Batman (1940-2011) #610

by Jeph Loeb, Scott Williams (Inker), Jim Lee (Penciller)

Even Arkham can't hold Killer Croc, or at least that's what Batman and Amanda Waller want him to believe. It seems tracking Gotham's most voracious reptile is the only way to find out who stole the 10 million clams. The problem is keeping Croc contained. The streets burn in this City of Shadows as Catwoman turns up the heat.

Read as part of the Batman: Hush: DC Compact Comics Edition graphic novel. (Aug 1, 2025)

The collective review for the entire Batman: Hush storyline can be found on my review of the Batman: The Complete Hush.

Just read Batman #610 — Bruce and Selina’s chemistry is 🔥, and the mystery keeps tightening. Chasing Killer Croc through Gotham’s underbelly adds grit and momentum. Hush continues to deliver.

Batman #610, "Hush, Chapter Three: The Beast"

Batman seeks out Killer Croc at Arkham to deduce why he would do the kidnapping job, and for whom. But Croc escapes Arkham, forcing Batman to lead the citywide hunt for the dangerous rogue. Croc goes after Catwoman who he believes has his money, and Batman realizes that a bigger players has been manipulating Croc, Catwoman, and maybe even himself. He catches the figure of someone watching him from afar, which precipitates the idea that a bigger villain is at play here. Meanwhile, the flashback sequences to Bruce's childhood reveal the fracture between his friendship with Tommy Elliot, in an origin not too dissimilar to his own.

The start to the Hush Storyline, and fantastic at that. Ending with a great cliffhanger for next issue, this comic starts by dropping you right into Batman’s investigation with Killer Croc

The Bat and The Cat

The issue where this book became my favorite Batman book of all-time. The one where The Batman and The Cat share a kiss on the rooftops. The one where Batman conveys the possibility he's forever alone in this never-ending battle.
