Even for Kevin Smith fans, this is nearly unreadable
By Desmond Grey
I really wanted to like Batman: Cacophony. Like a lot of people who picked up this title, I am a huge Kevin Smith fan. I'm more of a fan of Smith himself (interviews, Evening Withs) than his actual work. His past jaunts into comics have been somewhat of a mixed bag for me. I enjoyed his Daredevil miniseries and some of the Green Arrow stuff, for example.
When this project was announced in the middle of '08, I was really looking forward to seeing how Kevin Smith tackles Batman. But I was also a little worried that the character of Batman wouldn't fit with Smith's writing style.
I was right to be worried. It really is bad. Cringe-worthy bad in many spots. I bought the comics as they arrived in the comic store and I really don't know why I even bought all the issues. I guess I was hoping Smith would pull off a great ending. Thankfully it was only a 3-issue run.
Artwork: Very poor and lazy. Smith freely admits that Flanagan got the job because they are friends. It would take a lot more than friendship for me to allow a 'talent' like this to ruin my storytelling. As a fan of Kevin Smith for over 15 years, I had heard of Walt Flanagan. However, I had never seen his artwork before. Ugh. Ech. Bleh. I can't believe an important character like Batman was given over to this guy. The covers were very misleading. Adam Kubert did all three covers, which are actually decent. I wish he had done the inside work as well. But back to Flanagan. Much of his work was very distracting, and often I would linger at some panels and marvel at how bad they were. Did he only have a weekend to turn in his work? One sequence especially stands out to me. On the second to last page of Part 1, there is a group of characters leaving a school, including the Joker himself, and Flanagan simply took the same drawing and put it on three different panels--each of which showing the group getting further away from the school. It's so obvious it's the same drawing it just made me think that he got lazy and didn't want to have to redraw the group three times. Also, many panels seem too 'cartoony'.
Story: Below average. Again, I love Smith, but Batman is not a character for him. I know he wanted to create something that would fit in with the long history of memorable Batman stories, but he falls way short. At the heart of the story there is very little that we haven't read before, and we've seen it portrayed far better. There are a few decent lines, but I had to stop myself from skimming the final issue because it just seemed boring. Maybe the artwork was so bad that I had a hard time really getting into the story. To his credit, Smith does a solid job with the Joker, but it isn't good enough to save this.
Price: I know the graphic novel is around $20, which is way too high. The three issues I purchased were $4 each, which is fairly standard, but a rip-off as well.
Bottom line: If you MUST read this, buy a cheap used copy, read it over a weekend, and put it back up for sale. Trust me, the condition doesn't matter because you won't be keeping it anyway. Kevin Smith needs to stick to characters that align more with his voice. He's much better than what Batman: Cacophony shows.

Pretty Good... But...
By Randall Webb
It was ok. I am a huge Kevin Smith fan and love his movies and his podcasts and his interviews and I think he's really funny. The first issue of this 3 issue story is great and he did well with writing the joker. But the second issue it went down in quality for me because his writing for the joker was close to horrible in the second issue. Especially in the way joker acts. In the second and in the first issue I don't buy joker being a sexual defiant the way he writes him because it seems really forced the things joker does to express him being a sexual defiant. Also I didn't like the scene were Onomatopoeia killed a hooker because it doesn't seem how he would react in the situation. In the third issue it picks up simply because throughout the issue it's a wrap up of the story. I would have preffered if this was just a Onomatopoeia story and the Joker was just in the background of the story and it would have been a stronger story. The art is pretty good. The art is very simplistic and I personally don't think batman is character for that simplistic of art style. But the art style isn't bad I actually love it but batman isn't the character for that art style.
Overall this is book that you would have to read at your own risk. But for a die hard batman fan this could be a pick, simply for the amount of villains and fast pace of the comic book and it's a short read.

may not be perfect fit for Batman, but clever and engaging
By Amazon Customer
The negative reviews here may have a point that Kevin Smith's writing may not be best suited for Batman, but this is still a great story.
It's a complicated but well-written plot that keeps you guessing, and that doesn't allow for any cheap resolutions by the end.
Smith's dialogue for Batman somehow doesn't fit too well, but he does a great portrayal of the Joker. In this story, the Joker is funny, creepy, intelligent, well-spoken, manipulative, and devious - in short, what the Joker is supposed to be.
Smith is clearly influenced by all the previous iterations of Batman and Joker, so he incorporates many of those of references; while it keeps the themes familiar, it does sometimes suggest a lack of novelty. But, comic books do seem work best when keeping to familiar themes, so that may not be such a drawback. As one example, Batman and Joker engage in a kind of carbon-copy dialogue from the Dark Knight film, where they discuss good and evil, and debate that perennial question, "why doesn't Batman just kill the Joker?" (see Mark White's essay in _Batman and Philosophy_, ed. by Mark White). So, if a bit cliche and perhaps even copied in homage to sources that have inspired him, Smith's storyline seems nonetheless fitting.
At least the writing is tight and to-the-point, a self-contained story that is aware of its limited space; as a three-issue series, you don't feel like you're reading a stretched-out story that had to go across several more issues, as can sometimes happen with collected editions. Thankfully, Smith kept his dialogue relatively short, unlike his Daredevil which sidelined the usually active red devil for interminably long boxes of text. In addition to being short and sweet (although it is packed with several sub-plots, many characters, and philosophical reflections), it is also funny; Smith's wit comes through in many places.
The art isn't great, but it isn't bad either. If anything, it's just a bit basic and at times inconsistent. I don't think it detracts from the story, but I won't be opening it again just to admire the images as works of art (like I might with a Frank Miller, Jim Lee or Bill Sienkiewicz).
In sum, Cacophony is a great read, limited only by some intangible feeling that I get that Smith's writing isn't exactly capturing the heart of who Batman is. By way of comparison, Cacophony is more enjoyable and understandable than Morrison's recent run, but not near as good as Paul Dini's work in Private Casebook or Heart of Hush or in Streets of Gotham (nor is the art here as good as that of Dustin Nguyen in those works). Cacophony is way better than Smith's Daredevil, but not as good (although it's close) as his Green Arrow, probably because Green Arrow lends itself better to Smith's witty socializing. In sum, a great read not deserving of some of the negative reviews posted here.
