The Batman’s Riddler, Paul Dano, Will Write Riddler: Year One Comic

While character origins continue to be skipped on the big screen, we’re excited to be getting Dano’s take on Nashton’s rise in comic book form. If it will essentially be an expanded adaptation utilizing the backstory that Matt Reeves and Dano made for their creepy serial killer vigilante remains to be seen. That approach would make the most sense, as the actor has said he may have gotten in too deep with research for the character.

The official synopsis from DC reveals that “this series explores the background of how accountant Edward Nashton went from a simple Gotham City nobody to becoming Batman’s nemesis, setting them on a collision course in the blockbuster feature film.” Even if the comic book series is just based on things Dano and Reeves want to expand on, to help fill us in on the mechanics of the Riddler’s mind, to be able see a glimpse of what is usually an actor’s private work to create a role shared like this is really cool.

Now, where’s our Selina Kyle series confirmation?
