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.

beyond excellent, i was hooked for every page! the premise that so many villains and bat family were involved seemed to be overwhelming at first but it was done so flawlessly.

A great Batman story. I thought the art and exploration of Batman’s relationships were really great here. The overall mystery of Hush underwhelmed me, but was still enjoyable.
