Batman: Hush is one of the most successful DC Comics of all time, and next year will see the dynamite creative team of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee return for the sequel Hush 2, which is being stylized as H2sh. DC has released the first look at the artwork for the upcoming story, as fans get to see what one of the most anticipated releases of next year will look like.
Releasing on March 25th, 2025, DC’s details about what the story will be about are slim. What fans do know is that Hush 2 will begin in Batman #158 and will reunite the classic Hush team of Loeb, Lee, Scott Williams, Alex Sinclair, and Richard Starkings.
To celebrate the occasion, DC is pulling out all the stops, with Batman #158 receiving variant covers from the likes of Gabrielle Dell’Otto, J. Scott Campbell, Dan Mora, Sean Murphy and more.

The Sequel Is Stylized as Batman: H2sh
Set to run through Batman #158-163, the first six issues will be only the first half of the overall Hush 2 saga, with the story finishing up with another six issues in 2026. DC previously teased a sequel all the way back in the Batman: Hush 20th Anniversary Edition trade paperback, which contained a brand-new coda that showed how Thomas Elliot / Hush survived the end of the original story. The next preview came at the end of 2025’s Justice League Unlimited #1 (by Mark Waid and Dan Mora), as Hush assembled paper dolls of the various heroes and villains of Gotham City and arranged them cryptically on a map while quoting Aristotle.
