In the world of Batman comic books there are some that stand above the others for the stories and for the impact they leave. One of these is "The Killing Joke" and another one is, unfortunately, "Hush". It was popular enough for the to make a movie out of except like in all cases things need to be left out of the story and things need to be changed for whatever reason. This is a prime example of how things were changed for the worse.
The original story is one in which a new player in Gotham makes a name for himself by the name of "Hush". We don't know who he is, his face is bandaged up, but he becomes one of Batman's biggest threats in part because he's like Batman in so many ways but also he seemingly knows a lot about Batman's life. To say more is to spoil the story and if you like Batman you really ought to read it.
This however uses some of the events that took place in that and then totally takes it in a different direction. It's literally not the same character and it's quite baffling as to why they would make these changes. Honestly it's so different from the comics that they could have treated this as a completely separate story.
The animation is good. The voices work well although Alfred sounds really old. And the dynamic between Batman and Nightwing is explored both in costume and out which is always a good thing. But in the end it just feels like a disappointment.
Read the comic books for the story. It's so much better.
