DC Reveals 'Batman: Hush 2' Preview Art

2025 is shaping up to be a monumental year for DC Comics, and few projects are as anticipated as the long-awaited Batman: Hush 2. It's a significant event: DC's President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer, Jim Lee, is helming a monthly Batman comic. Launching in March's Batman #158, this storyline serves as a direct sequel to the acclaimed Hush saga (2002-2004).

DC has unveiled an extended preview of Batman #158, offering early looks at Batman #159 and showcasing the numerous variant covers for Hush 2 (or H2sh, for the stylistically inclined). Explore the full preview in the gallery below:

Remarkably, Batman: Hush 2 reunites the original creative team. Writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee return, joined once again by inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings. This marks the first time the original team has collaborated on a Hush-centric storyline since the original concluded.

Building upon the recent epilogue in Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, Hush 2 reveals that the Dark Knight has uncovered evidence of Tommy Elliot's survival after their final confrontation. This sets the stage for a new mystery as Hush manipulates Batman's allies and enemies.

Hush 2 will unfold across Batman #158-163, with #158 hitting shelves March 26th. Following this arc, 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.
