The most recent episode of Batwoman showcased the birth of a modern Batman villain, as Tommy Elliot (Gabriel Mann) underwent surgery that saw his face carved off and wrapped in bandages. Now, photos from next week's episode, "A Secret Kept From All The Rest," show Elliot sporting the trenchcoat and twin pistols associated with his villainous alter ego, Hush.
Hush first appeared in the highly popular self-titled storyline by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, which revolved around Elliot trying to destroy Bruce Wayne's life, as he resented his childhood friend. Hush would return as a perennial thorn in Batman's side.
CRACKING THE CODE -- When members of Gotham's intelligentsia begin disappearing, Commander Kane (Dougray Scott), Sophie (Meagan Tandy) and the Crows go searching for the newest homicidal threat to the city. In the meantime, Kate (Ruby Rose) is consumed with someone's betrayal and starts questioning the loyalty of everyone around her just when she needs them most. So when Luke (Camrus Johnson) and Julia (guest star Christina Wolfe) go missing, Batwoman must rely on Mary (Nicole Kang) and a former foe to deploy her rescue mission. Meanwhile, Alice (Rachel Skarsten) enlists Tommy Elliot (guest star Gabriel Mann) to help acquire an elusive item that her sister also seeks. Greg Beeman directed the episode written by Jerry Shandy and Kelly Larson (#119). Original airdate 5/10/2020.
Hush also recently joined forces with Alice to obtain the journal of the late Lucius Fox, which contained secrets on how to break through Batman's defenses. This spells trouble for Kate, given Elliot's obsession with her cousin and that she uses the same technology as Bruce.
Created by Caroline Dries and developed by Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television, Batwoman stars Ruby Rose, Rachel Skarsten, Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson, Dougray Scott, Elizabeth Anweis and Nicole Kang. The series airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
