"On Gotham, Nygma is described as being a brilliant young forensic scientist working for the Gotham PD with a penchant for speaking in… rather cryptic language. Inquisitive, eccentric and outgoing — yet socially awkward — he wants to be liked, but he doesn’t quite know how. Of course, as fans know, Nygma will go on to become the Riddler, one of Batman’s oldest and most nefarious villains (and one who can currently be seen wreaking havoc—also in Batman’s formative years—in Scott Snyder’s ongoing “Zero Year” storyline). Will the Riddler we’ll eventually be seeing on the show take inspiration from the version we’ve seen in “Zero Year”? Only time will tell, but you can bet we’ll be watching alongside all of you to find out!" |DC Comics


"The dry version: Actors Cory Michael Smith, Victoria Cartagena and Andrew Stewart-Jones have their cast member status upgraded from recurring guests to series regulars.
The juicy, fan version: We're getting more Edward Nygma (aka the Riddler) and Renee Montoya, yay! What? Crispus Allen is in this thing, too? YES.

But, genuinely, just from a narrative perspective, this is great news. We already knew Smith was playing Nygma in his pre-Riddler days, back when he was just a forensic scientist. Smith being a regular means we'll regularly get the chance to witness more of his complex devolution from brilliant but awkward good guy to sociopathic supervillain." | Source: Blastr
