC green lit this project to follow "Hush". This comic was a lot of filler with no substance. The story, artwork and panel progression were amateurish at best. A refund would be in order at this point.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hush Came Back From The Dead For THIS?!?!
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2010
Well, Hush does indeed appear to have returned. Hush was a villain from an excellent story arc by Jeff Loeb and Jim Lee. It was a whodunit tale that was only semi resolved at the end but that didn't mean that Loeb intended for there to be a follow up. Hush Returns has absolutely none of the fun and mystery of the Loeb story nor the fantastic art of Lee. AJ Lieberman's story is a total mess that never seems to find its focus. Hush spends the entire book trying to take revenge on the Riddler for his previous betrayal but the Joker is protecting him because the Riddler knows the name of the man who killed his wife. Wife you say? When did the Joker have a wife? Hush Returns makes multiple references to Alan Moore classic story `The Killing Joke' including the part where Jack, prior to becoming the Joker, has a pregnant wife. Batman is all filled with angst over Hush being back; meanwhile Hush is kicking around the Bat's rogue gallery.

I'm going to restrict my review to just a few things in the story that REALLY jumped out at me. First of all the treatment of Green Arrow is HORRIBLE. Back in the seventies DC comics decided to change GA from the clean cut but ultimately bland hero into a goateed liberal reactionary. It seemed like he was generally written by people who hate liberals because rather than having justifiable indignation he was often little more than a sanctimonious ass. As bad as it sometimes got THIS is the worst portrayal of Green Arrow I have ever seen. Not only is he completely unhinged as he screams at Batman for allowing a cop to die (which was utterly not Batman's fault) but he now appears to be homicidal, attempting to kill both Prometheus and Hush. He assaults Prometheus so badly that it takes extraordinary measures on the part of Hush to save his life and when Arrow finds out he DIDN'T kill Prometheus he's ANGRY. This isn't Green Arrow the bleeding heart liberal, in this story he's basically a fascist. Which leads me into my second big problem. Why Prometheus?

Hush is told by some low level thug that if he needs help Prometheus is the man to ask but when he finds Prometheus he's being used as a human pin cushion by Green Arrow. Hush manages to rescue Prometheus and takes his mortally wounded carcass back to a hotel room to demonstrate his skills as a surgeon but why? Hush is not exactly a kind hearted soul and is generally singularly obsessed with revenge. He's also absurdly talented at fighting so why would he go to such measures to align himself with someone who just got the ultimate bitch slapping from Green Arrow. His more likely reaction on seeing Prometheus sprouting a half dozen arrows would be to turn around and walk the other way and yet Prometheus becomes a major part of the story despite the fact that he never seems to do anything besides fire a pair of pistols and he couldn't even hit a prone Joker from three feet away. Oh, and Prometheus is the bearer of `THE KEY' even though Hush couldn't care less about that fact. This book actually ends with a long back story on the origin of Prometheus as if any of the readers care. Which leads me into my third big problem. Where is the ending?

DC clearly just crammed some stories together and called it Hush Returns. There is an obvious gap in the stories and the final comic has little to do with the main story besides having Hush and Prometheus in it with the aforementioned origin story. Don't bother with this one. Even if you find it for free it's just a waste of time and sullies the memory of Jeff Loeb's classic story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good until the last part.
Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2019

This book contains Batman Gotham Knights 50,51,52,53,54,55 and 66. The first six comics were really good, but then the story splits and goes into the War Games line. Hush makes two appearances in the War Games books and both do not contribute to the Hush Returns line. Now this is were I became a little annoyed, the Hush Returns storyline continues in Batman Gotham Knights 60 and runs all the way until Gotham Knights 74. The publisher decided to put Gotham Knights 66 in with this story, when the Hush story continues in Gotham Knights 60. I tried to read 66, but could not understand the story as they keep talking about things that happened in Gotham Knights 60-65. All that aside the story was really good and an enjoyable continuation to the Hush story line and I would recommend this book to anybody who likes Hush. I would also recommend Batman Heart of Hush, Streets of Gotham 1 and 3 if you enjoy Hush you will enjoy those books.

The only reason this didn't receive 5 stars is that it was late. However this is a graphic novel that my fiancé has wanted since we got together. Having have gotten it used there was from sticker residue on the back and spine of the book but it all the inside pages were perfectly fine. I also feel like it's a fair price due to the fact that this book is no longer in print.
