Riddler

**Edward Nigma** (エドワード・ニグマ, *Edowādo Niguma*), who was driven by a compulsive obsession for attention and desire to prove his intellect to the world, fashioned himself into the iconic villain known simply as **Riddler** (リドラー, *Ridorā*). Creating complex conundrums and death traps, Edward prides himself in watching his helpless victims fail to find solutions to his puzzles and meet with grim fates as he gloats over his superior intellect. Batman is the only person Edward has ever met with the intellect and abilities to not only solve his riddles, but outsmart him, a fact that also drives Edward further over the edge. Desiring to outsmart and humiliate Batman before killing him, Riddler makes it his top priority to come up with a puzzle that not even the Dark Knight Detective can solve.

"*Are you ready for some more? Explore! Find my challenges. And when you fail to solve them and lie blubbering like an ignorant child on the floor, you will know that I, Riddler, is better than you.*"

—Riddler.
