"You had a bad day and everything changed." In the pages of the iconic story Batman: The Killing Joke, Batman's ultimate foe, The Joker, was changed forever, given new, horrifying definition by the graphic novel that acted as the template for all the character's stories moving forward. Now, 35 years later, some of comics' greatest creators have come together to give that same stunning reexamination and evolution to more of Batman's iconic rogues gallery.
The Riddler. Two-Face. The Penguin. Mr. Freeze. Catwoman. Bane. Clayface. Ra's al Ghul. Each villain has their reasons for opposing the Caped Crusader. But were they victims of circumstance who were pushed over the edge, or were they always drawn to darkness?
When the Penguin’s criminal empire is stolen by a former associate, Batman faces both Cobblepot and THE UMBRELLA MAN on the burning streets of Gotham! John Ridley and Giuseppe Camuncoli are ready to bring us ONE BAD DAY!
