I love this concept and will pick these up… if it’s popular I’d be into a One Bad Day Nightwing, Batgirl, etc. series where a different Bat family member faces off with a Bat villain.
Like Year One expanded to other characters, I could see One Bad Day series for other heroes. (The gods know other heroes need their villains to get some quality focus too.)

I guess Cobblepot is having a bit of a bad day himself.
I mean, if he feels that he needs to buy a gun...
Wow.
Gotham is pretty rough.
Yeah, this is the one that I was looking forward to most.BATMAN – ONE BAD DAY: PENGUIN #1

The Penguin's criminal enterprise and the Iceberg Lounge have been stolen from underneath him by his former associate the Umbrella Man. The Umbrella Man has removed all of the rules for crime in Gotham City that the Penguin put in place, and the city is in chaos. The Penguin is a broken man, and he'll have to travel through the burning streets of Gotham with a gun and a single bullet putting together a new crew to take back what he's built. Will Batman help the devil he knows or face the devil he doesn't in the form of the Umbrella Man? A crime epic from the team behind the critically acclaimed Other History of the DC Universe, John Ridley and Giuseppe Camuncoli—don't miss it!
And John Ridley and Giuseppe Camuncoli back together again!
I love the way John Ridley writes Bat-stuff (well, the "Future State" stuff was kind of "meh" to me, but everything else has been great).
The full preview is in the October solicits.
Playing the numbers, I suspect at least two of these will be must-reads. I think most of the rest (5) will be adequate, perhaps even fun to read, maybe nice little plus-sized one-shots. I think one, minimum, will be like, "what?" and we'll consider fairly terrible. As to which I think might be which? No guesses, honestly. Creative teams are decent this day and age but very hit and miss. It's a total roulette wheel.
Retro315 no more. Anonymity is so 2005.

It's already set up to be a very Tom King Riddler issue.
Also, King just really likes his unconventional Nigma looks, huh?
I guess the continuity of these is going to be wonky given how old school Gordon looks.
Oof...that Killing Joke reference. I thought he was going to talk about Joker killing Sarah too, not the affair.

Hopefully he doesn't look like that for the whole issue.
Gordon definitely looks old even by Gordon standards.I feel that all of the solicits seem to imply that these are set pretty far into the timeline, probably a future from where we are now in terms of how old the characters are.
