this bandaged sociopath was once the
childhood friend of Bruce Wayne welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we will
explore the origins of dr. Thomas Tommy
Elliott otherwise known as hush my work
has taken – now it’s time for my
masterpiece to be unveiled as with most
comic book characters there are often
reimagining and different versions to a
character’s past we’ve chosen to
primarily follow the storyline that
unfolded in 2002 s Batman number 608
which was then expanded upon throughout
its 12-issue storyline first introduced
in 2002
hush was first seen stalking the Dark
Knight from afar this happened as Batman
was attempting to get stolen money back
from Catwoman before his rope was
mysteriously cut causing him to fall
into an alleyway with Batman suffering a
fractured skull and surrounded by street
thugs
he was only saved when Huntress arrived
in the nick of time
with his injuries too serious for Alfred
to contend with alone Bruce communicated
his request for a specific surgeon by
tapping Morris code asking for the help
of his childhood friend Tommy Elliott
with Bruce’s injuries credited to a car
accident he was sent to the hospital to
be operated on while under Bruce
recalled playing chess with Tommy and
how he could never win as his friend was
always several steps ahead of him always
out maneuvering him and lecturing him on
never attacking without knowing his
opponents weaknesses
while the surgery was a success Bruce
emerged feeling helpless and was left
wondering who had cut the rope
afterwards
Alfred gave readers a flashback that
showed Tommy’s parents in a terrible car
accident many years earlier in that
instance Bruce’s father had operated on
them but was unable to do anything to
save Tommy’s father several issues later
Tommy was killed when he foolishly tried
to recover his pendant stolen by Harley
Quinn and the Joker with Batman arriving
on scene to find his remains
the combined anger of the Joker having
killed both the second Robin and now his
childhood friend caused the Dark Knight
to snap and he brutally beat the Joker
to a pulp readers were then shown the
bandaged hush watching from a distance
playing with two faces coin
following this Bruce attended Tommy’s
funeral as he did so
hush free the Joker from Arkham
revealing that he had used plastic
surgery to take on Harvey Dent’s
identity having faked the demise of his
former self
Tommy Elliott several issues later hush
had captured the current Robin and was
holding him in a cemetery however he had
already changed his identity again this
time taking on the face of Jason Todd
the version of Robin that had been
killed by the Joker when Batman arrived
he managed to disarm hush with the help
of Catwoman he then began to fight his
mysterious new adversary all but
defeated the Jason Todd impersonator
Batman assumed to be hush dissolved into
clay revealing that he was actually
Clayface the trail running dry Batman
had to follow up on another lead in
order to track the real hush down his
investigation eventually led him to
confront hush on an old bridge and there
the two began to fight during their
battle Batman noticed Tommie Elliot’s
pendant causing hush to point out that
their fight had led them to the same
bridge where Tommy’s parents had had
their accident
hush ultimately confessed his true
identity and that his vendetta against
the Wayne’s was not because Thomas Wayne
hadn’t saved his father but because he
had saved his mother he had severed the
brake line on his parents car hoping to
kill them both and become an orphan
hush was then stopped when Jim Gordon
arrived with the real Harvey Dent who
opened fire on hush forcing him over the
edge of the bridge into the water
Batman dived in after him but couldn’t
find his body when he surfaced he was
told that the body he had buried in
Tommy’s grave had actually been Clayface
as well in the years that followed
hush REE emerged to stalk and play
deadly mind games with his old friend
while a lying himself with other Gotham
super criminals as for his name it was
revealed to have come from his need to
keep his true identity
hush hush and from the nursery rhyme
hush little baby which was about a child
who was never happy with what he had
though hush has yet to appear in a film
or animated series he did appear in
2011’s video game Batman Arkham City
kidnapping inmates resembling Bruce
Wayne and stealing their faces
