10 Comic Book Characters Who Broke Batman
9. Hush
When Tommy Elliott was a boy, he made his parents' car crash so he could inherit their fortune. However, the doctor, Thomas Wayne, managed to save Tommy's mother's life. Since he had to care for his invalid mother, Tommy grew bitter towards Doctor Wayne for saving her life.
When Thomas Wayne and his wife were murdered, their son, Bruce Wayne, inherited their wealth, making Tommy redirect his rage towards him since he had the life that Tommy desired.
Although he became the world's greatest surgeon, Tommy couldn't let his vendetta against Bruce go and eventually became the supervillain, Hush.
Hush can really hurt Bruce since he knows of his secret identity, allowing him to attack Bats on an emotional level. When he learned Bruce loves Catwoman, Hush surgically removed her heart and kept her alive with an electrode, forcing Bruce to watch the woman he loves literally have her heart ripped out.
When Batman briefly died, Hush altered his own face and lived the life of Bruce Wayne.
Another time, he burned down Bruce's home, forcing him to move into a crummy apartment.
Like the Joker, Hush hasn't just broken Batman once but many times, making him one of the Caped Crusader's scariest enemies.
