2025 is poised to be a monumental year for DC Comics, and the most eagerly awaited project is undoubtedly Batman: Hush 2. It's a rare occasion when DC's President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer, Jim Lee, steps in to helm a monthly Batman comic. Starting with March's Batman #158, this sequel directly follows the critically acclaimed Hush saga that originally ran from 2002 to 2004.
DC has unveiled an extended preview of Batman #158, as well as early glimpses of Batman #159 and a variety of stunning variant covers for the Hush 2 series, also known as H2sh. Dive into the full experience with our slideshow gallery below:

While DC has explored several Hush-related narratives since the original concluded, Batman: Hush 2 marks the first time the original creative team has reunited. The legendary collaboration of writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, along with inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings, brings this sequel to life.
Building upon the epilogue in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, Hush 2 introduces a gripping new mystery. The Dark Knight uncovers evidence that his childhood friend Tommy Elliot, aka Hush, survived their last confrontation. This revelation sets the stage for Hush to manipulate Batman's allies and enemies, weaving a complex web of intrigue.
Hush 2 will unfold across Batman #158-163, with the first issue hitting stores on March 26. Following this arc, DC plans to relaunch the series with a new #1 issue and a fresh costume, marking a new era under writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez.
