Rumour: Will Hush Be A New Villain In The Next Rocksteady Batman Game?

Over the weekend a POS images was allegedly leaked by a GameStop employee that potentially revealed the logo for the next Batman game from Rocksteady Studios.  Well now it seems further information has slipped out in regards to which villain maybe starring in the next instalment.

It seems that the character Hush that featured as a side mission in Arkham City just might be getting a bigger role to play in the forthcoming game.  Hush is certainly an interesting character and if I’m honest, he’s one that I never saw coming.  Which by no means is a bad thing what so ever.  The real name of Hush is Thomas Elliot, he is a talented brain surgeon and he was a close friend of Bruce Wayne, but when their friendship turns sour, he perfectly replicates the face of Mr Wayne in an attempt to ruin the family name.

If you have never played the side mission that featured Hush in Arkham City, it finished off with Hush escaping the clutches of Batman with the perfectly created face of Mr Wayne.  Rather then Batman going after Hush, he simply told Oracle that he would “deal with him later.”  Which looking back on it now, was quite possibly a strong hint to a potential storyline in the next Arkham game.

Well now added fuel has been thrown into the fire, as an image was posted on the Hush Facebook page with the reference “Remember a little appearance by somebody in Arkham City? Well things may be about to get more interesting next month…”

What do you make of Hush potentially starring in the next Batman title from Rocksteady Studios or perhaps there’s someone else that you have in mind?  Personally I would love Harvey Dent to have a more prominent role in a future Batman game, but let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
