He needs to come out of it then.
According to IMDb, Kevin Conroy will be the voice of Batman, so it seems like the movie won't be part of the DCAMU continuity.

They're gonna trim a lot of fat off in the movie considering Loeb put basically every major villain and every major supporting cast member at the time minus Cass in the story. So I will admit I am curious as to what they change about it and if ends up like Under the Red Hood where the story actually ends up being better.
The weird thing with "Hush" is that it's not a good story for Hush as a character; that belongs to Heart of Hush and House of Hush. The actual plot and mystery of the story Hush is more focused on the sheer number of other characters Batman interacts with, with the actual mystery reveal having more importance placed on Harold sabotaging Bruce's stuff and Riddler making Hush his partner. Hush himself really just becomes the obvious main final villain, but it's hard to classify him as the mastermind, unlike Two-Face in the other stories. Heck, there's a reason why Jason Todd's return wound up being declared cannon while Hush languished in bad stories for a while.
I guess, if I were reviewing the story, I might set it up this way:
- Keep the gauntlet of villains aspect; not only is it fun, but a guy like Scarecrow can cause fear gas flashbacks to explain any background details they might need.
- Combine the Hush stories into a massive, multi-character story where Hish is targeting the Batman - and Wayne - Family. I'd include the attack on Catwoman, and maybe have the villains attack the Robins in the civilian identities to make it clear that Hush is using his knowledge of Batman's identity to do what he wants.
- Merge Heart of Hush with Hush itself and have Bruce figure out who he is by the midpoint, but still not know how his identity was compromised and how Tommy found out until the end. Tommy can be the vindictive and personal Heavy villain, not in charge but propelling the story along, trying to replace Bruce and take over his life.
- Keep the Riddler reveal as the actual mastermind, along with the way Batman keeps him from revealing his identity, but do the red herring appearances by him more like the ones in Dark Victory, Long Halloween, and Catwoman: When in Rome, so that he's always either in the background or the foreground.
- Maybe condense the final battle into a Batfamily vs Rogues war.
If this is the DCNAU, then maybe they should use the Jason Todd part but modify it for their universe.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
I cant wait for the Hush movie. Next up on my list is Batman vs Robin

This universe? It's an adaption of a comic book. Surely it's that universe that is being adapted?
Does batman and Harley Quinn count as "this universe"? If so where was Damien. As that title was aninated in the style of the 90s cartoon it really should have referenced Tim who was part of the new adventures series which this followed on from.
I don't see hush, Harley Quinn, red hood or killing joke as part of any new universe because the stories have not indicated so.
Son of batman and batman vs robin yes I grant you as they are adapted from Damiens era.
