The Dark Knight vs. The Bandaged Man: Round 3, Wednesday, March 24, 2010
I have a number of problems with "Batman: Hush". It is, at best, an average Bat-story that happens to have very good artwork. One of my main problems was the titular villain. Writer Jeph Loeb and Artist Jim Lee simply failed to create an engaging villain. His motivations for launching his scheme were weak and cliched. To me, Hush was a one-trick pony who should have stayed dead, but naturally, DC milked the cash cow with "Hush Returns". So when Paul Dini revealed that he had plans for Hush, I was worried, even with Dini's knack for characterization. Thankfully, I was more or less wrong.
The book opens in the days leading up to the events of "Batman: RIP" and essentially serves as Dini's final storyline for Detective Comics (though elements have been continued through the current Batman: Streets of Gotham and Gotham City Sirens books). Hush has resurfaced in Gotham and is ready for Round 3 with the Dark Knight. However, his plans for revenge against Batman are accelerated by the Black Glove's own campaign against the pointy-eared one. Parallel to this new campaign is a re-examination of Hush's childhood and his transformation into the bandaged villain. Dini doesn't work miracles, but he does manage to inject some needed complexity into the character by expanding on the flashbacks from "Batman: Hush". He even manages to tie in elements from his earlier stories and give a sense of unity to his entire tenure on Detective comics. His characterization of Batman and the world of Gotham is spot on, from a perfect summation of his relationship with Selina Kyle to an absolutely hilarious Joker cameo. Artist Dustin Nguyen is also right at home with his style which is equal parts Scott McDaniel and Mike Mignola.
Ultimately, Heart of Hush is another worthwhile outing from Paul Dini and Company.

Just throwing in my five stars, Friday, March 19, 2010
At this point most of us know what this story is about and how great it is. So I'm not going to bother reviewing it in detail like i usually do. As the title of the review says, I'm just throwing my five stars.
