Beautiful art and an interesting concept, but so much of the story felt weird and flat. Not for me.

I like the hook, from 20 bucks to an empire. I also like how little Batman there was in this, and how lame he was. There were some issues plot/panel-wise, but mostly it was a fun read. This One Bad Day series is pretty good.

I... I do not understand what the point of these 'One Bad Day' books are. They are sloppy, simplistic, thematically incoherent.

I really, REALLY enjoyed this one. And I never really cared for Penguin either, but the characterization he’s given in this comic is superb. It was really fun seeing him climb his way back up after losing everything, and it really makes you respect this Batman villain that many probably think of as a joke, like I once thought.

Stunned by the artwork in this book. The style pleases me :)
