Batman #159
The Hush sequel (which is unfortunately being referred to as H2SH) continues here. Hush has returned and has put Batman in a situation to go to extraordinary lengths to save the life of the Joker (who after getting emergency treatment by Dr. Leslie Thompkins gets his own gurney in the Batcave). On the plus side, the story features Batman adorned with the classic Bat-Symbol (although sadly not the Bronze Age utility belt) and cameos aplenty (like the original) with Batgirl, Nightwing, the Riddler, and the Red Hood (back in the original helmet).
Most of Batman's struggle here is internal until Jason breaks into the cave leading to an altercation and the Red Hood making off with the Joker (although mentioned, Batman seems sure it is Jason and not Clayface - as in the original story). Finally we get the addition of the Riddler (notably not in a classic look) who apparently is here to help? I guess we'll see. Points definitely for the art and design, although I'm still on the fence about the story.
