The Riddler was never my favorite Batman villain. To me, he always seemed like the Joker, if the Joker went out of his way to get caught via a series of easily decipherable clues. But I’m not running Fox’s upcoming Gotham, so no one gives a shit what I think about the Riddler, who will be played by an actor named Cory Michael Smith.

Entertainment Weekly describes Edward Nygma, aka the Riddler, thusly:

…Nygma is a brilliant young forensic scientist working for Gotham PD and 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.

So, he writes for GAMbIT, then? Smith joins a cast that already includes the likes of Donal Logue and Jada Pinkett Smith (playing a gangster named “Fish Mooney,” which, LOL).
