While there's a book between this volume and Hush Money (the first Streets of Gotham collection), this is the true continuation of the first volume. Tommy Elliott (better known as Hush) is still impersonating Bruce Wayne, but now that Wayne has returned, things are changing. Hush escapes the custody of the Justice League and teams up with an old enemy of the Wayne family, intent of revenge.
I had mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, the story of Hush impersonating Bruce Wayne was really intriguing, and I wanted to see how it would end. Hush is an interesting character, and I can usually expect some measure of drama from his stories. However, the almost total absence of Batman himself from this book leaves us without much in the way of a confrontation, making for a disappointing end to an otherwise good arc. As usual, Nguyen's art is excellent, and one of the highlights of this book was seeing his interpretations of Golden Age superheroes during the numerous flashbacks.
