The animation is just normal animation; there's nothing specifically New 52 inspired about it, and the costumes in the movie are post-Crisis, not post-Flashpoint.

Broken Base requires at least two sides, not just criticism.


* BrokenBase: The mainstream comics media (and even this very wiki) may give you the impression this story is universally beloved. It's not; numerous fans have accused it of having a flash-over-substance RandomEventsPlot, most prominent among them Senior "Batmanologist" [[http://comicsalliance.com/ask-chris-8-epic-runs-and-super-hero-furniture/ Chris Sims]].

* GatewaySeries: As [[BrokenBase broken the base]] can be, there's a reason for its acclaim. With its RandomEventsPlot, usage of various Batman characters as well as using Catwoman as the LoveInterest, this arc proved to be an effective way for new fans to start their interest in comics.

Allegedly, though, it wasn't planned this way; Hush originally ''was'' supposed to be a resurrected Jason Todd, and Thomas Elliot a RedHerring, but executives got cold feet at the last minute and vetoed this.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Batman's line from his fight with Superman about what gives him an advantage:
--> If Clark wanted to, he could use his superspeed and squish me into the cement. But I know how he thinks. Even more than the Kryptonite, he's got one big weakness. Deep down, Clark's essentially a good person...and deep down, I'm not.



* ExecutiveMeddling: Allegedly, Hush ''was'' originally supposed to be [[spoiler:a Lazarus Pit-revived Jason Todd]], with [[spoiler:Tommy Elliott]] being exactly what he appeared - a RedHerring SacrificialLamb.

* FridgeBrilliance: Riddler says that the Lazarus Pit gave him a "clarity" allowing him to learn the Batman's identity. As shown when Joker used it, while the pit gives sane people temporary madness, it can have the opposite effect on someone who's ''already'' insane. As such, the Pit temporarily rid Edward of his compulsive ComplexityAddiction, which was the main thing keeping his brilliant mind from finding out.
