![]() With an obsessive need for attention, Edward Nigma is determined to be the most outlandish of Gotham City's criminals, concocting elaborate series of clues and riddles around his crimes. Watching everything from his newly formed base of operations within the prison, Riddler hopes to finally watch Batman fail to solve his puzzles and rescue the innocents caught up in them. More than ever, Nigma then desired to outsmart and humiliate Batman, before ultimately killing him, and makes it his top priority to come up with a puzzle that not even the Dark Knight Detective can solve. Within Arkham City, Riddler has set up hundreds of riddles and death traps for Batman, abducting a massive amount of innocent people to be used as bait in his traps. Despite the amount and complexity of these riddles, Batman still proved victorious, in addition to disrupting the Joker's plans and riots at the Asylum that same night, and led the Gotham City Police to Riddler's location, where he was taken down and arrested once again. This may have been what caused his inferiority complex to become so deep that he feels compelled to always leave cryptic clues to anyone worthy of his games in an attempt to prove both his honesty and his intellect, initially taking on the moniker of Enigma.Īs The Riddler, Nigma contacts Batman via radio and gives him the task of completing 240 "Riddler Challenges" spread across Arkham Island. His parents (primarily his father) refused to believe he could ever become smarter than them, often accusing him of cheating whenever he succeeded in school academics or trivial games. Being raised by abusive and neglectful parents, he strived to be the most intelligent man alive. And so in our work on Gotham, that story started to evolve, and it started feeling, 'Wait, we should really lean into this.' And that's kind of where that's gone." I am the SMARTEST! I am the BEST! I AM THE RIDDLER!" ―The RiddlerĮdward "Eddie" Nashton, later Edward Nigma, is a man who has spent a vast amount of his life studying, exploring and memorizing all the knowledge he possibly could. ![]() ![]() "The GCDP thing, that story has kind of evolved, we've actually now moving more into the realm of exactly what would happen in the world of Arkham as it relates coming off of our movie, and some of the characters, again in their origins that you would – almost leaning into the idea of – it's like a horror movie or a haunted house that is Arkham." The idea of, again the way that Gotham is a character in the movie, I really want Arkham to exist as a character, so that you go into this environment and encounter these characters in a way that feels really fresh. However, director Matt Reeves has opened up about the series' shift to the legendary Arkham Asylum, home to many characters from Batman's rogues' gallery. The GCPD-centric show was to be set in "Year One" of Batman's career and take place before the events in The Batman and build on the film's examination of the anatomy of corruption in Gotham City. The Gotham City PD spin-off series at HBO Max that's set to exist in the same world as The Batman is shifting gears to focus on Arkham, Games Radar reports. ![]()
