Confirmation that Elliot Bridge was named intentionally hints at Hush's potential appearance.

Hush's vendetta against the Wayne family could make him the perfect villain for The Batman Part II.

Hush's manipulation tactics and deep-rooted resentment towards Bruce Wayne offer rich storytelling possibilities.

In The Batman, Gotham City was left in ruins by the flood that engulfed much of the city. Among the many locations affected was the Elliot Bridge, which was named explicitly later on in the offshoot series The Penguin. At the time of the reveal, many fans speculated that this name could be a less-than-subtle reference to Thomas “Tommy” Elliot—better known as the villain Hush.

Recently, speculation surrounding this reference gained traction when production designer Kalina Ivanov, was asked in an Instagram post whether the name was just a coincidence or an intentional nod to Hush. Her response confirmed that it was intentional, raising new questions about whether Hush is being set up as a major villain in The Batman Part II or in a potential second season of The Penguin.
