The colors are drained and the shadows come alive in this stark take on a dark classic! Presented in its original pencils and ink artwork by industry legend Jim Lee, BATMAN NOIR: HUSH highlights the grim, gritty atmosphere of Batman and Gotham City, and pits the Dark Knight against a city overrun with its legendary villains. As the likes of the Joker, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy and more throw Batman’s life into chaos, little do they know they have become pawns to the enigmatic Hush in an elaborate game of revenge against Bruce Wayne. This truly unforgettable story by two of comics’ top talents, writer Jeph Loeb (BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN, SUPERMAN/BATMAN) and artist Jim Lee (JUSTICE LEAGUE: ORIGINS, SUPERMAN UNCHAINED), presents the Caped Crusader’s most personal case yet in stark black and white! Collects BATMAN #609-619 in black and white.
Gotham City is plagued with crime and corruption in places high and low, but one man has taken a stand against evil in all its forms: the dark avenger known as Batman. The Dark Knight¿s life has been tumultous since his one-time friend Tommy Elliott was revealed to be the Batman-hating master criminal, Hush. But Elliott is dead - or is he? The Caped Crusader finds himself once more in the sights of his most fearsome foe... but this time Hush is out to destroy everything - and everyone - close to the Batman. With Catwoman¿s life on the line, can Hush finally be stopped?
