While DC has explored various Hush-related storylines since the original series concluded, Batman: Hush 2 marks the first time the original creative team has reunited. This sequel brings back the powerhouse team of writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, joined by inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings.

Building on the recent epilogue featured in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, Hush 2 introduces a gripping new mystery.

Following this arc, DC plans to relaunch the series with a new #1 issue and a new costume for the Caped Crusader, heralding a new era under the guidance of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez.
