I think he was originally supposed to appear in The Batman, but both DC and WB didn't like the concept of the episode so he was replaced by Rumor. DC and WB could make straight to DVD feature animation that based around the Hush storyline (like they did with the Red Hood). Although with the New 52 it's unknown if they would go back and use a storyline from the 52 continuity.
