2025 promises a blockbuster year for DC Comics, and leading the charge is the highly anticipated sequel: Batman: Hush 2. This isn't just any Batman comic; it's helmed by DC's President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer, Jim Lee, himself. Launching in March with Batman #158, this storyline serves as a direct continuation of the acclaimed Hush saga (2002-2004).
DC has unveiled an extended preview of Batman #158, along with sneak peeks at #159 and a showcase of the diverse variant covers for Hush 2 (or H2sh). Explore the full preview in the gallery below:

Remarkably, Batman: Hush 2 reunites the original creative team: writer Jeph Loeb, artist Jim Lee, inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings. This marks the first time the original team has collaborated on a Hush-centric story since the original concluded.
Building upon the recent epilogue in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, Hush 2 reveals that Batman's childhood nemesis, Tommy Elliot, survived their last encounter. This sets the stage for a new enigma as Hush manipulates Batman's allies and adversaries.
The six-part Hush 2 arc will run through Batman #158-163, beginning March 26th. Following this, DC will relaunch the series with a new #1 issue and a redesigned costume, ushering in a new era for the Dark Knight under writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez.
