4. The Riddler
When you think of The Riddler, Jim Carrey’s over-the-top version from Batman Forever likely comes straight to mind, but there is in fact an awful lot more to the villain that those sorts of theatrics. Indeed, Edward Nygma is one of the only Batman villains to deduce that Bruce Wayne is Batman, and he would gleefully try to ruin his life in the critically acclaimed “Hush” storyline.
The Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles and word games, and can’t resist telling the police about his schemes beforehand, giving them a chance to stop him by figuring out his complex riddles. “The New 52” has portrayed Nygma as initially being an employee of Wayne Industries before losing the plot plunging Gotham City into darkness, so the advantages of introducing such a complex and interesting villain to this series is undeniably fascinating.
Uh what about Black Mask?!!!
I’d love to see them do something with the court of owls, but I think that May be too batman focused of a story line. That was one of my favorite batman storylines in a while
I think this show will be like Arrow in a sense where they make a bunch of references to different characters in the Batman/DC universe. Very excited for this show.
Very nearly included that in the list – seeing them play the same role in this series as the people running Gotham behind the scenes would be very cool. Hoping they’ll be used in the next Batman movie too though…
The less known about the Joker the better. We should NEVER find out everything about him, it would ruin the character.
