While DC has explored various Hush-related narratives in the years following the original series, "Batman: Hush 2" marks the first time the original creative team has come together for a sequel. Writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, alongside inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings, are back to weave another thrilling tale.

Building on the recent epilogue featured in the "Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition," Hush 2 introduces a gripping new mystery. The Dark Knight uncovers evidence that his childhood friend, Tommy Elliot, survived their last confrontation, setting the stage for Hush to manipulate Batman's allies and enemies in unforeseen ways.

Fans can expect "Hush 2" to unfold across Batman #158-163, with the first issue hitting stores on March 26. Following this arc, DC plans to relaunch the series with a fresh #1 issue and a new costume, ushering in a new era for the Dark Knight under the creative direction of writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez.
