Absolute Batman: Hush by Jeph Loeb

_ottavia_'s review against another edition

2.0

As everybody can notice I have had no time to read since a few months, and is gonna be like that for a few months more. It's something that doesn't bother me because I'm enjoying greatly my life at the moment. I've plainly of things to do and new people to meet. But I've been struggling to find something to read in the few free moments that I have, so I decided to read some comics. Short and easy, I can finish them in few hours.
Unfortunately I didn't start well: hoping to find something original I didn't get surprised or impressed. Still, I love Batman and his world and I'm sure that I just have to try again.

Personal raiting: 7.5/10
General raiting: 7/10


I think it was a pretty entertaining reading with a lot of classic-batman characters, and in my opinion some great dialogues. The art style wasn't my favorite, but it was nice.
Even considering its not a short story, there was this point where I felt like it was never gonna end, and the plot twists became plain.
So it's a solid 7 to me; I liked it, but it didin't blew me away

Worth a read. "Hush" is an intriguing new character, and seeing Batman struggling with a new villain is always interesting. Hush is a very well-written character that brings a breath of fresh air to the Batman mythos.
Props to Jeph Loeb for exploring Bruce's past with such subtlety and for offering us The "Opera" issue, which is nothing short of a dramatic masterpiece. However, the story arc was way too long and quite anti-climatic.

Truly Tests Batman’s detective skills. Someone has taught all of Bruces greatest villains how to take Batman out. Eventually, it is revealed to be a co-operation between the Riddler and Bruce’s childhood friend Thomas Elliott, who was thought to be dead.
