2025 is set to be a monumental year for DC Comics, with one of the most anticipated projects being the sequel to the beloved Batman saga, Batman: Hush 2.

While DC has explored several Hush-related storylines over the years, Batman: Hush 2 is the first to bring back the original creative team. This eagerly awaited sequel reunites writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, along with inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings.

Hush 2 picks up from the recent epilogue in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition. The Dark Knight uncovers evidence that his childhood friend Tommy Elliot, aka Hush, survived their last confrontation, setting the stage for a new mystery where Hush manipulates Batman's allies and enemies.

The storyline will unfold across Batman #158-163, with the first issue, #158, hitting stores on March 26. Following this arc, DC plans to relaunch the series with a new #1 issue and a fresh costume, ushering in a new era for the Dark Knight under writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez.
