The Riddler, or Edward Nygma, debuted in Detective Comics, later shortened to DC Comics, in 1948. He started out as a light-hearted, mischievous character with a penchant for tricks and pranks, but has since grown darker in recent years with the move towards gritty realism of the Batman universe. Still mischievous, but no longer so humorous, he has a selfish compulsion to leave riddles and riddles at the crime scene to prove his wits and cunning to Batman and the citizens of Gotham. It will be interesting to see Reeves’ take on this iconic villain in the upcoming film.
