Riddler's Debut On "Gotham" Season 3

Edward Nygma (Cory Michael Smith) works as a right-hand man of Cobbler (Robin Lord Taylor) since going AWOL on Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and the Gotham police department. However, it seems that a lot of things took a toll on their status in the underworld crime world. The last season ended with Edward, as his team goes against Cobbler who did not have a great endgame.

"How Riddler Got His Name" will then introduce Edward's alter-ego as The Riddler, Comic Book previously reported. The character, which Jim Carrey made popular in the movie version, is known for his love for riddles and puzzles. There is still no updates whether he will wear the question-filled body suit as part of his new wardrobe.

This is the second time that the show added a familiar face from "Batman Returns" since The Riddler. However, it is not yet revealed if they will use the same versions of the mentioned characters.
