Batman: Hush

Come on😔! Not as good as the graphic novel by Loeb and Lee. The cliffhanger changed. Didn't match to the majestic and grand level of the graphic novel

I enjoyed this adaption of the Batman: Hush storyline. How Bruce Wayne was tested by a new villain in town who has a scheme way bigger than anyone before him.

We see different sides of Batman when he gets romantically involved with Selina Kyle who has been know for a long time to be one of his enemies. That relationship is the heart of this adaption and it works out very well even if the change made to the role of Bruce's longtime friend, Thomas Elliot, may turn off some fans of the graphic novel.

We get a lot of bloody fight scenes with a great amount of the beloved Batman villains and the mystery about who this Hush is progresses after each encounter to keep your interest. I never felt bored.

I've only read the novel once and I'm aware of the fact that the writers had to make some changes to make the adaption fit into the current DCAU then I think it still has the essence of what the original had.

Here's my review of Batman: Hush. So 'Hush' is the new addition in the DC animated universe or whatever it's called these days. People say that Hush is one of the greatest Batman stories ever told . I strongly disagree. Hush is one of the greatest stories ever told . But did this adaptation get it right ? NOPE. Why ? Because it's not an adaptation like it was marketed to be. For those of you who've been following the animated Batman movies in the dcau, you know that the movies take inspiration from the source material but don't adapt them entirely unlike standalone movies such as Under the red hood and dark Knight returns which adapt the books entirely . For example one of this movies prequels 'Batman v Robin' borrowed heavily from Scott Snyder's book 'Court of Owls' . This movie does the same but unlike 'Batman v Robin' it was marketed as an adaptation of Hush when it was just another movie in the Batman continuity of the dcau . However there were a lot of things I liked in this movie , like the animation which is very fluid for something handdrawn , been a fan of it since Son of Batman. Jason o Mara reprises his role as the voice of Batman and I've been a fan of the voice since the first one . Selina Kyle voiced by Cameron from House Md was great. Never been a fan of the older incarnations of the animated Catwoman , but this one was great and had amazing chemistry with Batman as well. Speaking of animated incarnations , the joker in this movie has the worst art design ever ! And I was really dissapointed , because ever since they started adapting the new 52 artstyle for animation I was always looking forward to how the Joker was going to look and they screwed it up . He even sounds Scottish in this movie , they could've gotten Mark Hamill's or at least Troy Baker or John DiMaggio for the part to save the character. In the end , Hush is not the adaptation it was marketed to be , and if you're someone who hasn't read the book and has been following the animated DC movies , you might actually enjoy it !

A different story arc this time. Execution of the story was good, the characterization was good, casting was fine, the direction was cool. The villain was quite fitting. And the ending of the movie was not purely satisfying but fine. An overall entertaining flick. DC animated universe never let's me down.

The hush reveal is very anti climactic in this one. The comicbook version how ever was legendary. Who plays arkham games know who the real hush is. If we get past the ending overall a great movie. But that twist in the movie is dissapointing.
