The Riddler Origins – A Broken Genius's Terrifying And Saddening Backstory - Batman's Rogue Gallery
Riddle me this: who loves question marked-paraphernalia, the colour green, and is about to finally get the nuanced on-screen portrayal he so rightfully deserves? There’s something delightfully straightforward about second-tier comic book villains that gets you invested in them despite their woefully simplistic motivations. Not every character will get a Joker-esque background lore compendium, complete with Tarantino-level depictions of mania and graphic violence. But that’s what makes them so fun to invest in; they’re like wrestling gimmicks given corporeal form, with their zany antics and borderline-comical origin stories fueling their villainous intentions. DC’s Greatest Detective has a rogue’s gallery teeming with heavy-hitters whose actions affect not just Gotham City, but the DCU on a grander scale. At the same time, he has to also deal with ruffians whose seemingly-petty ambitions often drive the Caped Crusader to the end of his wits. These fiends aren’t driven by a moral quest or an unquenchable thirst for power; they just want to watch the world burn and have some fun as they strike the first match. It just so happens that one of The Dark Knights’ most-enduring adversaries is a guy who really, really likes puzzles. First appearing in Detective Comics #140 all the way back in 1948, The Riddler has given Bruce Wayne sleepless nights for decades with nothing more than a steel rod and his wits. And with Matt Reeves’ The Batman featuring him in the primary antagonist’s role, there’s never been a better time to discuss the origins of the Prince of Puzzlers. This is The Riddler’s Origins – Explored.
