#and yes it does happen fairly early on. 5 years after bruce's training with ra's ended

[t4tails]

if this is actually early in the timeline then wouldn't that mean zero year and twojar would have both just happened recently? being batman's year zero and year one respectively? ofc this is only because the writers (tom king) can't keep their characters consistent but i like to imagine this means post n52 riddler just has a random drastic personality change in universe every few months and no one mentions it cause they all just accept it as the way he is. this includes inexplicable muscle and height growth ofc

every riddler is actually an entirely new and different guy pretending to be the original
