Batman: Hush - 3 1/2 stars

DC really have been pumping out animated “Batman” movies like there is no tomorrow. Some have been really good such as the “Dark Knight Returns” films and others have been terrible such as “Under The Red Hood” and “The Killing Joke”. “Batman: Hush” is another decent one that gives you a lot of action with several of Batman’s foes.

Batman finds himself up against a sinister new foe that seems to know everything about him. Hush has come to Gotham and has several of Batman’s worst foes including Poison Ivy, Scarecrow and Harley Quinn doing his bidding. Also, Batman is trying to rekindle his relationship with a reformed Catwoman, who may be a powerful asset in the fight against this new enemy.

I was actually surprised by just how many Batman villains get crammed into this one. Bane and Poison Ivy are handled quite well but I cannot help but feel the sections with the Joker and some of the other villains feel a little rushed. Hush is an interesting villain and some changes have been made from the source material to keep comic book fans guessing. Superman even makes an appearance in here. The animation on the characters is okay. It’s not got the wonderful look of “Batman: The Animated Series” nor is it as stylish as something such as “Batman Ninja” but it’s perfectly acceptable.

“Batman: Hush” is a fun movie for those that really love the Batman character and want to see him do battle with many of his great villains. I’m not a comic book reader myself but from what I’ve heard, some fans were irritated by the fact this film throws in new twists. However, I think what is on offer is entertaining and done well regardless so hope fans can just enjoy the new story for what it is.
