| Storyline |
From
Arkham, Riddler told the story of his youth. Eddie
Nigma was an only child and a mediocre student.
No one had time for him or the answers to his questions.
He learned to cheat while in school and ended up
winning a prize being the fastest person to put
a puzzle together. That only led to bullies.
The prize he won was a book on puzzles and trickery.
With it, he found his calling. After school, he
got a job as a delivery man and became a smalltime
thief. That didn't challenge him so he began leaving
riddles and clues at the scene of his crimes. The
cops, led by Lt. Gordon, finally figured things
out and found him. So did the Batman. Dumb luck
saved him and he was able to escape.
No one wanted to work with him on his next score
until he was mugged by two girls in costume. They
joined on with him as Echo and Query. A crossword
puzzle sent Batman and the police to one location,
but they chose the wrong one. Riddler and his girls
were ripping off an underwater vault. Though Batman
intervened, Riddler made off with around $2 million.
The next heist had them stealing some one-of-a-kind
music instruments. Batman was in on the ransom and
took down Echo and Query. He nabbed the Riddler
at an opera.
Nigma realized there was no one behind the glass
of his cell to hear the story he related and cracked.
