Steve's Reviews > Batman: Heart of Hush

I'll be honest, I really hated this story arc. It was so cliche, so melodramatic it was just too much to bear.

The first half with Scarecrow and the boy was excellent, but as soon as Hush enacted his 'master plan' things just got really rushed and it wasn't exciting at all.

I prefer Hush to be an enigmatic villain attacking from the behind the curtains, not wielding two guns like Two-Face.

They didn't even go so far as to explain the drugged staff members in Hush's hospital, and that cheesy ending with Catwoman in a coma was right out of a crappy romantic comedy.

The flashbacks were just too much, going into some detail to explain things is fine, but there were like at least 5 of them and by that time it just gets to be way too much. You start losing the mysterious of the character if you lay out too much of their past all at one time.

I am shocked with Paul Dini and this story arc, I feel its not his best work and I hope to see better stories from him in Streets of Gotham.
