Batman’s rogues gallery is easily one of the most iconic in comics, with the villainous group receiving a litany of solo content over the years. Batman: One Bad Day was another series following that tradition, spinning off from the ever-iconic Batman: The Killing Joke comic. The series sought to unpack the psychology and circumstances that crafted eight of Gotham’s deadliest foes, and writers like Tom King and G. Willow Wilson stepped up to bat for the title.
What ensued was a series that started off a bit rough but quickly found its footing to produce hit after hit. One Bad Day was nominated for several Eisner Awards, with one issue even taking the acclaimed prize of Best Single Issue/One-Shot home. For better or worse, the series was experimental and produced some intriguing stories about the minds of Gotham’s most wanted.
Two-Face was also depicted as a lost cause that Batman seemed to be wasting his time on, with the character Stephanie Brown even commentating on this with a harshly negative outlook on Bruce’s old friend. This outlook is validated by the story’s ending, too. The comic had a nearly cynical perspective on Batman’s mission of rehabilitation while doing a disservice to the character it promised to explore. For that, it is unquestionably One Bad Day’s weakest story.
