DC acaba de matar oficialmente a uno de los villanos más icónicos de Batman

Como gran fanático de Batman, siempre supe que sus enemigos tienden a reaparecer: ¡es prácticamente una broma recurrente! Simplemente no mata, lo que significa que siempre regresan por más. Pero recientemente, uno de sus villanos más aterradores se quedó abajo, y ni siquiera fue Batman quien terminó el trabajo. ¡Es una sorpresa total!

Bien, acabo de leer Batman #163, que es parte de la historia de Batman: H2SH, y ¡guau! ¡Talia Al Ghul en realidad mató a Hush! No lo vi venir.

Ocurre un giro sorprendente durante una pelea entre Batman, Red Hood y Hush. La batalla termina cuando Talia al Ghul, la hija de Ra’s al Ghul y madre del hijo de Bruce Wayne, Damian (que ahora es Robin), le dispara al villano enmascarado en la cabeza.

Justo antes de que Hush reciba un disparo fatal, logra apuñalar a su oponente en el corazón. Esto obliga a Talia a llevarlo al Pozo de Lázaro, un lugar que puede devolverlo a la vida, continuando una larga historia de resurrecciones.

Honestamente, ¡quedé totalmente sorprendido cuando terminó este capítulo! Y aún más sorpresa al descubrir que es solo la mitad del camino de Batman: H2SH. Realmente te hace preguntarte si el plan de Hush para controlar Gotham realmente había terminado cuando él cayó. Incluso si lo fuera, tomará mucho tiempo arreglar el desastre que ha causado; no es algo que se vaya a resolver rápidamente, eso es seguro.

Hush Turned The Bat-Family Against Batman

The story in Batman #163 begins with Bruce Wayne realizing his allies – Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Huntress, and Red Hood – have lost faith in him. This breakdown in trust started with a specific event, which Hush exploited to convince them that Bruce had become corrupt, leading to a surprising and intense pursuit.

To the hero’s astonishment, the Joker arrives to help, bringing with him a dangerous team: Bane, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Clayface, and the Penguin. Poison Ivy, also known as Pamela Isley, explains that each of these villains has a personal grudge against Hush, and are therefore the only ones willing to fight him alongside our hero.

Batman has come to the difficult realization that he can’t depend on the heroes he previously trained. He’s now forced to work with a team comprised of the very criminals he and his allies have incarcerated in places like Arkham Asylum and Blackgate. With Hush’s death likely appeasing those he wronged, Gotham’s main crime-fighting force seems to be reduced to just Batman and Talia al Ghul for the time being.

Batman: H2SH is the highly anticipated sequel to Jeph Loeb’s popular 2003 story, Batman: Hush. It revisits the conflict between Batman and his childhood friend, Thomas Elliott, who has become a dangerous enemy known as Hush, and ignited a battle with Batman’s most notorious foes.

Jim Lee, who currently leads DC Comics as president, publisher, and chief creative officer, originally did the artwork for this story, with Scott Williams inking it. Both artists are back to help Jeph Loeb finish Batman: H2SH, and the second part should be available soon, though an exact release date hasn’t been announced yet.

Batman #163 is now available to find in comic book stores and on most digital reading platforms.
