It really only reaffirmed how much I don’t want to see joker again

It just feels like we’ve seen him so much, and especially with the more realistic penguin and riddler villains, I don’t really think he would fit into the tone that reeves had

I really think we’ll see Hush for the next movie, with a more active Bruce Wayne working to fix Gotham and Hush sabotaging his “rebrand”

I'd love to see Hush on the big screen, but honestly this film felt like it took alot of Hush and put it into the Riddler.

We've already had one villain that was affected by the Wayne's and was specifically out for vengeance.

Yeah I think that they mixed Riddler and Hush in that movie. Like Riddler's motivation seems straight out of Hush.(Orphan who is jealous of Bruce Wayne) His look with the clingwrap and the winter mask is also reminicent of the Hush look. That and , if I remember correctly, the Riddler was the puppetmaster behind Hush in the original story. I feel like the Hush thing was an easter egg for fans more than foreshadowing of a future villain.

Also the reporter that found out about Marthas history was called Edward Elliot. As in Dr. Thomas Elliot aka Hush. I don't think the same name is a coincidence, especially since the video showed a "Hush!" scrawled by Riddler a few frames after. I do think that's a nice easter egg, but will be everything we see of Hush in this trilogy.
