Batman: Hush 2 Preview Art Revealed by DC Comics

2025 promises a blockbuster year for DC Comics, and arguably the most anticipated project is the highly-anticipated sequel: Batman: Hush 2. It's a significant event—Jim Lee, DC's President, Publisher, and Chief Creative Officer, helming a monthly Batman comic. 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 sneak peeks at Batman #159 and its diverse variant covers for Hush 2 (or H2sh, for those who prefer). Explore these previews in the slideshow below:

Remarkably, Batman: Hush 2 marks the first sequel handled by the original creative team since the original concluded. Writer Jeph Loeb and artist Jim Lee reunite, joined by inker Scott Williams, colorist Alex Sinclair, and letterer Richard Starkings.

Building upon the recent epilogue in Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition, the Dark Knight uncovers evidence that his childhood nemesis, Tommy Elliot, survived their final confrontation. This sets the stage for a new enigma as Hush manipulates Batman's allies and adversaries.

Hush 2 unfolds across Batman #158-163, with #158 hitting shelves March 26th. DC will subsequently relaunch the series with a new #1 issue and costume, as writer Matt Fraction and artist Jorge Jimenez usher in a fresh chapter for the Dark Knight.
