I HID 400 TROPHIES IN ARKHAM CITY BECAUSE I'M A BITCH !!

AnywYs happy Halloween here's my gayass costume 😭 I didn't feel like painting my cane and I couldn't find a question mark one that was medical grade so I could use it so. Stfu.

I like it when they make Edward Nygma a cute boy they should keep doing that forever I think

Okay this is out of pocket but I need to say it: If a woman called the riddler pathetic he'd get hard. I appreciate the Batman 2022 actually making him scary and villainous but that is not at all accurate, this is a twink that whimpers and wants to be told what to do.

More BTAS chibi keychain designs because the BNA art style and redesigns are making me sad

[talesfromthenorsesmouth]

this is a very scruffy little sketch to be tidied up but hey, it's Edward and the girls so it brings me joy

I imagine Edward finding living with two ladies very strange initially, given beforehand he was living by himself in a basement room, and they all have to crowd round the mirror in the tiny bathroom to do their makeup, but they are very helpful in dying his hair and lend him earrings

(This is still fairly early on I think, hence why neither Query nor Echo really have question mark costumes, but no doubt they will soon start working on it.)

[skell3]

Finally trying to design a Riddler to go along with my Crane?

60's style?

More likely than you think.

Pose Ref. under the bar.

Edward Lawrence Reese

Aliases: E. Nygma, The Riddler

Honorably discharged from the air force due to behavioral issues after only a brief period as an airman first class, Reese successfully pursued a career in education at Gotham University. He taught for eight years until falling victim to a car crash which injured his head and killed the secondary driver, after which he recovered but noticeably changed, his emotional issues becoming worse than ever. Having previously been tested with an IQ of 185, Reese believed himself to be over qualified for his position as an english professor and treated his coworkers and students alike as beneath him. His narcissistic personality resulted in him losing his position and isolating himself from society, his frustration eventually reaching a boiling point when he began to plan elaborate crimes to showcase his intellect. Having no friends or family to speak of, he developed a deep resentment for others and felt like an outcast, causing him to begin hiding his face with an opera mask, inspired by the story Phantom of the Opera. Around this time he modified his air force flight suit with a large question mark on the chest and back and began committing his initial crime spree. At each scene he left letters to the press signed E. Nygma with hidden messages and puzzles, though before the police allowed these to be published he was already known by the alias assigned by The Gotham Gazette, The Riddler. After 3 kidnappings, 3 bombings and 3 first degree murders, Reese was incapacitated and apprehended by the infamous Batman vigilante, after which he was deemed unfit for trial and admitted to Arkham State Hospital. During a security incident he and several other inmates have escaped and are thought to be hiding out in the shadows throughout the city's districts. Citizens are cautioned to be on the lookout for a lean caucasian male with reddish brown hair and green eyes, standing around 5'11 ft tall with a small mole on his right cheek, likely dressed in the color green, which he has a neurotic obsession with.

Dappy!verse Riddler lore

Born Eduardo Enigmar to Franklin Enigmar and Julia Osorio, in a small city in the east coast. Together they were a happy enough family.

He was a quiet kid and often was left to manage himself and often was used to console and comfort his parents. He was terrified of disobeying the rules as his mother would refuse to talk to him or look after him for days at a time when he would misbehave.

At school, He was always talented, well behaved, and was placed in advanced courses or pushed up by a few grades. He didn’t have many friends as he was seen as weird and creepy by the other kids.

He loved detectives, his favorite books as a child being Sherlock Holmes. He’d often investigate small mundane things for fun, find out what keeps getting into the trash, whose moving in next-door, and one day he decided to investigate where his father went for his frequent business trips.

He followed Franklin to another town and watched as he rejoined a family. A mother and son he hadn’t seen before but Franklin seemed to know. Before he was caught he rushed himself home and told his mother.

His mother was angry with him for running off and coming back with a crazy story. She refused to believe him.

Shortly after the birth of his younger sister, Malory who was almost 15 years younger than him, his parent’s marriage became rocky and the truth finally came out that Franklin had a second family.

Throughout the divorce proceedings Ed tried his best to be supportive and helpful to his mother but was only met with anger, she blamed him for it all. He had dropped out of his senior year in high school to take care of his mother and Malory. His mother would always shout and treat him with distain as she only saw Franklin when she looked at him, to the point where she tried to get Malory to never look at him.

After a few years, when Malory began school, one petty fight between Ed and his mother boiled over into him leaving without a way for them to contact him.

He traveled around, couch surfing, and never being able to hold a steady job. It was slim as to which stores would hire him due to his lack of a diploma. After awhile he ended up in Gotham, where he not only got forged documents but he also changed his name. From Eduardo Enigmar to Edward Nygma to finally distance himself from his family and the man that ruined his childhood.

In Gotham he became a PI, unable to be employed by the GCPD due to his lack of proper training, a rather successful one at that, due to his affordability mainly. Despite being an upstanding investigator the GCPD officers he worked with never liked him, often poking fun at him or messing with evidence.

He was hired to investigate a murder one day, the problem however being that, the murder wasn’t reported to the police before the case was given to him. So when the police were tipped off there was no other possible suspect but him, there was a jarring lack of evidence to prove his innocence.

What ‘incriminating’ evidence was found was his forged documents, a name change, and a manic denial. After a psychological evaluation he was deemed criminally insane and sentenced to Arkham.

The brutal treatment in Arkham (electroshock therapy and misperscribed medicine) and the trauma of being framed finally culminated with his anger and left him catatonic for months and prone to hallucinations. However, In an outburst he attacked and seriously injured a guard and himself causing him to need a mobility aid once it healed. After the attack he was resigned to solitary.

There his hallucinations only got worse and He realized people were always going to blame him for things gone wrong and only see evil in him. So he decided to let go on trying to be the good person he had been trying to be for so many years. He realized that no one but himself cared about his justice.

As he was used to investigation and puzzle solving, escaping from the asylum was rather easy. (He was quite proud that he was able to switch his place and his aloof guard’s)

However once he was out it was trickier, he couldn’t return to his apartment or office as the leases had broken during his incarceration. After wandering through the labyrinth that were the Gotham streets he sunk into the iceberg lounge for a place to sleep.

He managed to lay low and go unnoticed, thanks to the help of two of the women who worked there (Nina and Diedre) for a few days before Oswald took notice of him.

Their first interaction included Oswald blackmailing Ed with his estranged family and Ed threatening Oswald’s life. Despite the rocky start Ed soon proved himself to Oswald to be usefully and trustworthy (through many heists and investigations to rivals) and Oswald proved himself to be caring to Ed, something he had not been accustomed, and they became closer. Both have confided in the other about their pasts and trust no one more than the other.

With Oswald’s influence and the help and support of Nina and Diedre he became more and more bold with his crimes and eventually became The riddler we know and love
