Article Summary

Explore the thrilling Silence vs Joker showdown in Batman #158, the Hush sequel by Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb.
Discover how Silence outmaneuvers the Joker, a twist on the Clown Prince of Crime's usual exploits.
Unveil Hush's devious plans using Joker's fate to capture Batman's attention in this gripping saga.
Dive into the art and story of the long-awaited Batman: H2SH, debuting in stores and exclusive release parties.

This week sees Batman #158 by Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair land as part of what Bleeding Cool has been calling Monster Week, alongside two Absolute and two Ultimate titles. And so we get the launch of their twenty year delayed separated sequel to Hush, the imaginatively titled Hush 2 or H2SH. And this time, it seems the Joker has met someone he can't just joke to death.

Indeed, he gets to talk over the Joker, not something the Clown Prince Of Crime is accustomed to.

Yeah, that's going to sting. And I don't mean the knees. Silence works for Hush, and now Hush can get to work. As a world-famous surgeon turned Machiavellian torturing psychopath. Though to be fair this is less than the Joker has done to others…

The Joker is being fridge by Hush and Silence, just to get Batman's attention… to do something not even Batman could, kill the Joker. So… who is on Hush's side? And which of the Batfamily might switch? Batman #158 by Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb, Batman #158 Giant-Size Edition and the Batman #159 black-and-white ashcan are published tomorrow… or tonight at special release parties.
