Batman: Hush

Trust, betrayal...and death.

RELEASED 19 Jul 20191h 22m★ 7.1 TMDB

A mysterious new villain known only as Hush uses a gallery of villains to destroy Batman's crime-fighting career as well as Bruce Wayne's personal life, which has been further complicated by a relationship with Selina Kyle/Catwoman.

Why it matters in DC

Hush's campaign targets Bruce Wayne's personal life alongside Batman's work. The involvement of Selina Kyle makes the mystery especially relevant to viewers following whether intimacy and trust can survive a life organised around secrecy and suspicion.
