THE RIDDLER

The Riddler (Edward Nygma / Nashton) is a master strategist and one of Batman's most iconic adversaries in DC Comics, created by writer Bill Finger and artist Dick Sprang in 1948. Driven by a narcissistic compulsion to demonstrate his intellectual superiority, he leaves intricate riddles, deadly puzzles, and elaborate traps at the scenes of his crimes for Batman and the GCPD to decipher. Over decades of comic book storylines, films, television shows, and video games, he has evolved from a puzzle-obsessed thief into a menacing, high-tech strategist and criminal mastermind.
