Hush would be so cool. Now I just hope RS does a big leap on gameplay to get me back into the series that will hopefully feel fresh.

Such bandages could only be possible in the Fox Engine.
The cards are stacked for us getting yet another Batman game this year. I cannot imagine a more boring circumstance.

At least you can talk. Who are you?

Funnily enough, I really enjoyed Hush's part in Arkham City, probably one of my favourite bits of the game.

Hush copies Joker's face, everyone thinks it's Joker. Revealed to be Hush at the end, only for Hush to remove a mask and is actually Joker.

Makes sense, back when Arkham City came out I thought Hush would be in DLC considering how his side mission ended.

Seriously wouldn't put it past them...
That's the name of the comic. It's the thing you can like on Facebook and it apparently posted this.
Would be better than who really is under that mask.

The Hush story arc is as bad, thought.

Hush?

Hush sucks. But I'm sure he'll bring along a ton of other villains to torment Bats, so it'll be okay.

Except this Joker is a clone being manipulated by Ras Al Ghul

He was one of the dangling plot threads alongside Azrael, right?
It would make sense. I'm not a huge fan of the comic book arc but at least, it had a crapload of characters.
They already gave away his real name in AC though and Bruce didn't even blink IIRC, so that would leave a major plot point out. Short of some retcon obviously.

hush had some good moments but overall it seemed like the first two Rocksteady Arkham games: an excuse to have all villains tied into one story.
So it's a perfect fit

They've done face shit with Joker in the past, in the comics.
Far from an impossibility, but I'm inclined to think that Dini (who's probably writing this) can do better.
That said, this rumored news makes it seem like Arkham 4 is going to be less of a conclusion to the Arkham franchise, and simply the next entry. I'm hoping they adapt the Battle for the Cowl storyline and off Bruce, however.
I remember this story arc being so hyped. I got the trades and the first one was pretty good. Then in the second one it all went down the toilet.

Hush is my favourite run, I know a ton of people want a Golden Age game but I would go for a Hush game day one even after the issues with AOrigins!
Oh my!
Hush and more Scarecrow please, the latters sections in Arkham Asylum were the highlights of the series for me
But Hush is sweet, so no issues with him taking the mantle. Hope they throw in some other villains, and no stick with the Bane's/Mr Freeze etc. Great White Shark pls
But if they are tying up AC stuff, then azrael's thingy is surely going to be a large factor.

Hush was terrible. But for some reason Dini seems to love the character.
I know they don't want to repeat villians, but they are just getting more and more obscure here. They might as well just start going supernatural soon, that way we can dig into that other side of batman. I wanna see me some Equinox.

Hush is seriously terrible, but it'll give them an excuse to round up a bunch of bad guys for Batman to face off against.
Can't wait for The Joker to be under those bandages.

Written by Jeph Loeb, what did you expect
I did like the Hush cameo in AC though, and he has potential to be a decent villian.

Or, if they're going to do a bunch of these games, stop using every big name villain in each game yet only to making most of them short side missions
I was gonna make that joke.

Out of all of the rogues they could pick, they pick Hush. Why not The League of Assassins in full? Why no Beyond game?
I had just read The Long Halloween and caught win of the hype around this story arc. Boy was I disappointed. Also everything else I have read by Loeb pretty much sucked.
