Weekly Comic Review: Batman Cacophony # 1-3

[LikaLaruku]

On Smith's site, before he made Cacophony, he insinuated via covers that he was going for the early 80s style Joker. Personally, this Joker reminds me of the Dennis O'Neil Joker from the old Azrael series, the Bill Willingham Joker from Salvation Run, the Dixon/Nolan Joker from Devil's Advocate, The Legends of the Dark Knight series Joker, etc.

The biggest mess-ups were Joker with facial hair (the man simply does not grow the stuff) & his saying he'd love to see Batman dead.

But goddamn if his Joker isn't the funniest Joker ever written. & the gay humor is something I've always welcomed from the Joker. He's not the only one who's done it.

I'm a huge Kevin Smith fan & the leader of a Joker fanclub, & rated BC as the best Joker story of 2009.
