According to Screen Rant, Smith makes his new status official in the recently released photos. His Riddler stayed true to one of his villain costumes, with his green-colored business suit and bowler hat. Viewers have yet to see his signature cane as well.

Smith's Riddler is the latest live-action version after Jim Carrey wore his question-mark print bodysuit in 1995. The comedian took part in the stellar cast for the "Batman Forever" movie, starring Val Kilmer. Prior to the modern Riddlers, Frank Gorshin played the role in the 1960s.

The new Edward Nygma is way different from the shy forensic scientist for the Gotham Police Department who had a crush on Kristin Kringle. After going insane, he became Oswald Cobblepot as his chief of staff.

In the previous episodes, he sought the help of other villains to oust Penguin as the mayor. He and his team ended up killing their former leader. Then, they began leading the underground crime world.

“Nygma convinces himself that he doesn’t need Penguin to succeed and begins to introduce himself to Gotham as “The Riddler.” Bullock and Lucius Fox get caught up in Nygma’s mind games, while Gordon learns troubling news about his father’s death. Meanwhile, the Court of the Owls reveals its next move.”
