While DC has explored various Hush-related narratives over the years, "Batman: Hush 2" marks the first time the original creative team is reuniting for a sequel. The legendary team of writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, joined by inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings, are back to continue the story.

Building on the recent epilogue from the "Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition," "Hush 2" introduces a new mystery. Batman has uncovered evidence that his childhood friend, Tommy Elliot, survived their last confrontation. This revelation sets the stage for Hush to manipulate the Dark Knight's allies and enemies, creating a web of intrigue and suspense.

"Hush 2" will unfold across Batman issues #158-163, with the first issue, #158, hitting stores on March 26. Following the conclusion of "Hush 2," DC plans to relaunch the series with a new #1 issue and a fresh costume, marking a new era for the Dark Knight under the guidance of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez.
