5 out of 5 starsJeph Loeb + Jim Lee = Great Batman Novel
With great story & art work, Loeb & Lee bring Batman to the masses. Hush's story is one that sturs up memories for Bruce of Jason Todd (the 2nd Robin) that died at the hands of the Joker years earlier. With appearances by Joker, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, the Riddler, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Superman, & Huntress this is one you shouldn't miss.



3 out of 5 starsGreat art, bad story
I bought this one mainly because Jim Lee illustrated it, and that's about all it's worth. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh, but the plot is pretty lame. Fortunately, it's better than All-Star Batman and Robin.



4 out of 5 starsAverage story with great art
I still remember collecting this story on a monthly basis when it first came out, and just how excited I was. However, once the initial hype wears off, the story doesn't really live up to the epic scale it set up for itself. The mystery villain is very boring, and you can't help but feel that the whole story was just an excuse to showcase Jim Lee's art.

That being said, the book is worth getting if only for Lee's art alone. Its gorgeous, especially as presented on these oversized pages. His women tend to all look the same, but that's easy to ignore when you take in the rest of the visuals. Pretty much all the major players of the Bat-verse make an appearance in this story (with the notable exception of Batgirl) and some of the character interactions make up for the weak story. Fans of the Batman/Catwoman relationship are going to love this arc, and there's some nice interaction between Batman and Nightwing in chapter 8, and with Gordon in chapter 7.

Over all, it's certainly an entertaining storyline (more so than the lackluster "War Games" and all related crap that came after this)whose strengths lie in the artwork. Purchase it if you just want to read a comic that doesn't require you to think too hard.



5 out of 5 starsGreat Gift
My 21 year old son thanked me more than once for this set. He read it cover to cover pratically non-stop.



5 out of 5 starsThe Best of Batman
This is simply the best Batman graphic novel. The artwork is amazing and the story is fun. It pays homage to past great moments in Batman history while it also introduces a new villain and implaments a few key changes. A must for all Batman fans.
