Batman has amassed quite an assortment of rogues during his time as the heroic protector of the crime-ridden Gotham City. His villains are among some of the most colorful and memorable figures in comics and include instantly recognizable figures such as the Joker, the Riddler, and the Penguin. Twenty years ago, Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee notably added to the Dark Knight’s venerable assortment of adversaries with the creation of his most personal adversary, Hush, and his newest ongoing series has introduced a similar villain who has an equally deep connection to his son, fan-favorite Robin Damian Wayne.The recent Batman and Robin #2 (by Joshua Williamson, Simone Di Med, and Steve Wands) introduced a female version of the villain Hush in the form of Shush, and although her methods thus far are quite similar to her male counterpart, she appears to lack a personal connection to the Caped Crusader. However, subsequent issues have hinted at a much deeper history with Damian Wayne, with the young Robin himself recognizing this in issue #4. This immediately establishes this villain as more of a nemesis to Damian than his father, giving him a rather unique position among the other teens who have worn the iconic mantle.Although it doesn’t definitively establish the connection, Batman and Robin #4 strongly implies that Shush is a previous former trainer of Damian’s who was known as Mistress Harsh. This issue, as well as previous ones, establishes that Harsh was as stern with her trainee as her name implies. It is also revealed in the latest issue that the mentor once took her training too far, striking Damian and evoking the wrath of his mother, Talia al Ghul. Harsh is then taken away to be punished, an act which may have led to the bandages that she now wears over her face.
