History of The Riddler! (Edward Nigma) [Batman]

F.A.Q.
• Isn't his last name spelled Nygma? - As it says in the description, his last name is SOMETIMES spelled Nygma. Most times in the comics, it is Nigma.
• Jason Todd wasn't in Hush, that was Clayface impersonating him - False, following his resurrection it was revealed that Clayface and the real Jason Todd swapped mid fight. It was revealed in Batman: Under the Hood. I highly recommend reading it since it was a great book and the animated movie only does it some justice.

I used to have more frequently asked questions answered in a pinned post but when I switched over my channel from an individual to a brand account, it deleted all my comments. :( So if you see threads where it looks like I replied, but you can't see anything. That's why.

The letter E

I’m your favorite? :)) well well! I respect you sir!

The Batman was Amazing

Riddler's your number 1 bat rogue? You have excellent taste sir

Riddle me this! Was Alfred the "first Batman" over in England? Did he use autosuggestion to help Bruce Wayne find his calling? Does it not surprise you that Alfred takes all of Bruce Wayne's double life in stride?

The first actor I recall playing The Riddler was Frank Gorshin. I thought they had found the right person to portray the character live, and I had never read a Batman Comic book before watching the early series. That would make for an excellent video of how Frank Gorshin became The Riddler.

Looking handsome as always

Riddle me this!
What do you get when you have a seacraft that is helmed by a man named Richard and exclusively deals in potatoes?


Well, you get a Dick-Tater-Ship.

Uuuh edward nygma gotham tv series

He's my favourite villain too! Love this guy!

I'm sure we all want to know how you feel about the new riddler in the batman 👀

I've always dug Riddler's question mark-decorated suit. So did Elvis Costello.

Robert Englund's depiction of the Riddler in The Batman (2004) was my favorite version when I was a kid. I'm so excited to rewatch the series.

the origins miove of the riddler is not bad but he is still crazy obsessed about Bruce wayen

Green first, and then becomes red. What am I?

My fav comic book villain ever

Dude riddler is my fav batman villain heck even my favorite villain of all time this video is amazing you can also see him in Gotham where he is done amazing

I loved that Justice League Action made him a detective

The answer is E

That wasn't Jason in the 'Hush' story line it was clayface

Great video! Hey what’s the name of the background music?

I never knew Edward went through that much it's actually kinda sad

This character had serious potential Nolan's batman universe. Instead of making him green and whacky, they could've given him a dark and gritty background. Perhaps "mental illness meets genius".

The riddler is pretty great, aside from his costume. I kinda hate his look most of the time. Except for in Arkham Knight. He's decent there. I can't wait to see him in The Batman.

I think the reason the Riddler is underutilized is because it's probably very difficult to write for him. His whole persona is being cryptic so it takes a lot of careful thought to include his character and make it fitting. I think a good execution of the Riddler would probably make for the best comic in DC though.

why you got to make batman villains edgy dc just have the riddler around he's funny don't try to make him something he's not

The riddler was always my favorite

Just realized if you take the first letter from his first name (E) and add it to his last name, it says Enigma

THIS IS FAKE! The riddler was a cop ones, worked with Jim Gordon and Harvey Dent(2 face) then he figured out that he was ment to be a criminal. he was also best friends with Osswald Coblepot

batman: you can't tell anyone because it would render the information worthless
riddler: wait a minute he has a point

One of my favorite interpretations of the Riddler is from the Arkham games.
“I must say, Dark Knight, your desperate fumblings have exceeded my admittedly rather meager expectations. I’m impressed.”

The riddler is one of the best bad guys

The Riddler is often considered by many to be Batman’s second most notorious villain, but he doesn’t seem to get much attention in any modern works(of course, except for the Gotham TV series).

Love me some J Care

I liked his origin in TAS as a disgruntled video game programmer. We need a story about that Ridder in a movie now with everything we know about crunch culture.

The Riddler is my favorite villain too

Wow me too

Me too

I love the Idea of Nigma deciding to become a full-on Villain because being a Petty Thief isn't stylish enough.

Barbados. Like, dark nights: metal Barbados

Barbados coming in later in DC Metal huh cool of DC to reuse that one note plot idea

My favorite villain is clearly Joker, but he is just as interesting as he is and love his character.

e

Ok, I feel like riddler is reaching that point where so many people like him because he’s underrated that he is no longer underrated

The riddler's in the 2021 batman movie!!

Wait a bat demon name Barbatos?

riddler is also one of my all time favorite villains.
