Batman Hush 1 Batman Day Special Edition #1

A perfect entry point for new and returning fans alike, this 2022 Batman Day freebie reprints the opening chapter of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee's celebrated run, with a cover by Jim Lee and Scott Williams that showcases a brooding Batman — half his face obscured by bandage-like wrappings — looming large above a vivid gathering of Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and a shadowy Joker rendered in eerie green tones. The layered composition, with ghostly villain faces sketched in the background, immediately signals the scope of the rogue's gallery waiting within. At no cost and with Alex Sinclair's colors and Richard Starkings' lettering carrying the interior, this special edition is one of the most accessible ways to dive into this beloved story.
