Batman #162

The H2SH storyline continues as Hush's machinations have turned the Bat-Family against Batman. It's not really explained how he did that in this issue, but it's happened enough times over the years that even if you are picking up this issue without reading the larger storyline it's easy enough to go with the flow. The art is good, the yellow oval Bat-symbol is back, and we get plenty of Bat-on-Bat action.

The comic is really about the Bat-Family, with the Riddler's help oddly enough, confronting Batman, and the Dark Knight Detective not allowing them to slow him down on his quest to find Hush and put an end to all of this. We get Batman on the fly thinking about each member of the family and how best to disarm them without a more prolonged fight. We get Jason hopping in on Team Hush to cause more distraction, and we get another move by Hush forcing a sacrifice by Batman leading the Caped Crusader out of the frying pan and into the fire.
