    <body><![CDATA[Growing up as an avid comic book fan I pretty much ignored the DC universe (other than some classics) and always opted for Marvel. As a result, I had no idea of who some of the newer characters were. This, however, did not make this collection any less readable.

    <body><![CDATA[<em>Hush, Vol. 1</em> is a solid outing by Jeph Loeb, and does a decent job of mixing the gritty realism often found in good Batman stories with the whimsical, polished fancy of many DC comics.

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not really sure why this story arc was so popular - I think it was mostly due to Jim Lee being the artist. It's an okay Batman story and does further the larger arcs in his life a bit, but it's not exactly worth the hype in my opinion.

    <body><![CDATA[What made this book for me was Batman knowing Superman -- weaknesses and strengths -- and using them in battle against him. It's not just Bruce Wayne's gadgets that make him a superhero; it's his smarts.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of the best batman graphic novels that I have read. It is a whodunit.  Also for the Batman/Catwoman romance fans out there. Shows all of batman's main villians too. Also remember as a kid, you'll say who would win in a fight against Batman or Superman? Well that answer is in this graphic novel.]]></body>
