Batman: Arkham City’s Hush Storyline Deserved A Bigger Payoff

Hush started out as a daunting villain in the Batman: Arkham series, but the end of his story arc in Batman: Arkham Knight was disappointing. Similar to Paul Dini, Dustin Nguyen, and Derek Fridolfs' Streets of Gotham comics, Batman: Arkham City set up Hush as a compelling supervillain who was successful in surgically altering his face so he looked exactly like Bruce Wayne. However, during the story of Batman: Arkham Knight, Hush used his surgical alterations to commit a lackluster crime that was quickly dealt with.
