- A little vidéo to sum up the story of the Riddler in the series Gotham, I hope you will enjoy it !
I made this video from the first episode of the first season, to the seventh of the second season.
They actually made Riddler an endearing, interesting and captivating villain.
He was already interesting and captivating. Endearing, no, but then again, *he's not supposed to be*. He's supposed to be an annoying know-it-all obsessed with being the best and smartest, to the point that most villains don't like working with him. And he's not crazy like the other supervillains. He's not a violent sociopath. In Batman's own words, he's a fanatic narcissist driven by egocentrism, megalomania, and severe obsessive-compulsion. But not a murderer with an overactive and homicidal id.
Yeah I know. Which is why I never really liked him until Gotham made this new take on this character. Could be worse. Could be Jim Carey all over again.
joshua frazier This version of Edward Enigma aka The Riddler is 100 times better then Jim Carrey's version.
Jim's version is more accurate. Also this version, everyone would know who the Riddler was when he appeared.
Joshua I agree 100 percent. Team riddler all the way!
Hands down the best live action Riddler. A believable awkward, obsessive nerd turned sociopath that isn't played like a goofball cartoon character.
BlackBeWhite2k7 (Cough cough) Jim Carrey
Andrew Awesome
Jim Carrey's performance was fucking terrible, just like that entire movie was. The complete opposite of everything I just praised about Gotham's version.
Jim (Carrey) was a believable obsessive nerd that got rejected by Bruce. A little over the top, but it worked for the campy era.
BlackBeWhite2k7 absolut
No you are describing The Riddler of the first Season and maybe also a bit of the second. That's not how The Riddler is supposed to be. The Riddler is in Season 3. And he's not supposed to be awkward but he's supposed to be a confident person who thinks he's always right. But in Gotham he is rarely outsmarted. But there is no Batman to outsmart him yet which is why his Riddler is a good one. Because in Season 3 he is always confident on TV, and always knows what to do.
He was bitten by a question mark, that's how he actually became The Riddler...
Awesome!
Oh, thank you so much for clarifying that! I thought he was a question mark. Thank you!
Correction, it was a 'radio-active' question mark.
That question mark man's origin
Felix Sited radioactive is one word
That guy deserve a movie with this character.
Dude fuck yes he DEFINETLY needs to reprize the role over and over
Nitro- Verse hell yeah I wish it would happen
I hope he's the next riddler in the robert Pattinson movie robert and him have similar roles twigh light cough
Hes such a good actor 😓
Yeah he plays a good Riddler
The Riddler and the Penguin are the reasons to watch this show
Robert Gronewold expecially now 😂
Catwoman can be considered one as well. Bruce is a little creepy bitch.
Robert Gronewold And Jerome Valeska
Robert Gronewold I also think that Jerome is an amazing character and I was sad that he died but he got revived with his face all stapled so i am not convinced he is the joker but one of the cult members worshipping Jerome becomes the real joker.
Pyg
His last name is foreshadowing of what is to come of him. He was an Enigma all his life. People could not understand him and always left him feeling unappreciated or left out. For someone who felt like an outcast/bullied most of my child hood, although i dont condone murdering people, I do feel for this guy. Lol and for all the bullies out there, be aware that you might awaken a beast.
Well, "Murphy", sure found that one out the hard way!
Agree
Your damn right they might
Age?
Talk about a slow burn, I love how they took the time to develop this character, starting from the quiet nerdy forensic scientist to the multiple personality disorder that ultimately gave birth to the Riddler. This show puts him up there next to the joker in my list of favorite Gotham villains
Edward's disorder started as social anxiety but after he murdered Dougherty it escalated into full blown Dissociative Identity Disorder with narcissistic tendencies. In a way, it IS his coworkers' faults that he wound up like this because they never gave him a chance or offered any friendship. He let his dark side take over; his own insecurities about himself bubbled to the surface with every put down or shut down and fear, doubt, and rage filled him, manifesting into what we would come to know as The Riddler. As someone living with an anxiety disorder, I can recognize a panic attack a mile away. I steered clear of this show after the first season because of the psychological beats that would touch on my thought issues. Negativity is anxiety's fuel, and Nygma, working in a police station as a gifted but underappreciated CSI, was swallowed up by his inner monster. So yeah that kind of crap scares me. And I do pity Edward.
i agree, i also have anxiety and o.c.d., was diagnosed when i was little, and this show illustrates perfectly what its like to have that all happening in your mind.
It's hell...There's no other word for it, it's hell.
it is but you know something? it's true what they say, it does get better eventually. you just gotta hang in there through the darkness. :)
Damn bro. In a way I agree with you and sympathize with Nygma because a lot of the people he interacted with were dismissive of who he was however you cannot force people to like someone. Even with how he was being treated, it wasn't really that bad. Jim was indifferent towards him and friendly for the most part, Harvey is a dick to everyone so he doesn't really count, The chick he liked clearly did have feelings for him to an extent when he was not being such a creeper, etc. Instead of communicating and improving himself he chose to blame others and hold negative feelings which then lead to him pretty much murdering people.
Nygma's destruction has always been his own as sad as this is. Keep in mind I've only watched season one and I will watch season 2 when it comes out when netflix drops it.
bullshit
its funny because they basically put more story into the riddler than the joker
Cuz Riddler better than Joker fuck
Sheev Palpatine so what the riddler is way cooler and the joker is young here
It was in the gotham contract in case you still don't know
IKR It’s treason then
I mean that was the point! They want to keep him a complete mystery... until they gave him a name and a life.
I actually feel bad for nygma
Shibo Almighty same
His disorder is just...oof
Same im only in ep 8 season 2
*cough* lygma *cough*
I think he got ligma
imagine a riddler series made by the people who made dexter
It fits, since Gothams riddler is basically a serial killer.
I'd watch that.
Dexter always had me on the edge of my seat about him getting caught. My own paranoia at work. If Riddler had his own show it would be amazing.
Cattywampus i thought the same thing.
Oh my god YES!
Well now who does he fight? The Cluemaster, The Quzzler (Fairly odd...), and The Spoiler?
Whats green and red? Frogs in a blender. I love that!
ikr
That was awesome
What's green than red?
The hoos sliding the grinches throat.
What if the frog is black? So..it really isn't a front in a blender is it?
What's black and white but red all over... penguins in a blender
Says he'll never do anything to hurt her again
Kills her
Gg Nygma
Atleast he didn't kill Isabella maybe he should be greatfull penguin killed ed aka riddler aka the worst boyfriend ever
the derp sandwich He didn’t kill him, and he’s not exactly the “worst”, he didn’t kill Isabella, like you said.
@@derp-7274 its accident
@@hellothere5030 no I mean penguin killed her
I love how when Edward kills Officer Dougherty he's just like "riddleman" then dies
That was thrilling. I had so much hope for the tough handsome cop
Shock. He didnt expect to get gutted by riddleman@@jkphilosophy
In the end love, love is what made him go insane.
Idubbbz is a pretty good actor.
Psycho Cards hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I thought I was the only one who thought he looked just like him.
Literally almost typed this ha
LMFAO
Omg I didn't know it was I dubs but I recognised the face
is it me or does he look like idubbbz?
Hey, hey hey
That's pretty good.
Nicolas Cage more like Sam pepper
Nicolas Cage yeah, I thought the same ! I guess that is why he seemed so familiar and in a way sympathetic
Nicolas Cage i thought he looked like someone but i couldnt remember who. Thanks for this comment, i know remember
Nicolas Cage I've got a riddle
Who's the man who says the N word and has got the plan.
I am sooo glad they gave this guy distinct character aspects to separate him from the joker, as many criticize him of being like.
better love story than twilight
Lol
You're still thinking about twilight, and u actually saw it. Dude u need help, you're mental!!!
Robert Pattinson joined the comment section of dc
@@derp-7274 He's Batman now!
What a plot twist
GUYS HIS NAME IS EDWARD NYGMA. SHORTEN HIS FIRST NAME TO E. AND KEEP HIS LAST NAME. E. NYGMA. AN ENIGMA IS A PERSON THAT IS MYSTERIOUS, PUZZLING OR DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND.
Arron Holguin that is the point. Also in the dark knight there is someone named Coleman Reese, and they call him mr.reese like mysteries and I am pretty sure that the riddler was supposed to be in the dark knight rises
Yeah in the old comics his actual name is Edward Nashton but he changed it to Nigma because he didn’t want to be associated with his abusive family (not to mention riddles and whatnot)
Whoooooooooooooopoooooooooooaaaaaaaaahhh. Also your caps lock is on
Arron Holguin WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
i already know that sir
anyone else notice the pattern about cut off hands on this show?
5:09 28 stab wounds
Didn't want to leave him a chance huh
(Detroit become human meme)
Nitro Productions i counted it was only 10
Holy shit, I might have to start watching this show.
This show is pretty good but not at good as the flash or arrow
Unfortunately, Riddler story is the only good part about this show. Maybe watching Gotham entirely would left you disappointed.
nordic fatcheese rivht
Arrow?....The most cringeworthy show ever? Yea, right....
the show is so good
This guy owns the riddler role just like heath ledger to joker. Bravo
Tell you what, if someone killed for ME? I am theirs FOREVER.
"I will never do anything to hurt you"
*Proceeds to kill her*
feel so bad for the guy he wouldnt have become the riddler if they didnt bully him and if the girl whent on one date with him
No if penguin didn't kill Isabella then he would of not been the riddler probably
Maybe so, but he probably would've ended up becoming the Riddler either way. In the words of the famous author, F. Scott Fitzgerald: "Show me a hero, & I'll write you a tragedy." Or in this case, "Show me a "Villain", & I'll write you a tragedy."
I love how you could slowly see him cracking throughout the episodes :)
He is so handsome and talanted. Wish good luck to this actor.
Nygma's spiralling into madness is deliciously entertaining. He starts out as the most precious dork and turns into a complex double personality fun character. He's also tragic and sad. I love him.
At least pencil is back to its owner !
( I was litterly laughing my butt off tho when he gave back that tiny pencil because Ed would never see her again ! ) XD
They should make a series about this riddler
Ya it should be cald the ultimate riddle or just the riddle or just riddle
The sad thing is that all Ed had to do was work on his phrasing.
"Tom attacked me when I threatened to have him arrested for what he did to you. I had no choice. He would have killed me if I didn't kill him. I panicked afterward. I was afraid nobody would believe me. I made the body disappear. I'm sorry. I just wanted to protect you and I was forced to do something horrible."
He killed a cop. No witnesses. Plus why would he have a knife without at least some intention of using it.
@@Plutomaniaa Like you said, there were no witnesses, and with Gotham in the state it was in, it makes sense to carry something like a pocket knife for self defense. Any forensic investigation would show that Tom had Ed’s blood on his knuckles, possible fabric threads in his hand that indicated a restraining of Ed during the altercation, and how the stabs were made haphazardly, as if Ed were trying to get away from him (if Ed went to the police instead of melting Tom’s body). Worst case, Edward gets a charge of involuntary manslaughter with the likelihood of it being dismissed as self-defense and Edward given mandatory counseling to ensure that this wasn’t the outburst of a more serious condition (although seeing how crooked Gotham was at the time, he might have been charged with worse).
This is actually a really sad story
the riddler looks like idubbz
I don't think any of these actors could be replaced and I wish they could be in the DCEU
Love you for using the Alice:Madness Returns Soundtrack for this vid
An awesome game ! ;)
i also noticed at around 13 mins was a song from the Professor Layton games
That's right ! 😉
SiBelle Boyé also the it follows soundtrack
Which was it ?
what's the song where riddler stabbed the cop
Hi Lil ! It's "Title" from the movie "It Follows" ! 😉
Anthony Le Guen wtf just watched it follows came here saw this
when Edward started to stab him I started to scream whoop and started clapping
Interesting....never knew The Riddler had a split personality.
DJ - W0LFBEAT5 fits him tho
Impala 67 eeeyup!
DJ - W0LFB3AT5 yeah in the comics it shows that he has a disorder that makes him unable to commit a crime without leaving a riddle behind, I guess in the show they made it into a personality disorder instead
@Snoi Med OCD type 2 paranoid skitzophenic with narssistic trait's serve psychosis serve anixity with mild ptsd
@@mythoughts3083 oh I just thought that because of two face in batman forever
Somebody make a list of how old they think the characters are on the show. We know that Bruce is 15 and Oswald is 31.
So Batman beats up on old men?
+daddydojang no
I think Gordon's in his mid thirties, Edward Nygma is about thirty, Selina Kyle is sixteen/seventeen, Jerome is around twenty and Barbara's about thirty.
MasterJo Cohen bruce is 14. He was 12 in season 1, 13 in season 2, and now he is 14.
Cameron Richards selina kyle is 15.
I want to just give Riddler a hug, he might kill me but that’s ok because he will have a hug.
Wow I'd go for some pringles right now
Now this is the man who should have been in the movie split.
No the other actor was perfect
They never gave him a chance, so he took his own and became...The Riddler
He goes that far for a girl.
Each time I watch this I see more and more I'm like E. Nygma (in some aspects)
Román Lopez Legorburú have you stabbed a man recently
Blazeplaysgames Haha, not that part yet, hahaha
Román Lopez Legorburú yet? O shit everyone hide.
Uh Huh Lmfao
I can help. I have a list of people who could use a visit from a psychopath. You up to it? 😹😹
Aww I felt bad for him
Cory Michael Smith plays perfect THE RIDDLER and is the best Actor to play him.
Hit like if u love the riddler,joker,penguin than any other villain ever made
What's orange has penguin hair and got voted
Donald trump
I feel bad for him it looks like he has split personality syndrome
He does
No shit? What tipped you off, the "my other personality does things while i'm blacked out", the talking to his other self only he can see?
SonTyp OhneNamen really
Toxic Shooter Oh, no no no. he has so many more
Split personality syndrome, lol, Dissociative Identify Disorder, formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder.
This video makes me interested in the riddler.
I love Edward Nygma he’s such a good character
Matthew Gray Gubler could probably be such a good RIddler
Recklessmayhem101 yeah that would be cool
Recklessmayhem101 A crazy Spencer Ried is basically the Riddler.
Recklessmayhem101 Also, he voiced him in a animated movie or two.
Recklessmayhem101 OHHHH MY GOOOSSHHHHH I LOVE MGG HE US SOOOOOO ADOORRRAAABLLEEEEEEE I AGREEEEE!!!
This character is amazing, Jekyll and Hyde as are basically all the villains in the show but this one captures me most, when his mr Hyde awakens he does everything he can to keep it from ever going near anyone despite what they think of him
He is the riddler we all need and deserve!
He's the dceu needs but doesn't deserve
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE POINT
this is why you dont mess with the nerds
riddle me this riddle me that who is afraid of the big bad bat?
Joel shoemocker
I dislike Jim Carry's Riddler but that line will always stick with me
I love how he leaves the clue in the letter because that's how batman catches him all the time because he always leaves a clue ???
Reminds me of Dr. Threadson from AHS Asylum
Nygma is one of my favorite characters on the show. The magnificent actor has embodied an equally brilliant Riddler.
But all these stories I've watched so many times when a tough guy mocks a quiet and meek person on the basis of the idea that nothing threatens him and he can commit violence with impunity.
But these guys are blind, they play Russian roulette and don't understand it. Quiet people are not always weak and meek, but much more often they have total control over their aggression, and they do not allow the negative to come out, and it accumulates, everything is deeply suppressed and when it reaches a critical mass it will simply explode with acts of violence.
Impudent tough guys simply do not understand that they can be a trigger and play with fire, and then they make such surprised faces when they were stabbed 11 times with a knife. What did they expect? If they are blind and do not see the huge dark "shadow" of some people.....So presumptuous.
I know, this is just a show, but in real life it is all around.
Du hast es auf den Punkt gebracht. Bei Oswald genauso. Er wollte nichts weiter als geliebt zu werden. Mir selbst erging es auch so.
idubbbz?
i'm black when u buy me
red when you use me
white when your through with me
what am i
Coal?
Coal
Dude!!! Cory Michael Smith looks EXACTLY like what you would imagine The Riddler to look like!!!!!!!
His ears are weird without glasses, that's all
I actually love this version of The Riddler. He's actually very cool and sympathetic. I like him.
" Madness is like gravity , all it takes is a little........... PUSH ! "
5:05 *28 STAB WOUNDS*
6:30 Best scene. The footage was exquisite (on point) not to mention his acting.
Poor Edward he just wanted to have fun with his riddles
Wait her name is Kristen riddles I feel like it's both
nygma is starting to look like Dexter
Xenobunny56 exept the fact that dexter always got rid of all the evidence and was sneeky. Edward leaves clues behind for people to fallow purposely.
When that cop said riddle man in the moments he knew he truly was and that was a guy that took things too far and the way he said it with such fear and regret
Stabs,
Ed: Oh dear
Laughs
Ed: Oh dear
Stabs again
Ed: OH DEAR
No where did it show him being born
It's just a click bait title. No birthing in any of these videos.
bigg mist Its how the Riddler came to be, like his personality changing
Tattooed Kangaroo It's a joke.
When he flipped next to the filing cabinets, that's the moment that second personality made itself known. That's the Riddler
👏🏻 I 👏🏻 want 👏🏻 to 👏🏻 be 👏🏻 his 👏🏻 friend 👏🏻 more 👏🏻 than 👏🏻 anything 👏🏻 in 👏🏻 the 👏🏻 world 👏🏻
Riddle Me This: If He Has An OCD How Can He Be A Genius Intellect.
both come hand in hand Einstien use to only have similiar outfits for each day so it wouldn't destract him
So many amazing actors in this show.
I'm not into comic sort of shows or movies. I needed something to watch though, so I binged Gotham. I loved it! Was so much fun. The actors that played the Riddler and Penguin are my favorite.
For some reason when I first saw Ed and Oswald talk to each other I thought they would be childhood friends of some sort, because it just seemed like it.
6:45 the fact that you can see him slowly losing his mind because of love is kinda scary. beautiful scene.
thought the actor did an amazing job with the character
Haven't watched this show but holy shit I'm going to now.
He is like sheldon cooper in bad
It’s funny to me how the GCPD always treated Edward as an outcast and always bullied him. Then when he becomes a villain they’re all surprise and blame him for his transformation.
Ja genau. Bei Oswald ist es genauso. Ihn hat man immer wieder schikaniert, schon alleine wegen seiner Behinderung. Irgendwann wurde er zum Mann mit Konsequenz. Verständlich.
There are times when i truly believe the Riddler is crazier than the Joker.
Good writing can make you side with the heroes.
Phenomenal writing can make you side with the villains.
I don't think I've seen a better version of the riddler and victor zsaz than the ones in this show
And why are the subtitles in chinese
I'm shy tihihiHIHIHIHÖHÖHÖHÖ it's french
I'm coming my sweet .....like the outfit , it keeps me safe when im jogging at night xD
Best ever ! This Gotham show is the best
this was amazing❤
Gotham did a pretty good job on the backstories of all these characters. There's more than one side to every story
Well my new favorite villain is the ridler
This is me I love riddles I'm insane I hide my emotions I love killing and I'm driven mad
Bruticus TheCombiner sounds fun. well... minus the riddles
idk why. but i feel like i would get along with ed.
Camy_ Muir same
I really like Edward and Oswald in Gotham. They're my favorite villains.
Thanks to Gotham riddler my favourite batman villian
artison1979 you can't name a made up character a disorder when did GOTHAM strat talking about ladels
