Synopsis:
HUSH CHAPTER 1 - THE RANSOM — Batman sneaks through an FBI perimeter at the Gotham City Shipyard, using acid to burn the lock off a door despite it being unpredictable, although faster than picking it. Successfully getting into the Shipyard, he takes down the crew guarding the area. After defeating them, he discovers Edward Lamont IV, kidnapped heir to the Lamont Chemical fortune. While escaping, Killer Croc attacks, prompting Batman to question Croc’s motives. After subduing Croc, Batman notices the ransom money missing. Using heat sensors, he spots Catwoman and gives chase, only to be injured when his rope is cut mid-swing. Meanwhile, Catwoman delivers the money to Poison Ivy, revealing she was under Ivy’s mind control.
