Publisher Description
Actor and writer Paul Dano understands the Riddler’s every motivation…
As depicted in Matt Reeves’s hit movie The Batman, the Riddler wasn’t simply an amusing eccentric with an affinity for wordplay and baffling clues, but as terrifying a villain as any in the annals of the Dark Knight. Here you can see Edward Nashton evolve into the menace known as the Riddler. How did an unknown forensic accountant uncover the dark secrets of Gotham’s underworld and come so close to bringing down the entire city? This six-issue miniseries is an immediate prequel to The Batman-the detailed, disturbing, and at times shocking story of a man with nothing to lose.
Artist Stevan Subic makes his American comics debut, collaborating with Dano to deliver a shadowy and gritty tale of a society’s forgotten man who refuses to go unnoticed any longer. Subic’s recent Conan the Cimmerian for French publisher Glénat has brought him great acclaim in Europe, and he’s about to break out globally with a Batman series unlike any you’ve seen before.
Customer Reviews
favorite iteration of the riddler
sure yeah, i do love the classics. but the gritty, dark, terrifyingly real life iteration of the riddler present in batman (2022) is phenomenal. dano really brings him to life, and as shown in this comic, really understands the madness he put on the screen.
does a fantastic job of representing edward’s withdrawn personality and social ineptitude, and the little bouts of intrusive thoughts that plague him day to day. really shows the mental struggle as well as the way the city has again and again chewed him up and spit him out. can’t wait to see more from both dano and subic!
