The Batman's Riddler is a terrifying mass murderer, but it turns out that his origin - as written by actor PaulDano and drawn by SubicStevan - began in a very different way, with Edward Nashton uncovering massive corruption in Gotham.
Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Riddler: Year One #2The 2022 film The Batman showcased a terrifying version of the Riddler, but Paul Dano's prequel comic makes the character even more tragic by expanding his story
In The Batman, the Riddler was introduced as a serial killer who appeared to be testing Batman with a series of intricate riddles. It wasn't until later on the film that it was revealed the Riddler in fact idolized Batman. He wanted to be a vigilante just like him, and the riddles were a way for them to work together. Of course, Batman wanted no part in what the Riddler was planning and had to stop his bizarre take on justice and vengeance.
Riddler Truly Tried To Do Good The sad part of this whole situation is that readers know how the Riddler will eventually wind up. His mind becomes twisted and perverted to the point where he is willing to kill innocents to accomplish his aims. However, he didn't start out that way. He was simply an awkward individual that had a conscience and wanted to help rather than hurt.
Instead, he was ostracized and abused, leading him to become something horrific. It's quite possible that if he had a supervisor who shared his sensibilities to do good then the Riddler might have been on a much different path. Instead, this prequel showcases the true tragedy of his origin, as he didn't set out with the intention to hurt anyone, let alone to flood the city.
