10 Epic Comic Book Fights With Underwhelming Endings

10. Batman Vs Hush - Batman: Gotham Knights #74 (2006)

In 2000, DC launched a new series called Batman: Gotham Knights, which originally focused on The Bat Family. But when AJ Lieberman and Al Barrionuevo took over the series, the storylines delved more into the origins of Gotham's biggest supervillains including Poison Ivy, Bane, the Riddler, and even the Joker.

But while the Dark Knight battled his rogues gallery, there was one baddie who always seemed to take centre stage - Hush. No matter who Batman fought or what crime he investigated, Hush always seemed to be in the middle of it all, taunting the Caped Crusader. Because Bats squared off against the bandaged criminal more than anyone, readers assumed Gotham Knights would conclude with the pair facing off in a sensational showdown.

Sadly, Gotham Knights was abruptly cancelled alongside many other series to coincide with the conclusion of Infinite Crisis. In the final issue, Batman left Hush at the mercy of the Joker with a The End? teaser. What's worse is we didn't see Hush again until the Heart of Hush saga three years and the events in this storyline were barely acknowledged.
