BATWOMAN Season 1 Will Feature The Deadly Batman Villain Hush And A Burt Ward Cameo

@BlackBeltJones -
To be fair, they have pulled off these types of villains really well in the past. Merlyn, Zoom, Reverse Flash, Prometheus, Deathstroke, ETC. They are also really good with mysteries.

The problem is that the main villain of the season is going to be Alice, so how are they doing Hush?

Is this going to be a Cayden James/Ricardo Diaz situation? Or will Hush be a villain of the week like Komodo and Godspeed?

@BlackBeltJones -
How so? Was the wording confusing?

"Is this going to be a Cayden James/Ricardo Diaz situation?"

In other words - is Hush going to be the main villain of the first half of the season, while Alice takes over the second half.

Other examples of this are Brother Blood/Deathstroke (Arrow Season 2) and Ricardo Diaz/Emiko Queen (Season 7).

"Or will Hush be a villain of the week like Komodo and Godspeed?"

Komodo and Godspeed were villains with major arcs in the comics (like Hush) that were relegated to single-episode appearances in the CW shows.

@tmp3 - No sir HBO is giving you Watchmen, don't you give them credit for that.

@LongMayHeReign - hbo is owned byWB so its DCTV..

@Krav - I know the chain of command but look at all the other DCTV shows then look at Watchmen, it's night and day.

@LongMayHeReign - yeah i get that , titans was dark too

@zachman2013 - Well, don't worry. At least WB still has Cavill as Superman. 😉

Hush is a great character. He was just wasted in the Arkham games.

Read Heart of Hush, Hush Money, House of Hush, Batman Eternal, and Batman Beyond: Hush Beyond. All great stories that make good use of the character.

Even Jeph Loeb's Batman: Hush (the set-up for the character) isn't nearly as bad as some people make it out to be. The only bad Hush stories are Hush Returns, Preludes to the Wedding, and his side mission in Arkham Knight.

@FishyZombie -
If the only thing you have read is the Jeph Loeb story, you clearly haven't read enough. He was barely in it, it only explained the bare minimum of his backstory, and it was more about the mystery than anything else. It didn't do anything with Hush but set him up for future stories.

There's a lot more to it than him being one of Bruce's friends who suddenly tried to kill his parents just to take their money.

House of Hush by Paul Dini is considered the definitive Hush story, and it's the one that explained his backstory and made him a central character in the Batman mythos. It also served as the template for all of his future appearances.

Hush is a dangerous criminal mastermind with one of the most tragic and f**ked up backstories in Batman's recent rogues gallery. His relationship to Bruce is also complex and interesting, as is his mental instability.

Besides Heart of Hush, I would especially recommend the sequel House of Hush and Batman Eternal. Steer clear of Hush Returns (which DC mostly ignores and has never collected in its entirety) and the Preludes to the Wedding: Nightwing vs. Hush one-shot, though. If you dislike Jeph Loeb's run, those two abominations are much worse.

@FishyZombie - 
Based on what? He didn't even make a proper appearance in that story until the very end, and even then, they barely explained his origin.

I would read up on the character instead of making assumptions based on an introductory story where he was a glorified blank slate.

If you don't want to read House of Hush (which explained his backstory), or any comic that he's actually in, then ask around. The Jeph Loeb story was more about the mystery than creating a fully developed villain. It was Paul Dini that did that.
