Detective Comics # 849 - Heart of Hush Part 4: Scars

An angry Batman interrogates Scarecrow to find Hush. ("WHERE IS HE!?") Cool, cool. But keep in mind that he's using and electric line and a toilet. Even the Joker couldn't believe it. ("This is better than Christmas!) He gets the information. On the way there, he talks with some people from the Justice League who I know nothing about to decipher the machine Selina's hooked up to.

There's another flashback, where Tommy finally tells off his mother. (But if the quotes are meaningless, WHY do you keep saying them? Well, that's not Dini's fault.)

Batman shows up all awesome-like. They fight, but Hush manages to turn the tables, revealing that his surgery results in him having Bruce's face. Before he has his henchmen take Bats away to kill him, he explains his plan to steal Bruce's identity and kill all of his allies. And we end on a cliff hanger.

This is a great one.

In This issue Batman goes on a rampage to find Hush, and to return Catwomans Heart to her. Since Batman isnt wearing purple patchwork, or calling himself the Zen Batman, I can assume once again that the R.I.P. banner is just for show.  On the other hand, this is one really cool issue. Batman doing what it takes to get to his prey quickly. He even goes Jack Baur on the Scarecrow.  What happened to Catwoman was insane, and would really take her permanantly. I also feel for the first time in a long time there is a sense of tension in the books. I have to say, so far I am feeling the love for this storyline.
