Plot Summary
A “Faces of Evil” issue starring Catwoman! Continuing from this month’s DETECTIVE COMICS #852, Selina Kyle’s path of vengeance against Hush knows no bounds! After confronting the man responsible for nearly destroying her life, Selina’s wrath propels her into a downward spiral. With Tommy Elliot almost certain to suffer dire consequences, could Catwoman’s humanity be next to perish?
In Vietnam, Catwoman continues to play with Hush. She's happy to be able to return some of the hurt she suffered at his hands. She latter explains to him how she ended up in the area. She tracked her way to endangered animal poachers. As Catwoman, she managed to worm herself into their operation. But to fully take them down, she needs "Bruce Wayne." She says since the poachers don't know that he's not Bruce, her idea could work. He says he'll go along with her plan in order to get out alive but afterwards, he says he'll get back at her. He leaves with two of her personal aides. When the poachers go after millionaire Bruce Wayne, she'll let the caged animals loose.
As Catwoman begins releasing the animals, she is discovered by the leader. They begin fighting and she is saved by one of the animals. As Hush continues his escape, he sees Catwoman leaving in a helicopter most likely paid for with his money. He then offers to pay the two aides fifty thousand each to help him track her down. They tell him he can't afford them as they reveal themselves to be Nightwing and Robin. They explain how there were able to follow his trail as "Bruce." Hush decides to try to defeat them and take his chances in the jungle with his wounds. He doesn't stand a chance. Because he looks like Bruce, they can't put him in jail or Arkham. He is now their prisoner in a private penthouse at Wayne Tower.

While this isn't a groundbreaking story by any means, it's more enjoyable than any issue of Batman that I've read for the past several months. Dini seems like a writer of legend to me already and he's not anywhere near retirement age. I would choose his work over Morrison's any day! As inferiorego stated, Hush has become a more appreciable character since RIP but even there Bats was up against Hush and the Black Glove and the Joker still running loose. This story has more focus than RIP or The Black Glove issues.
Alex Ross' cover art is captivating and I wouldn't expect anything less from him. He works hard at his craft and knocks another out of the park with this portrait of Catwoman holding a monstrous diamond. I find it interesting that she's wearing her cowl on the cover but she's been resorting to a different lately inside the Bat pages with just goggles. I actually prefer seeing her hair but that's just me.

A simple issue that was fun to read an full of vengeful goodness. I thought Hush was one of the worst conceived villains up until R.I.P. rolled around where he removed Catwoman's heart. At that point, I considered him a threatening part of Batman's extensive rogue gallery. This issue Catwoman gets her revenge, kind of. Dini is one of my favorite writers at DC, and the guy really knows how to tell a story that fits into one single issue. He has a Golden Age writing style, minus all the expositional dialogue; it's nice to see that in an age where every story arc has to fit nicely into a trade paperback. His single issue stories are always entertaining and have a great "replay" value. And as much as I praise Dini for making this book as great as it is, Dustin Nguyen, Derek Fridolfs, and Guy Major (awe inspiring colors might I add) really put this issue over the edge for me. The only real quam I had with this issue was a this "reveal" Tim's jaw looked ridiculous and Dick looked like he was going bald, it was bizarre.
I highly recommend this issue if you loved/hated R.I.P. At this point, it doesn't seem like a necessary read, but it was a lot of fun.

This is the true ending to the Heart of Hush series (Which I think is one of the greatest Batman stories to have come out)
Paul Dini proves that nobody knows how to handle DC comic book characters like him. This book is written to perfection and is probably the greatest ways to have end the Heart of Hush story arc. The comic also has a ending I honestly didn't expect coming, and the final lines spoken by Hush is a great way to show the inner psychosis of the character. +
Hush is a schemer and is one of Batman's most feared foes (Even if his origin is a little dumb [ however Dini definently made that origin work in the Heart of Hush series]) and you know that he is going to make a return somehow, and when he does I'll definitly be purchasing that book.

In this issue Catwoman is taking her revenge on Hushby putting him in a sack and having a Rhino maul him for awhile. Afterwards she agrees to help him escape some poachers who believe theycaptured Bruce Wayne and want to hold him for ransom. Now if this was told before the R.I.P. story I would have loved it, but unfortunately I am going to have a hard time believing any Catwoman story since SHE HAD HER HEART REMOVED!!! I am sorry, but we should not be seeing her for a long long time.
That said, it was a decent book that comes real close tojust falling into the role of filler issue. I liked it though, especially the twist at the end.
