I just don't understand why no one liked him in the first place? Like, he's super intelligent, he's quirky, he's adorably dorky and he seems nice enough. I just wish they had realised all that before he ticked...
They (the people who don't like Nygma) are molded by society to think that people who aren't "normal" are to be described as weird, insane, or freaks. Nygma doesn't fit into social norms - so they immediately don't like him because he's something different.
Ton Jones I feel like your anger toward me is deeper than my appearance and explanation of why people don't like Nygma. either way, I don't care for your nonsense & attempt at hurting my feelings. Don't use appearances or assumptions about anther person to justify your blind anger. Also, I'm aware of some people liking Ed. He's odd, handsome & intelligent, yet those three features aren't what most see. for example: Officer Dougherty didn't like Ed, Miss Kringle didn't like him at first. A few Officers had shown dislike toward Ed by bullying him. It wasn't just Bullock.
Most people just suck. Some people were fond of him though, like the old captain and Gordon. To others he was genuinely annoying and a bit creepy. Dislike Kringle if you will but she picked up on the vibes.
Cory is ridiculously charming. The producers did a good job casting him as a villain because the way he treats his character is so relatable. Plus, how can you hate a villain that`s as cute as that! Talk about that smile at the end of the video?! (sigh)
he's VERY attractive. My friend, who is a theater obsessive, told me he was in a Broadway production of "Breakfast at Tiffany's". and he appeared naked in one scene. I almost killed him (my friend) for not telling me sooner. This was 3 years ago.
I've been a Batman fan my whole life, and I've always liked the idea of the Riddler, but I've just never felt that anyone has truly captured him on the screen. Corey Michael Smith has used 75 years worth of the Riddler's existence and mastered it in my opinion. Favorite character of the show, with Penguin just behind him.
it doesn't hurt that he's so cute. The kind of guy that if he worked with me and i saw people were abusive to him i would protect him. Then when he became the Riddler he would protect me and kiss me on my cheek..oh, sorry, wishful thinking.
Jerome and riddler are spot on with maybe a few changes. Penguin captures every aspect of the penguin character except gives him a dramatic almost corny and laughable demeanor sometimes. But since the character of penguin was originally meant to be funny, that's also in character. He is the penguin perfectly translated. Of course the silver age version of him and riddler are no DIRECTLY referenced because theyre so different but it's there in the performance. Penguin captures every aspect of the character over the years especially in my opinion all his unlikable traits. Especially in season one and season five. Especially season one. He turned his prom date into a pr*stitute in Batman Triumphant. It is ridiculous but disturbing. He is also insecure about his appearance which he also is in season one even though he looks different
He does a different voice for Nygma that cool. He sounds nothing like his character. He is really a good actor. I think he is the best Riddler by far sorry Carrey.
I didn't realise how much deeper his voice was than Edward's, he's very cute and i loved his smile at 2:18 you can tell he's thinking "When he becomes the Riddler" he's so good on the show.
Amy G Cory's natural speaking is slower, relaxed and more nuanced, whereas he speaks faster as Edward to show a character who is eager to impress with his knowlege but get turned away often so he speaks his piece faster before being rejected.
I love Cory Smith's genius of Edward Nygma's sad plight and downward spiral into insanity as The Riddler. His acting and role in Gotam always makes me jump up and down in front of the TV and scream with joy from the creepiness and brilliant acting.
Nothing more enjoyable then getting to see Edward Nygma done right, Cory Michael Smith is such a great actor!! Hands down my favorite character of a all time even on the show
I was even wondering about that last one, but then you mentioned it, so ... you kind of answered my mental quesion. Hahaha. #EdwardNygma. #JeromeValeska. #Gotham.
Everytime everyone brushes Edward off, I feel extremly bad. Because we all know how he turned into the Riddler and seeing that development and the way even GORDON does not realize the importance of Edward is sad.
jonnyman42 Whenever he asks someone if they like riddles, always getting a 'no' for answer, or whenever Bullock doesn't have time for them, I think exactly the same.
I just started the series last week finished it today and overall the process of Edward Nygma slowly turning into the Riddler is awesome the way they showed Nygma's slow descent into darkness is just amazing they gave him the perfect backstory I love the series because of how great The Riddler is he's my favourite character in the show by far they did a great job casting him as The Riddler he's perfect for the part
Smith's Riddler is very similar to Frank Gorshin's a lot of ways. The only thing missing is that high-pitched, uncontrollable cackling. Hopefully he'll get to do that at least once before the end.
What and / or how about Jerome Valeska? (He and Edward Nygma are pretty up there when it comes to the top such-and-such characters. "Maybe" even the best characters. Which I understand is pretty subjective, but that's kind of just how I see it, I guess. Hahaha.)
Actually, Matthew Gray Gubler (the actor that portrayed Doctor Spencer Reid) also portrayed the Riddler in one of the animated movies (I believe that it was something like "Son of Batman" or something ... but maybe not exactly that one).
I think it's hilarious how they chose the most adoreble actors to play the villains, it really give's the actors the opportunity to show how much range they have, so it isn't just because they're some big scary dude, it's because of their behavior and demeanor.
i met him at a convention in melbourne a few weeks ago, great guy... i met him on saturday and the following sunday, got a sighed picture and bluray of gotham, as well as a photo taken with him
So, I’m up to season 3 (fairly early in it) and I have always loved Ed. Even when he turned like mad, he did some horrible things as a bad guy but he is just so interesting and different. Probably my favourite character.
I believe that the constant rejection from his crush, is what will lead the character to "snap" in a certain point. I eagerly anticipate the evolution of his character. Bravo Mr. Smith!
am i the only one that see a bit of spencer reid in nygma? I feel like nygma is what reid could become if he eventually developed the schizophrenia he fears.
I feel the same way about him that I felt about Robert Downey jr. Seriously, now I can’t imagine anyone else playing riddler. Robert looked like and acted perfectly as iron man to the point where it’s become so iconic that it had become the norm and we weren’t even surprised by how good he was. And now I’m starting to do the same with Cory except I always notice how good he is because riddler is such and underrated character. Paul dano is going to have to do a lot to win me over, is all I’m saying
Edward in the show is very very helpful and if I was in the department I'd show him praise. Im sure Gordon appriciates it but is so set on the next move that he doesn't say anything.
I hope as the show goes on he gets more confidence and gets more condescending and arrogant because that's how toddler is. But I think that there doing him very well for what the show is right now seriously one of my favorite things to watch :-).
I just don't understand why no one liked him in the first place? Like, he's super intelligent, he's quirky, he's adorably dorky and he seems nice enough. I just wish they had realised all that before he ticked...
He probably sent people too many dank memes for their liking.

👐 Yes. Underappreciated people are people that are very much underappreciated. Yes. 👐
I *love* this guy as the Riddler. He is a brilliant actor.
Not to mention handsome!
Just like Jerome played by Cameron M.
Yeah hes so good

Cory is ridiculously charming. The producers did a good job casting him as a villain because the way he treats his character is so relatable. Plus, how can you hate a villain that`s as cute as that! Talk about that smile at the end of the video?! (sigh)
😊😊😊 Hehehe. 😊😊😊
he plays a character that you hate to see go bad but can understand why he does. its great character development.
vLad Not to mention those eyes!
and the teeth and flawless complexion. He's adorable
I know. I'm gay for him
God he is so incredibly attractive
😆😆😆
he's VERY attractive. My friend, who is a theater obsessive, told me he was in a Broadway production of "Breakfast at Tiffany's". and he appeared naked in one scene. I almost killed him (my friend) for not telling me sooner. This was 3 years ago.
I'm not a girl, I'm a guy and I read somewhere he's gay. So, I win
Did you see the video on here where he sang Purple Rain? Damn he can sing!
@@mickeymouse2able yeah he is

He does a different voice for Nygma that cool. He sounds nothing like his character. He is really a good actor. I think he is the best Riddler by far sorry Carrey.
Carrey wasn't even trying to play a character. Carrey will always be goofy.
the voice for nygma is pitched in this video it’s not like that in the actualyvseries
@@JokeRmakesPie Yes, he's one of those people who is usually just himself. The one time I can say he wasn't just a goofball was in The Majestic.
I agree my absolute favourite incarnation of the riddler
He makes nerds hot. Thank you!!!
I didn't realise how much deeper his voice was than Edward's, he's very cute and i loved his smile at 2:18 you can tell he's thinking "When he becomes the Riddler"
he's so good on the show.
kelly clarges 28, he'll be 29 this November.
Ok Thanks Amy My Name's Kelly
You're welcome Kelly :)

when he says "pay attention" it scared me cause i wasn't paying attention haha
The eight second smartphone/tablet attention span. Work to beat the goldfish's 9 second attention span, will ya? lol
Ou8y2k2 ADHD is a helluva thing
he's also a cutie :) villains in this show for me are the stars of it , nygma and cobblepot :)
Yeah they two are really cute and I'm waiting for Jonathan Crane too show up too
Nothing more enjoyable then getting to see Edward Nygma done right, Cory Michael Smith is such a great actor!! Hands down my favorite character of a all time even on the show
Love him! Nygma and Cobblepot are definitely my favourite characters, such talented (and attractive) men!
Omg yes !!! I am happy I ain't the only one !!! :D FRIENDS??
♪4MeMusic♫ sure! 😆 omg I am loving Jerome too hehe
+Fiona Boyne all the villains in Gotham and batman are the best .... I love Victor Zsasz too
I was even wondering about that last one, but then you mentioned it, so ... you kind of answered my mental quesion. Hahaha. #EdwardNygma. #JeromeValeska. #Gotham.
Fiona Boyne YES SAME
Everytime everyone brushes Edward off, I feel extremly bad. Because we all know how he turned into the Riddler and seeing that development and the way even GORDON does not realize the importance of Edward is sad.
Riddler in law enforcement?? Genius.
I love the idea. He is seeking attention within the department but does not receive it so he will seek it another way.
jonnyman42 Whenever he asks someone if they like riddles, always getting a 'no' for answer, or whenever Bullock doesn't have time for them, I think exactly the same.
No He's Not He's Just Trying His Best To Look After His Friends
Kelly Clarges
Why Do You Type Like This? You Know Where You Capitalize Every Letter Of Every Word In Your Sentence?
Its amazing how his voice is so different from the show.
Ed Nygma is by far my favorite character in this serious. And I'm a die hard Catwoman fangirl.
Jennifer Hicklin same here on both counts
Same here!
I love how he enunciate his lines.
He is the Norman Bates of Gotham
Oh my god yes!!!!!!!
Eh.
I thought that was the Penguin.
This guy is very talented. Amazing actor. Loved him in Olive Kitteridge.
Wow, the actor is really different from the Riddler. I like him.
Damn! I think we should pay attention the Cory Michael Smith because that guy is giving me serious vibes!
I freak out every time this man comes on screen💀…. He’s so amazing
He is my favorite future villain, he is so good at his job in crime solving. He is different and he must get more time on Gotham.
I appreciate you Nygma, don't be sad :'/
He smiles so gently.
His voice is so deep in here, i love him.
Wow, he really is different from his character. That just shows how brilliant he is as an actor! :)
2:16 “when he starts...😏...causing a bit of a ruckus around town”
He and penguin were incredibly fun to watch!
I feel sorry for Ed everyone is so mean to him :( but when he's evil he's just amazing
RIGHT?!!! 🥺🥺🥺 I woulda been his friend, loved him and appreciated him sooooo much 💘💘💘 But Riddler side is also super sexy 🤷♂️♥️
Damn Ed's voice has changed sooo much during these years
I just started the series last week finished it today and overall the process of Edward Nygma slowly turning into the Riddler is awesome the way they showed Nygma's slow descent into darkness is just amazing they gave him the perfect backstory I love the series because of how great The Riddler is he's my favourite character in the show by far they did a great job casting him as The Riddler he's perfect for the part
I love Enigma, he's so smart, cute, sweet and PSYCHO. ...my kinda guy.
Smith's Riddler is very similar to Frank Gorshin's a lot of ways. The only thing missing is that high-pitched, uncontrollable cackling. Hopefully he'll get to do that at least once before the end.
my favourite character including penguin xD
What and / or how about Jerome Valeska? (He and Edward Nygma are pretty up there when it comes to the top such-and-such characters. "Maybe" even the best characters. Which I understand is pretty subjective, but that's kind of just how I see it, I guess. Hahaha.)
My obsession with gothams Edward nygma keep growing and growing
I love the way he made this character evolve.
Best Riddler hands down! He had the look, the voice, the presence… everything I expected to see from a live action adaptation, he delivered
I love ur riddles . I appreciate you * silently crying*
I feel his acting is so underrated, he deserves to play in much more bigger productions
Whenever he raised his voice and said pay attention I looked at my phone so that's weird he said that just as I looked away
Best actor on the show in my opnion.
Amen to that!I love that he explains his character 👍
The video is sped up. Nygma's voice isn't that high-pitched.
He is an amazing actor and his story is sad but amazing at the same time. It's so weird hearing his actually voice n his character voice.
he kind of like spencer reid from criminal minds
Actually, Matthew Gray Gubler (the actor that portrayed Doctor Spencer Reid) also portrayed the Riddler in one of the animated movies (I believe that it was something like "Son of Batman" or something ... but maybe not exactly that one).
@@AmyRoseMainCharacter the movie is Batman: Assault on Arkham
I think it's hilarious how they chose the most adoreble actors to play the villains, it really give's the actors the opportunity to show how much range they have, so it isn't just because they're some big scary dude, it's because of their behavior and demeanor.
I love him...he has got to be my favorite actor on Gotham
if I worked there I would appreciate you lol 😍😂💕
What a talented actor. Season three of "'Gothem" knocked my socks off
I love edward so much, I never cared for him too much before watching Gotham
when you are scrolling through Facebook while this is playing and he yells pay attention I almost cried omg 😂
My favorite riddler
Plays the part so well def my fav character!!!!
I love him and Jerome, Oswalds my third favourite XD
i met him at a convention in melbourne a few weeks ago, great guy... i met him on saturday and the following sunday, got a sighed picture and bluray of gotham, as well as a photo taken with him
he's so cute oh my god
total bae
So, I’m up to season 3 (fairly early in it) and I have always loved Ed. Even when he turned like mad, he did some horrible things as a bad guy but he is just so interesting and different. Probably my favourite character.
Cory M. Smith is absolutely amazing as Nygma =O One of the most sympathetic characters... if not the most. ♥
Really good actor , best impression of the Riddler ive ever seen, and ive seen alot.
I believe that the constant rejection from his crush, is what will lead the character to "snap" in a certain point. I eagerly anticipate the evolution of his character. Bravo Mr. Smith!
I freakn love this guy!
I just died! xD Cory es hermoso, excelente actor y es muy humilde, siempre leyendo nuestros tweets. I adore him. Argentina loves Gotham!
His smile and laugh makes my day
He’s definitely my fav, him and 🐧
Idubbbz looks good in this video
Even though I love him as Riddler, I kinda miss Ed helping Jim and Harvey on the GCPD it was so cute
am i the only one that see a bit of spencer reid in nygma? I feel like nygma is what reid could become if he eventually developed the schizophrenia he fears.
phantomsonlylove YES THANK GOODNESS IM NOT THE ONLY ONE
He and Robin played the best penguin and riddler ever
I love this dude as the riddler and that's saying a lot because I love the riddler as a character. But THIS GUY LOOKS HIGH AS HELL IN THIS INTERVIEW
Yea,Mel, with a neck that long, you're always gonna be high. Lol. Jk.
Hell be anawsome riddler
Love this show Edward is my favourite

Spoiler!...........

Spoilers
And now he killed is gf Christine
+Booyaqranny1 Kristen. It's Kristen Kringle.
No. Nygma killed a chicken.
I love him so much
0:29 I love the way Nygma explain
I love him
He was anazing! The Riddler is perfect!
Edward in the show is very very helpful and if I was in the department I'd show him praise. Im sure Gordon appriciates it but is so set on the next move that he doesn't say anything.
Isaac Howe same
:)
He plays a wonderful nygma..genious little quirky cute, hyperintelligent..he remindes me of Sherlock
Nygma and Oswald are my favorite characters😛
Aaahhh love him!! :-D he was in that play with Emilia Clarke.
he's my fav character
He is the perfect casting for the riddler
Stop smiling like that you absolutely brilliant and adorable man.
ED IS SO ADORABLE
I hope as the show goes on he gets more confidence and gets more condescending and arrogant because that's how toddler is. But I think that there doing him very well for what the show is right now seriously one of my favorite things to watch :-).
I respect the Riddler!!! Cory i love you ❤️
My god, Oswald and him, both seeking respect
Great actor ! Im fan from brazil. Gotham rules !
He's the perfect Norman Batesssss
I didn't start the video yet and I know for sure that this will be the best 3 minutes spent 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I honestly thought he was gay, but i found out he was dating none other than: Emilia Clarke !! Wooow
😒😒😒
Amy Rosanova whot?
But they broke up?
cesar alberto sanchez barranco :)
he's bi just so you know. he's openly bi and has dated both men and women
Cory Michael Smith, he's the best person to played Edward Nygma/The Riddler.
Great actor
Nigma and Oswald
My favourite
Are you good at Dr.Mario world? There are tons of levels I get stuck on for like a month.
I understand him too.
