Detective Comics #852 - DC


Last issue, and the end of the Batman RIP storyline, showed us that Hush has fallen, and . . . Catwoman was more than willing to drive the nails into the coffin. Once she healed she used every tool in her handbag to ruin, discredit, and leave Hush without an option in the world. But . . he still has one thing that he can use to his advantage. He still looks like Bruce Wayne. Well . . not enough to fool those that are close to him, but . . good enough to fool the people that work for him around the globe. So he's decided to use that and build his new life off the teet of Wayne Industries. He makes a couple of big scores, but then decides to lay low so that he doesn't draw to much attention to himself. I'm guessing though . . he doesn't realize that neither the Batman or Bruce Wayne have been seen in Gotham since their little debacle on the river. Because he's definitely avoiding Gotham. Unfortunately . . for him . . the latest stop on his trip is Vietnam. While there he gets captured by pirates, and . . . on the last page, we find out that they're lead by none other than Catwoman. We don't know yet if he's fooled her with his Bruce Wayne look, or if she knows that he's Thomas Elliot. We'll find out in Batman #685. I like the way that they're doing these 2 part stories that are bouncing back and forth between Batman and Detective. Paul Dini handles this one. Personally, when they have this Battle for the Cowl that's coming up . . I'm kind of thinking that Hush is going to be a contender. I may be way off base with that guess, but . . I've got a felling. Dustin Nguyen does the pencils for this issue. They're fabulous. I can't wait to see what Catwoman does with her tender morsel.
