Batman: Silence

First I'm going to say that I have read the Batman: Hush comic and really like it. So, after seeing the animated movie I thought it was just ok.

(I'll try not to spoil anything major about the comic or movie just in case someone hasn't read the comic or hasn't seen the movie.)

Also there were many scenes that were added in or changed making me notice it more and comparing it to the comic.

But when I saw the scenes play out just like in the comic I found them awesome to see. Batman and Catwoman's relationship is well done like the comic and Bruce's friendship with Thomas Elliot was also nice seeing but it wasn't built up that much.

I liked how similar to the comic Hush looked and how he sounded but I hate that they changed who Hush's real identity is from the comic.

I recommend reading the Batman: Hush comic, I think the comic is better than the movie.

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

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 !

I knew the character but never read the hush comic. Never even read the sinopsis of the plot before. That made me reaaally like the movie. Even though I was surprised with the reveal because, like I said, I knew the character.

If you are in the same position as me, I really think you'll enjoy it too.

Now for all the people giving 1's and 2's: There is no gray area for you right? If you likey likey one thing is a 10 and if you dont is a 1. Just try to enjoy it without trying to compare it with the comic and enjoy the comic separately.

This whole universe of movies are really good.

I'd have to say that this is one of the better Batman animated films I've seen - and I've seen most.

The story seemed more "adult" (without trying too hard and being too much so), with a more serious tone, but it also had a good balance of darkness and humour. I haven't read the comic or graphic novel so I can't compare it to that, but on it's own I'd have to say that it was well done. The characters were fleshed out enough for me, and the ending wasn't the predictable one I thought it was going to be.

Off the top of my head, the only one I can think of that tops it is Under the Red Hood.
