📘 Series Summary

Batman: Cacophony is a three-issue limited series written by filmmaker Kevin Smith, with pencils by Walt Flanagan and inks by Sandra Hope. The story centers on the return of Onomatopoeia, the sound-mimicking serial killer who targets vigilantes, now setting his sights on Batman while crossing paths with the Joker in a chaotic triangle of violence.

Batman must unravel the twisted connection between Onomatopoeia and the Joker amid brutal confrontations, forcing a climactic choice between capturing the masked killer or saving his arch-nemesis from a deadly "Bang!"

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Kevin Smith's **first major Batman miniseries**, blending his signature dialogue with high-stakes action and dark humor in Gotham's underworld.
  • Revives **Onomatopoeia**, the unique sound-effect killer from Smith's Green Arrow run, in his most prominent Batman story.
  • Dynamic **Adam Kubert covers** plus rare variants by Bill Sienkiewicz and sketch editions, with high CGC value on #3B.
  • Oversized **40-page issues** deliver a cinematic scope, building to an intense finale packed with moral dilemmas.
  • Features **Joker-Onomatopoeia interplay** that tests Batman's limits in one of the era's most unpredictable villain matchups.

📦 Inventory Notice

This three-issue limited series appeals to Kevin Smith fans and variant hunters, with sketch and Sienkiewicz covers commanding premiums.

Complete #1–3 sets the full arc from Onomatopoeia's return through the explosive confrontation and Batman's impossible choice.
