2025 promises to be a monumental year for DC Comics, and at the forefront is the highly anticipated sequel, Batman: Hush 2. It's a significant event—DC's President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer, Jim Lee, helming a monthly Batman comic is not commonplace. Launching in March's 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 early looks at Batman #159 and a showcase of the numerous variant covers for Hush 2 (or H2sh, for the creatively inclined). Explore these in the gallery below:

Remarkably, Batman: Hush 2 reunites the original creative team: writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee, alongside 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 finds the Dark Knight uncovering evidence that his childhood friend, Tommy Elliot, survived their final confrontation. This revelation sets the stage for a new mystery as Hush manipulates Batman's allies and enemies.

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