Now, I know that Hush comes under a lot of criticism for many reasons. Underneath the pile of criticism, you have to give it to Loeb, he did put a lot of thought into introducing Elliot and pushing Batman as much as he could. However, I was thinking the other day, there is one overlooked problem that starts the entire arc. 
 
Batman's rope gets cut. 
 
Now, there are two problems with this, and they are as follows.

1. Last time I checked, he didn't use rope. He uses jet cables.
2. Wouldn't Batman, the master of contingency plans, have a back-up grapple gun?

The jet cables I guess you could look at how Batman explained the Batmobile's tire getting cut, the person who did so knew what Batman was using and how thick it was thus knew what to use to cut it. At least that would be the best explanation in my mind.
 
As for the extra grapple gun, I agree that Bruce probably would have had an extra if you bring it up like that.

Loeb sucks simple,Kgbeast and Deadshot have done the same.Damian did it to Tim Drake.

The point was making him fall, Is it possible with a cable and his preparations? No, but they were concentrating in doing big things that they forget little details of congruence (That happen to me often, in school jobs)

Another thing that I completely forgot:
 
Batman's cape allows him to glide. At the velocity he is falling, it would act like a parachute. 
 
The point is, Mr. Loeb, Batman has about three contingencies to enact if he falls from a immense height.

Possible plausible explanation: Hush had a diamond tool cutter shuriken to sever the rope/cable, Batman having a lot on his mind and watching Catwoman's behind didn't pack the spare grappel gun and as he reached for where it would've been instinctively cursed himself for being so amateurish, this happens as he's falling and even Batman is gravity's bitch! So he grasps at the gargoyle that collapses so Bat'a goes to activate the glidy cape which did change his trajectory to land on the pile of garbage & planks instead of impaling into the fence. Plus the height is only by guesstimation 8 stories and like parachutes, the glidy-cape is only effective when deployed at a certain height to slow a fall.

How's that!?!

Little late but.

LOL,if Deadshot could'nt do it properly then no way in hell can Hush.

@entropy_aegis: Haha my entire point, and canon evidence of the line's material.Just yet another example of why Hush was a flawed story lol.

Almost every comic book writer takes some liberties with reality. I remember how in Scott Snyder's Detective Comics run, Dick Grayson observed that Roadrunner's bionic legs were made of titanium and a few panels later, he crushed them with just his foot. Batman getting his cable cut was primarily just a plot-device used to get him injured enough so that he would end up calling Thomas. And it could also be argued that it served the secondary purpose of showing how much a threat Hush is by having him cut the cable when so many others have failed (similar to how Jason Todd cut the cable with his knife in Under The Red Hood).

Whatever. Cable or no cable, I loved Hush. If Loeb had to take a little artistic license... then so freakin' be it.

Agreed,but it's a weak plot device.Kgbeast and Deadfrigginshot a guy who was examining his cable could'nt do it properly.Bruce honestly should have not been injured enough to call some unknown guy who coincidentally is also the main villain.MEH.

Didn't they explain that? Hush got Harold to insert a subliminal loop in the Batcomputer that flashed Elliot's face at random intervals. So when he needed a surgeon, Tommy was the first person he thought of.

Oh wow,Hush became even more stupid.I guess Bruce never bothered to check why Elliot's face was flashing at him randomly.Regardless he did'nt need Elliot in Knightfall,so he has no reason to call him now.

It was a subliminal thing, he only noticed it subconsciously or something like that.

I love to bash Loeb.

@CitizenBane: @entropy_aegis:He didn't call Thomas after having his back broken because Harold didn't put the tampered chips into the Batcomputer until sometime during/after No Man's Land.

But Alfred was still able to stabilize him,the injuries in Knightfall were much worse.

He could have survived with a broken back. In Hush his skull was fractured, he would have died without surgery.

The back was broken in 6 places,and he was injured and fatigued badly even prior to that.After breaking his back Bane tossed him from a building and he was also poisoned by Scarecrow.
