Batman: Hush

I'm really late to the Hush party having just got the novel/collection recently.

Having read the whole thing and really enjoying it (especially the art! Jim lee is still a badass artist!), I found out this movie existed.

Then I watched it.

Wow. What in the actual eff? How do you change the story so drastically??

Sure, marvel has twisted some of the stories in their films, but dc has just gone crazy and not followed anything. And this is why dc will never be as good as marvel because they eff up something that was at their disposal to simply take page by page and simply animate it.

If you haven't read the storyline, do yourself a favor and go buy and read it. It's WAY better than what was portrayed in this film.

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.

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

This wasn't even a proper adaptation of Batman Hush there was so many differences but was still good surprisiingly.

Solid story with some flaws and good consistency. The 2nd half was much better than the 1st half. Very good music composition and visuals. Decent dialouge/writing and excellent voice acting. But what I liked most about this movie was the dynamics between Batman and his allies especially Catwoman which was potrayed excellently.

Overall an enjoyable movie and a recommend watch if you haven't seen the comics cuz otherwise you might be pissed as to how they ruined the adaptation.

Memorable: No. Rewatcable: Unlikely..
