DC earth 293 Riddler — Description
The Riddler as he appears on my DC earth 293. He also got a black variant of the Bowler hat, but since it was such a minor detail I didn't add it here. (Might show it in a later drawing) I was also partially inspired by the Riddler from season 2 of Batman Telltale.

BACKGROUND

_____________

When Edward Nygma grew up, he always had a fascination with Puzzles and riddles. Wanting to be able to solve them all. In later years, he got himself a job as the computer tech at the Gotham Police department, and his love for Riddles continued. However, as he worked there, He began to feel bored with his life. Until he met a girl whom he fell in love with, but she was seeing someone, and when Nygma learned her boyfriend was abusive against her, he managed to use his intellect to frame him. but when the Boyfriend got out, Nygma ended up killing him. When the girl learned this, he tried to make her understand he did it for her, but she wouldn't listen and it ended with Nygma accidentally killing her. In fear of prison he hid the body, and erased all evidence of the murders...and nobody questioned it. He had gone away with it, and he felt a thrill because of it. It was a new challenge in his life. He continued to do crimes, but as he felt it was too easy he left clues and riddles to his crimes, but nobody managed to solve them..until the Batman came on the scene, and stopped Nygma. Inspired by Batman's theatrical apparoch with his costume, Nygma remade himself into "The Riddler" And began terrorizing gotham in a game against Batman, trying to prove himself the superior intellect. However, after a long while, he got himself into a gang war with the Joker, but after the war had ended, the Riddler continued his games against Batman, trying to prove himself the smartest one of them, and trying to kill batman from time to time.
