However, before that, the iconic hero will face off against a familiar foe in the upcoming comic book series <em><a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/nycc-dc-comics-absolute-vertigo-2000514145\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Batman: Hush 2<\/a><\/em> (also referred to as <em>H2SH<\/em> in the logo).<\/p>\n<p>The story arc, which spans 12 issues, will be written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by Jim Lee, with Scott Williams handling the inks and Richard Starkings providing the lettering. The original <em>Hush<\/em> series, released in 2002, was widely acclaimed, and the recent trailer for the sequel aims to generate excitement through animated panels of Lee and Williams&#8217; artwork. As for the plot of <em>Hush 2<\/em>, it involves Batman confronting his childhood friend-turned-nemesis Tommy Elliott once again, but Loeb and Lee are keeping the details under wraps. Previously, Loeb hinted that this sequel would &#8220;resolve the Hush saga once and for all,&#8221; although in the world of comics, such statements should be taken with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Batman: H2SH - Trailer | DC\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rJsEtmVP_14?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Batman: H2SH - Trailer | DC\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rJsEtmVP_14?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/general-news\/batman-hush-trailer-dc-jim-lee-1236150729\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/absolute-batman-interview-scott-snyder-nick-dragotta-design-batsuit-axe-gotham-2000506366\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Absolute Batman<\/em><\/a> was the top-selling comic book of 2024, and DC is hoping that <em>Hush 2<\/em> will be one of the best-selling books of 2025.
