The One Bad Day one-shots from DC Comics have, as Bleeding Cool pointed out at the very beginning, been trying to replicate the success of Batman: The Killing Joke for the Joker, each focusing on a different member of Batman Rogue's Gallery To the extent of reusing the idea of the "One Bad Day" from[...]

Earlier today, we looked at a Riddler one-shot, One Bad Day by Tom King & Mitch Gerads and surmised it was a Riddler version of Batman: The Killing Joke, referencing the idea that it just takes one bad day to turn someone into a Joker – or a Batman but it seems that from August to[...]
