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.

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.

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.

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.
