It Takes More Than "One Bad Day" | Trial | Batman The Animated Series

In this video I look at the BTAS episode Trial, and use it to demonstrate how Batman the Animated Series rejected the idea that all it takes to drive someone mad is One Bad Day (as popularised by The Killing Joke).

I'm going to go through the origins of each villain that appears in the episode and make the case that, if anything, one bad day can create heroes, while a bad life makes a villain.
