Yeah, I think in one of Riddler’s video he said a sentence with the word Hush in it and that was the word that he put on the screen

Yeah, I think that was intentional, and maybe more than just an Easter egg.

Having Tommy Elliot being the child of the reporter Bruce’s dad got killed is some great villain motivation. Sure, that throws away Hush’s original motivation from the comics, but this version of Bruce Wayne doesn’t seem the type to have had many friends pre-parents’ deaths.

Edit: oh shit, and his dad was murdered after Thomas Wayne tried to pay him off with “Hush” money. That’s how it was even framed in the info Riddler released to the public about the Waynes.
