This is the 12 part BATMAN story arc “Hush” which ran from BATMAN #608 to #619.
Thanks to Sampa1 from ProjectW for these.
Tommy Elliot was a boy who couldn’t be satisfied. One of Bruce Wayne’s only childhood friends, he cut the brakeline on his parent’s car, intending to kill them both and reap the rewards of his inheritance. Bruce promised that his father, a celebrated surgeon, would save the Elliots. Mr. Elliot died, but Dr. Wayne was able to save Mrs. Elliot died, destrying Tommy’s dream.
Tommy would never forgive his friend for saving his mother’s life.Thomas Elliot became one of the world’s premier brain surgeons, also mastering oncology, all the while plotting his revenge. He would find the means for his vengeance from an unexpected source: cancer patient Edward Nigma, the Riddler.
Believing the Riddler might be able to resolve some mysteries about Bruce Wayne, he treated Nigma’s cancer with the only means that could work ; a dip in rejuvaniting Lazarus Pit. Suprisingly, it not only cured Nigma but provided the mental acuity to answer his greatest riddle: Who is Batman? Armed with this suprising news, Elliot and Nigma devised a plan to destroy their common foe.
Swaddling himself in bandages and donning a trench coat, Elliot (now called “Hush”) began to manipulate nearly every one of Batman’s enemies and allies in a Byzantine game of cat-and-mouse, culminating on the bridge of his parent’s car crash.
Hush revealed his identity to the Dark Knight, but his revenge was cut short by the gunshots of an aptly double-crossing Two-Face. His body fell into the Gotham River, never to be recovered.
