In this episode of Beyond the Bat Signal, we dive deep into the shadows of Gotham with a full breakdown and review of Batman #159 titled "The Rook"! The second installment in the return of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s iconic Hush saga brings high-stakes action, sharp detective work, and a creeping sense that someone is pulling the strings behind the smoke.
We unpack the issue’s biggest moments, from Batman’s tactical mind at work to the emotional tension simmering just beneath the cowl. Who’s manipulating the players this time? And how does this chapter build on the legacy of the original Hush storyline?
Join us as we explore the art, the writing, the callbacks, and what this issue might be foreshadowing for what’s next.
