Synopsis

THE SOUND OF SILENCE Batman and Robin end their patrol on a saturday night, but they come across the theft of a bell clapper from a church. Instantly, they are summoned to the GCPD Headquarters by Commissioner Gordon, who informs them about similar thefts across the city.   At few moments later, a street mime shoots a cab driver during her performance and makes her getaway being followed closely by Batman, who fails to capture her, but recognized her appearance. The next day, Bruce Wayne visits the offices of Vue Magazine and inquires to Vicki Vale as to the whereabouts of a mime named Camilla Cameo, who he believes is the culprit.   With the information provided by Vicki, Bruce learns Camilla's background and hatred for noise. Using these details, Batman and Robin go into action the following night to a Twisted Blister concert, where Camilla tries to stop the band from playing but is foiled by Batman. The Mime is finally stopped and taken away by the authorities, who ironically read her rights, including the line "you have the right to remain silent".
