I liked this very much. I’ve heard that it’s disappointing in comparison to the book, but I’ve not read that so I’m blissfully ignorant of what this adaptation lacks.

The movie was accurate to the comic for the first three quarters I suppose. In the comics Thomas Elliot was Hush.
In the film they made The Riddler into Hush instead. Whereas in the comic The Riddler found out that Bruce Wayne was Batman, he told Thomas Elliot and then he became Hush.
The other major thing was that they cut out the most memorable scene from the comic.
It was the Hush comic that re-introduced Jason Todd, but then it seemed like it was actually just Clayface but then maybe not...
Have you seen the Batman Under the Red Hood movie? That was the one where Jason Todd was revealed to truly be alive. Well that was also based on a comic and was the storyline after Hush.
None of this was in the movie though. Ideally they would have made a more comic accurate Hush movie years back, before the Under the Red Hood movie but they didn't unfortunately.

I never get this, why do people care if it's not fully comic accurate, I mean what was the big complaint going in and coming out of Lion King, that it was just a redo and rehash of the last movie, this always feels like the complaint people bring up if that cant think of a reasonable thing to moan about, because if this is the actual complaint it should be the complaint towards every remake and those who use it should never be allowed to use the it did nothing new argument to trash a movie either.
It's also not because of Red Hood they couldn't do this but because Hush is in the DC Animated Movie Universe or whatever they are calling it, in that Jason Todd doesn't exist yet, or atleast has never been mentioned, Robin went from Dick to Damien, the thing I dislike that they deviated from the comics is why Bruce & Selena break up, her dumping him because he had to try and save Riddler is stupid imo, that's who Bruce is you should know that about him at this point, far more tragic and interesting imo for Bruce to dump Selena because Hush fucked with his mind so much he doesn't know what to trust and he cannot be with her incase that is still part of Hush's games.

Well The Lion King movie was a rehash of another The Lion King movie so that's one thing.
But people liked the Hush comic, they wanted the movie and then they made a movie that didn't resemble the comic. So of course it will annoy people.
It should have never been part of the movie universe. That's bringing them all down.

A story is a story, like I get when someone just wants 100% faithful adaptations and then don't have an issue with rehashing the same things, but most people just flip flop this is too similar to this but this isn't similar enough and those people just make me want to headbutt a wall.
But these thing imo can almost never be full on accurate adaptations, not in movies atleast, for a TV show they can work or if they did these as like the animated shorts DC did for a while, each short is an issue of the comic, then once the run is completed you release it as a "movie", that way the narrative choices which work when you are doing a 12 issue run that work for 12 issues but not for a single 60-90 minute movie or something is fine, because it's not an actual movie more just the Hush omnibus.
I do agree though this shouldn't have been part of the ongoing universe, they are still doing stand alone movies so just make it a standalone movie Reign of the Supermen & the new WW animated film are part of the universe so this didn't need to and could have been far more comic accurate without needing to worry about the continuity.
