Batman #160

H2SH continues following the reveal that Red Hood is working with Hush who begins targeting members of the Bat-Family through any perceived weaknesses or relationships the pair can leverage. Meanwhile, the Riddler (who reveals he's known all their true identities for some time) offers his assistance to the heroes. The comic continues to follow the pattern of the original Hush arc with plenty of characters jammed within its pages, including Robin bringing in Bane, highlighted in some well-drawn panels whether or not their appearance actually moves the plot forward.

In terms of the story, we don't move all that far forward, and we don't get as much Batman as the title of the comic might suggest, but we do get some sibling rivalry between Nightwing and Red Hood and their standoff being interrupted by the Joker leading into the comic's cliffhanger ending. I guess the pair finally someone who can make them team up.
