I thought there used to be a comics section, but i didnt see it, so maybe this is the right forum.

I just read the Batman: Hush, i really enjoyed it. I read the long holloween and dark victory before i read hush. I was just wondering is there any comics after the hush run? And does catwoman and batman ever get together lol?

I don't know (Hush was pretty good, by the way ), but the comics section is here (and more specifically, here is the DC part).

Yeah it was kind of confusing for me in parts, but that's proably just because I'm not a huge batman afficianado. And the mods will probably move this to the comics section.

edit: Drunky beat me to it

Hush was just a 12 issue long arc of the regular Batman title. There's tons that comes after it(it's still an on-going title). It's not a stand alone like Loeb's other work on Batman.

No, it was because it's full of inconsistencies and plot holes.

To the OP: There is at least one arc that follows up Hush directly (I think Hush Returns, but don't quote me) in Gotham Knights. It wasn't written by Loeb or drawn by Lee, so many people ignored it. The basic purpose, as I know it, of of the story is to deal with all the head-scratching moments that should result over the story and to fill in all the sticky parts. I honestly have no idea if it accomplished what it set out to do... I'm of the opinion that a truly good story shouldn't have needed such a companion.

A few things were changed/retconned later on. Supposedly, it really is Jason Todd that Batman fights in the graveyard (he just switched places with Clayface at some point, and the World's Greatest Detective never noticed), and the Riddler has now forgotten that Batman is Bruce Wayne (which negates probably my favorite scene of Hush, but was pretty inevitable).

And a quick note about my Hush-hate: My main fault with the story is that I think it should have been longer. I think that Loeb tried to cram a story that could have filled at least 15 issues into 12, and left out/ignored important details in order to keep the story moving. I don't think it's a BAD story, I just charge that it could/should have been BETTER, especially given the caliber of the creative team.

It wouldn't matter if they did; whenever a new creative team takes over, they just "retcon" all past events out of existence. Ex: in the mid-1980's Batman books, Batman and Catwoman were partners (in multiple senses, wink wink nudge nudge). Joker kidnapped (catnapped?) Catwoman and "turned her evil" again in a "cliffhanger" ending. The next issue? New creative team, all bets are off, then Crisis occurs, the Batman titles get rebooted*, please ignore everything that just happened for all of the characters' prior history. Lather, rinse, repeat every six to ten years.

Which is another reason why I'm not into current comics all that much.

* The post-Crisis Batman: Year One spelled the end of the ultra-hot "skin-tight purple outfit Catwoman" and the start of "leather bondage sl*t Catwoman"

Gimme back my book!

Jeph Loeb: Building a career on the backs of artists far more talented at their craft than he is at his.

Hush was the story that redefined my love of Batman after a while away from comics. Jim Lee's Batman is pretty much THE Batman for me, anymore.

Yeah, the end is great where Batman's grandma goes, '...now Bruce, you hush!' This is where Batman learned to be quiet and sneak up on people...from his grandma!

I thought the Hush storyline was good but I may have liked it more than I would have because I loved Long Halloween and I liked Dark Victory.It was still good.I loved that the Riddler found out who Batman was and was the mastermind behind it all.I love the whole "I used to be somebody in this town."line because I'm a fan of guys like him and some others that start out awesome and because writers think their too old fashioned or goofy looking for today they use them as jokes when most of those characters could be very good even by todays standards if written correctly.I'm also sitting here thinking about Electro from Spiderman while typing this.
