Honestly one of the things I love about this iteration of Riddler is that he is legitimately smart, rather than deluded or 'just book smart'

[Rockyboyy]

The best Riddler, Penguin, Alfred, and Jim Gordon in my opinion. These guys deserve more credit for the performances they put on this show.

Goofy as he can be, I love this version of Riddler. Cory Michael Smith nailed both the theatricality, brilliance, awkwardness, and thorough meticulousness of the Riddler, as well as his look and mannerisms.

[Maikigai]

I couldn’t disagree with you more on his wardrobe. To me, it’s the Riddler suit. Perfected.

[Mytesmyth]

He was bitten by a radio active question mark and that’s how he became the riddler

The Riddler is one of the greatest examples of “What differs a supervillain from a villain is presentation.” You know that he doesn't have actual super powers, most of the time doesn't even have resources or gangs to commit big crimes, but something about him tells you that he just can't be stopped by regular people. You know he'd always find a way to escape the asylum and start preparing for his next personal ego show.

All the Villains in Gotham were brilliant. Gotham was a criminally underrated show. Yes it was messy, with a rough first season, but still fun with solid acting, great world building and some of the best Gotham villain portrayals around.

The riddler was actually what got me into Gotham because i had no interest in a younger Bruce wayne story. The riddler was very charming, mysterious and socially awkward exactly who I imagined him to be. Besides the Riddler it was Jeremiah that kept me watching the show I loved seeing his slow decent into madness it was a nice change of pace from the usual Joker brand of madness

[The_Phantasm]

The Riddler is my all-time favourite Batman villain and honestly in my opinion the Arkham games have the best depiction of The Riddler outside the comics. Wally Wingert who voiced the character in all 4 games always delivered such an incredible performance that always managed to perfectly capture Riddler's obsessive personality, massive ego and superiority complex. Whenever I read comics with Riddler it's Wally's voice I hear in my head.

[Charlie_Azrael]

Joker, Riddler, and Penguin were always the big three Batman villains to me. This show did all three incredibly well.

[IronLordEXO]

It's crazy how this show is being appreciated all of a sudden. The show may have been about Bruce and Gordon, but Penguin and Riddler carried it

[landismithCOJ]

Cory Smith brought a new type of crazy to the character. Excellent casting.

[vaguevillainy]

This is hands down THE Riddler of a lifetime. I loved him as the socially awkward guy at the GCPD, loved that his downward spiral into such a comical character was very believable, loved him as The Penguin's friend and love interest (that subplot was truly something else), and loved him after he chilled down a bit and just did his own thing. He was perfect to contrast The Penguin who's always evolving in the show; once his true colors showed, The Riddler never tries to change, didn't even have the capacity to imagine it despite his smarts, because some vain part of him insists that he's already better than everybody else. And in some aspects, he was. Whenever he had the chance to flex his intelligence, I always think the GCPD and Gordon in particular must really rue the day such a good pair of hands chose the darker path.

To be honest I really liked his outfit in his show, it just feels like the riddler to me. Especially in the finale when he had the question mark trench coat.

[Aqsticgod]

i agree, the whole dual personality shtick was a bit weird, but then i realized it wasnt so much a dual personality but him going through a transition and the only way he could cope was by talking to himself seeing as he thinks hes the smartest person in the world. i mean there are a lot of undertones with that but yeah, in execution it was done well and in the end we didnt get it as much when the final episodes came about

[dynaguy]

I was blown away with how perfectly cast the Riddler was when I first started watching the show

[haraldemerson]

By far my favorite Riddler. The first Edward Nigma who could be taken seriously.

[Reece_Hart]

The relationship between Riddler and Penguin on Gotham was one of my favourite things related to Batman full stop. Cory Michael Smith's acting and the writers ability to balance the cheesiness we all associate with the Riddler with a more serious darker toned criminal was absolute perfection

[HugoGonzalez-]

Dude Hugo Strange character on Gotham was pretty good. The Riddler was one of my favorite characters from Gotham.

[scoobydoo]

I honestly loved the two personalities. I felt this added to how one half of him is a great kind person while the other is this evil and feels the need to show off. This also was true to the comics because Edward Nygma did have a split psyche.
