Probably one of the biggest disappointments for me with Hush was how much good material they cut from the comic. Which is a shame considering so much of the story revolved around Bruce’s past childhood with Thomas Elliott, Thomas Elliot as a growing villain, and Bruce’s developing relationship with Selina. If you were hardly going to use the source material then why make the film at all? It felt like they pulled away from the comic entirely.

Speaking of this scene, in particular, However, I do believe this set of panels was only in the Trade version of the story and the Deluxe Edition. It speaks and shows both the intimacy and vulnerability of Bruce by choosing to bring Selina into his life and most importantly, the Cave. His “most private place.” But the most powerful moment of the scene has to be when Selina asks Alfred what he really thinks of her. And Alfred, who could probably come up with a million different responses and explanations for why she isn’t a good person, instead says, “I think the world of you.” I know having the kids opinion on the relationship is important, but I think Alfred’s opinion is the one who matters the most. It is he who raised Bruce. It is he who has lived the most and seen all there is to see. Millions of people in the world and he thinks exactly that for this individual. Going as far as to speak the same for Bruce, though he may be shy and insecure about saying it himself.

It’s heartbreaking to me that such an intimate moment between them was replaced with a cheap after-sex scene between Bruce and Selina. These panels hold so much weight for the characters during a time when they were (I believe) very vulnerable and trying to figure things out. A lot of people go through their life trying to seek the approval of others. Yet here, it is shown how much love Selina already has in her life, just for simply being herself.

Just finished Batman: Hush the animated movie. What are your thoughts on it?

Alright, everyone. Here we go:

Batman: Hush Movie Full review

To begin, as I’ve stated here previously, Batman: Hush is a very important story to me. It was the first Batman comic that I ever read many years ago. In the sixteen years since its original publication it has undergone at least nine different editions and is still one of the most recommended and critically praised Batman stories of the modern era. It was the starting point for many people in the Batman fandom, and I still believe that it is the most pinnacle story regarding Batman and Catwoman’s relationship. The fact that it’s still so influential, nearly twenty years later, in indicative of its importance and merit.

When DC Comics announced last summer that they were officially making Hush into an animated movie I was happy, but I cannot say that I was excited. This was due to unrelated factors that were happening simultaneous to its announcement that obliterated my faith in DC Comics as a whole. You can imagine my dismay when I learned that instead of creating a direct adaptation, in the same vein as Frank Miller’s The Dark Knight Returns and Year One, they would be changing the story to fit in with their current New 52 inspired animated universe.

As anyone whose been following me for a while may have observed; I’m highly critical. I can usually find the good and bad in something and when I’m giving my take on things from my perspective it’s pretty fair and balanced. I was fully aware that the Hush movie made changes to the story and knew going in that I would have to temper my expectations, but I still gave it a chance.

Many will say that the film should be viewed on its own merit, and I generally tend to agree. If not held up to the book the movie is watchable and very easy to enjoy. But it’s an adaptation. An adaptation of one of the best and most popular Batman stories of all time. An ambitious and operatic year long event from Jeph Loeb, and one that I personally hold in the highest regards. Completely divorcing the movie from its source material is unfeasible.

With that said; as I review this movie I will be critiquing as loosely inspiredimagination of the Batman: Hush comic, and only making comparisons to demonstrate potential compromises of the story or the characters.
