Batman: Hush is one of the best Batman comics that I have ever read. It is tightly-plotted, with an arc that makes sense from the beginning. Yet, at the same time, it has so much in it, from a potential romance with Catwoman, to exploring Batman's other relationships.The story is about a weird series of occurrences where many of Bruce Wayne/Batman's enemies and friends begin acting various degrees out of character. Mix this in with a mysterious opponent nearly killing him, and you have a mystery worthy of the "world's greatest detective". Someone is behind these disparate events that Batman can't quite connect to each other, but can tell from their timing are related. The foe he faces is a dangerous one, and with the prep time they have had, may have a chance of defeating the Dark Knight.The volume was a thrilling mystery that kept you on the edge of your seats, because you have to wonder how Batman will succeed. At every turn, the behavior of the villains, other heroes, and even Bruce himself, are almost coordinated to help the Big Bad of the story and hurt Batman.The best example I can come up with is to compare it to Season 2 of Arrow where Slade Gordon/Deathstroke is making everyone dance to his tune and the heroes can seemingly not stop him until the very end. So good was his understanding of Ollie and company, and precise his planning. The (different!) villain of this story is similar.Along with the adventure and mystery, the earlier-mentioned exploration of relationships is a good reason to get into this comic. As Selina Kyle/Catwoman lampshades to Bruce, for such a grim stoic guy, he sure has a lot of people in his life.
