When you say something has it all, you normally overlook a few items. This is not the case when you read Hush and look at all of the elements. Storywise, you have everything you could ask for from Batman and a little more. There are the romantic elements that combine with the prolific Batman elements of yore, not to mention the thing that always hides somewhere inside a great storyline. There are the... more

| 2. Batman: Hush, Vol. 1 |
|
By: Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee
Publisher: DC Comics
August 01, 2004
Having really enjoyed Loeb's Long Halloween and Dark Victory Stories (as well as his work on Marvel's Yellow, Blue and Gray) I was looking forward to HUSH. What a letdown. Quite frankly, very hackneyed . I expected more. Slightly rescued by the great artwork of Jim Lee. ... more

| 3. Batman: Hush, Vol. 2 | 
|
By: Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee
Publisher: DC Comics
November 01, 2004
This volume contains the last 7 of 12 monthly issues created by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee.
Loeb gives us a very good detective story for the Dark Knight. Lee provides some of the greatest artwork ever done.
Vol. 2 is probably better than Vol.1, but keep a lookout for a single volume containing the entire run.
Includes a "Forward" by Jim Lee... more

| 4. Absolute Batman: Hush |
|
By: Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee
Publisher: DC Comics
October 01, 2005
Another Batman epic. Everyone wants to write and draw like Frank Miller. Whatever for?
First the storyline - umpteenth take on Batman's family tragedy with added twist - childhood's friend's family tragedy has the poor boy so warped he hates Bruce Wayne for being the ultimate dilettante while he has to wait for his own mother's death. Not quite sure where this was going after that. All... more

| 5. Batman: Heart of Hush |
|
By: Paul Dini
Publisher: DC Comics
March 16, 2010
The second helping o stories from the A-Team of Paul Dini and Dustin Nguyen collects the five part tie-in with the Batman:RIP, but stands apart from that story as it is supposed to be either cuncurrent or right before the events of RIP.
Dini takes Hush, a villain who had been languishing in bad writer hell for the last few years, and finally makes sense of him. When we last saw Hush... more

How do you follow up Batman: Hush, one of the best Batman stories ever?
Apparently, with one of the worst.
The writing here is atrocious, the story farcical, and the artwork vomit-inducing. Avoid at all costs! This is not good enough to line a bird cage with... more

Publisher: DC Comics
November 01, 1999
I was blown away on how good this story was. I am a big Marvel fan, but have been thinking about breaking out into mainstream DC books. I was not disappointed with this read. It combines Batman's dark precence and a great murder mystery to make a great story. The art also contributes to this as well. This is a great start for anyone who wants to read more Batman, and I am sure I will buy more Batman... more

| 8. All-Star Batman & Robin, The Boy Wonder, Vol. 1 | 
|
By: Frank Miller
Publisher: DC Comics
July 08, 2008
I hated this book. As an adult, I enjoy "edgy" and mature-oriented material, but this story goes too far. In it, Batman is a psychotic sadist who engages in over-the-top behavior the likes of which we have never seen before from DC Comics. For example, Allstar's Batman is a homocidal maniac who murders several police officers. He kidnaps, terrorizes, and beats Robin, a 12-year old boy in this story... more

| 9. Batman: Arkham Asylum (15th Anniversary Edition) |
|
By: Grant Morrison
Publisher: DC Comics
November 01, 2005
While the story holds in this book, the artwork made it hard to follow as well as to understand. It all makes sense when you read the script notes in the back of the book, but while actually reading with the art it becomes confusing and annoying. While the artwork is at times interesting, it does not match the story in the traditional sense. Random characters are thrown into panels where you can't... more

October 01, 2002
It's an outstanding masterpiece that every dark knight friend has to read it. It defines the hero and shows the beginning of a wonderful relationship with Dick Grayson, the first Robin. One of his worst enemies emerges, that is Two-Face of course, while his friendship with Commissioner Gordon is tested. It's a must for every fan, for it's a pure pleasure. So, what are you waiting for? I'll definitely... more
