Hmmm. The plot has potential. I’m definitely going to read volume two, but I’m irritated with how the women are drawn so seductively. It’s such an irksome aspect in comics. Also: Superdog sniffing out Poison Ivy? Talk about lazy writing.

Me encantó. Amé que Batman se quedara re tontuelo después de que Selena lo besó. Es muy tierno 😍
Y los gráficos son hermosos.

En realidad esta es una relectura del cómic y la verdad es que a pesar de los años que han pasado sigue siendo una maravilla. Tenemos un guión bien construido que nos va dando pequeñas pinceladas de información mientras vemos pasar por sus páginas a algunos de los villanos más importantes de Batman. El dibujo de Jim Lee, pocos dibujantes como este pueden crear escenas de lucha tan impactantes sin que se pierda ni un solo detalle de lo que está ocurriendo.
Un cómic de los que merece estar en las estanterías de cualquier aficionado.

It's maybe unfair to rate/review this book before reading the entire series, but I think that it's fair and responsible to share how I feel after the first read. This book is doing some wonderful things, but also some very odd, seemingly inconsistent things. On the plus side, I really enjoy this art, and appreciate this visual version of Catwoman. This version has gone on to appear in the Arkham City game, and it is the most practical, but still sexy version of her. I also like Batman's weakness over her. Finally, he is struggling (though quite heavy-handedly) with being a lone wolf. He's understanding his weaknesses and learning the strengths of having help in the form of Oracle, Catwoman, Alfred, Tommy, Superman, and (ridiculously) Superdog. Good stuff.
On the other hand, the cramming of characters in the comic is beginning to seem silly. Superdog is stupid without explanation. At this point, the story seems like it is right at the point that if another character is added, the glass will overflow. Given the pace of this story, I don't see how more won't be added. The tension with Tommy is now enough to carry the rest of the story, but I don't see the story letting off the throttle. Especially when The Joker is always a possibility. I want to like this story more, because it is highly regarded, but right now I only like it enough to read volume 2.

Ultimately flawed in terms of plot, but still very impressive. One of the better superhero based graphic novels I've read.
Batman: Hush was simply phenomenal. The story is deep and satisfying and the artwork jumps off the page.
It features the usual cast of Batman villains -- Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, The Joker and Harley Quinn, Two-Face, Raz Ah Guhl, The Riddler, and Clayface -- and introduces a new villain, Hush. It also delves into an edgy romance between Batman and Catwoman.
Hush made it very clear to me that Jeph Loeb is my favorite Batman author. This graphic novel is a must read for any Batman fan.
