One Bad Day: Bane

One Bad Day: BANE

A literary villain origin story to help build something good.

He was born into a prison. Raised in darkness. Forged by solitude.
And when the world finally met him, he shattered its strongest symbol.

One Bad Day: BANE is a novel-style origin story of Gotham’s most physically and intellectually dangerous villain. Written in a traditional literary format (not comic panels or script), it brings Bane to life with psychological depth, emotional brutality, and cinematic detail.

This book is for readers who want more than surface-level villainy. It’s for fans who’ve always felt there was more to his story—and wanted to see it unfold with the weight and care of a full novel.

What’s Inside:

• 12 full-length chapters + prologue and epilogue
• Grounded in canonical Bane lore (Knightfall, Vengeance of Bane, DC Animated Universe)
• Expanded with original fan fiction to fill narrative gaps
• Told in traditional third-person narrative with full paragraphs, dialogue, and vivid detail
• Delivered as a high-quality PDF (instant download, no DRM)

Why just $1? What’s the catch?

There isn’t one.

This story is part of a larger fan project—One Bad Day: Volume 1—featuring novel-style origin stories for over 15 of Batman’s greatest villains. It’s priced at $1 because I didn’t create it for profit.

All proceeds go directly to LaunchKids Academy, a neurodiverse-inclusive microschool I’m opening in Phoenix, AZ to serve families who don’t fit into or can’t afford traditional preschool programs. Our doors open in October 2025, and every sale brings us one step closer.

If you love Batman’s villains and you believe in turning dark stories into light, this project is for you.
