Selina tries to assuage Bruce by telling him to "hush" and leaning in for a kiss, but his mistrust of it all leads him to push back - sending her away. This new facet to their relationship falls on the rocks however by Batman's continued trust issues with Catwoman, especially after he learns that their coupling was instigated by outside means - a magic spell. After Batman reveals his romantic feelings for Selina - and in an act of trust reveals his secret identity as Bruce Wayne, the two engage in a whirlwind full-on romance. While the series excels at re-examining Batman's relationships with his many villains, 'Hush' also digs into the romantic tension between Dark Knight and Catwoman for the first time in significant way in the 21st Century. This return brings more questions than answers, and leads Batman into exploring his past - crossing paths with some of the Dark Knight's greatest villains and allies and everyone in-between. In this new volume, The Black Mask, longtime foe of Batman, has his sights set on Gotham City's East End to house his drug trafficking empire. It all kicks off with the introduction of Thomas Elliot - a previously-unknown childhood friend of Bruce Wayne that Bruce hasn't seen in decades.
