Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
By now, DC characters have become a kind of repertory company. The trick, for comics creators, is to find roles for them that both exploit their trustworthy familiarity and give them surprising things to do. Loeb (Batman: The Long Halloween) does his bit by supplying a rapidly unfolding plot in which caped crime fighter Batman battles Killer Croc and Poison Ivy. Simultaneously, he's pursuing and lusting after the lusciously amoral Catwoman, whom he teams with in a rousing (though improbably evenly matched) brawl with Superman. Other familiar characters make cameo appearances throughout. But Batman is actually following someone else's script; a mysterious, bandage-swathed observer is toying with him and the others. Readers can guess who this master manipulator is, but the real puzzle is what kind of game he's playing. Loeb is especially talented at underwriting, not crowding the page full of long explanations and snappy patter; after all, readers have known these characters for years. Penciler Lee and inker Williams also know not to overwhelm the action with fussy details: their large panels give plenty of room to let angular, sweeping lines collide in striking designs. It's beautiful stuff. Catwoman has rarely looked so seductive, nor has Batman's heroic but fearsome image often been used so well. This volume-a collection of the first five installments of a 12-part serial-doesn't achieve much emotional closure. Nor does it transform the characters, but that would be unlikely anyway. What it does do is make readers look at Batman and his colleagues with a fresh, enthusiastic eye. (Aug.) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

From The Critics
Batman breaks into a building to rescue a kidnapped boy being held for ransom and encounters his old foe, Killer Croc. During the battle, Catwoman appears and absconds with the cash. When he follows her across Gotham's rooftops, Batman falls victim to old masonry and is seriously injured. While Catwoman delivers the money to Poison Ivy, another longtime Gotham villain, Batman is rescued by the vigilante Huntress and meets a childhood friend. Batman and Catwoman pursue Poison Ivy, who has used Catwoman and Killer Croc to her own ends, to Metropolis, home of Superman. When Ivy uses her plant chemicals to take over Superman's mind, Batman must fight his friend and teammate. The initial volume of the Hush series collects the first five issues of this popular story arc. This story marked the return of fan-favorite Jim Lee to art duties on a monthly comic and created a fresh burst of popularity for the Batman title. Writer Loeb focuses on the basics, pulling in a host of characters familiar to fans and introducing a convenient childhood friend as a plot device. His Batman is rather simplistic in motive, good at fighting but awkward about his feelings for Catwoman, and some readers might wish for a more sophisticated tale befitting the man labeled "The World's Greatest Detective." On the other hand, it is fairly accessible to new readers, and many fans will appreciate it for the art alone. Lee's men are chiseled, and his women are buxom, although generally not to a grotesque degree.

    Got me hook on Batman and Catwoman

    I love this comic series. It had every character to make it special: Superman, Joker, Robin, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Killer Croc and even Lois Lane. It was a stunner of a comic. I loved every moment of the comic. And I enjoyed the love story of Batman and Catwoman. They belong together.

    Batman: Hush

    I just started reading some comics of Marvel and decided to see a DC character everyone knows in action. I picked up something Batman and was surprised to see villians I had seen before and other characters I didn't know existed. The story was great and the artwork amazing. It was great I want to finish it with volume 2 whenever I get the chance.

    BATMAN:HUSH is a big dissapointment!

    Do not buy this! It is a con! It features next to no action and has a cheesy love story between batman and catwoman. It would be good if it wasn't for the cheesy dialogue and poor art work. Trust me and don't buy this book!!!!!!!!

    AN INSPIRED MYSTERY

    The HUSH series, along with NO MAN'S LAND, is definitely the most engaging, creative series to come out of the Batman franchise in nearly a decade! I loved the all-star cast, if you will, of villains, and the plot itself was superb. I can't praise Lee and Williams enough for their incredible artwork. A really great series like this comes along only once in a while, so I thoroughly recommend both volumes. What an adventure!

    One for the ages

    This ranks way up there with the best Batman stories of all time. Loeb rises above the rest in most all he does, and when Jim Lee is thrown in, the results are staggering. A great mystery. This and volume 2 are both beautifully bound.

    Hands down the greatest Batman EVER!!!!! And I mean EVER!!!!

    I own alot of Graphic novels and Trade Paper Backs, somthing like 60 I think? so I have read a bunch. But of all the Comics I have Batman is always my favorite. Batman makes up the majority of my collection and there all good, belive me. but HUSH is set apart from all the others. WAY Apart from all the others. I have never read anything this cool, nor have I read any thing with villain so neat. Hush surpasses The Joker, Two Face, Ra's Al Ghoul or any other villain in the Batman universe. This Story Arc is a Masterpeice of Comics and is the perfect place to start reading comics. I would recomend this story to any one who wants to read somthing truly apart from the norm. Hush embodies what Batman should be, it took what was great with the series and gloryfied it into the perfection. Don't get me wrong Batman is great, all of it. I have never read one I hate. But this is the crowning acheivement of the series It is THE ABSOLUTE must for ANYONE wanting to read a great story, Comic, novel what ever. It is simply Must be read.

    What everyone has been saying about this is true...To put it simply...Batman: Hush rocks!

    Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee = Greatness...it'd say its about time Batman got his due. Batman's monthly title has been rather bland of late and with the addition of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee Batman is finally back where he belongs...above all the rest. When Loeb and Lee had their monthly run this title was ranked number 1 every month in sales and was the top selling title of 2003. Loeb's writing is great, he really gets into the mind of the Dark Knight and explores his many personalities. Jim Lee's art however steals the show...this was how Batman was meant to be drawn...he's grim, gritty, muscular, daunting...in short he's badass. The story is great and although you get only half of the story arc (GO BUY VOLUME 2 AS WELL!) the first half of the arc is a must have. Where else can you see Jim Lee's Batman finally throw the goody goody Superman around like a ragdoll? (It's about time Superman was shown who is boss) Where else can you see Jim Lee's hot Catwoman finally hooking up with Batman? This comic finally brings the Batman back to his roots. The much anticipated Batman: Hush hardcover is here, now get it.

    The best Batman series in years comes to life!!

    If you really want to see what the caped crusader is all about, you must pick up Jim Lee and Joseph Loeb's run on Hush. It is without a doubt, one of the most exciting and fun reads for Batman fans in years. And there is a reason it has been selling out month after month. Besdies the fact that anything Jim Lee draws turns to gold, the writer Joseph Loeb, who has duties on Smallville as well, make this an absolute must title for anyone who likes their comics the old fashioned way, gritty, suspensful, and with knockout writing and drawing that is top notch every month! This hardcover is an excellent start to what is sure to be a back issue hunt for the orignal comics, once you read it!
