Written by Paul Dano with art by Stevan Subic, the story explores the psychological origins of the obsessive Gotham villain before his first clash with Batman. It's a dark, character-driven take on the Riddler's transformation from a troubled outsider into a criminal mastermind defined by his compulsion for puzzles and riddles.
In "The Riddler: Year One, Chapter 1: A New Beginning," Edward Nashton—quiet, precise, and deeply attuned to patterns—uncovers something unsettling in a routine financial audit. His attempt to report the anomalies sets off a ripple that forces him to confront a world he’s always tried to understand from a distance. Written by Paul Dano and illustrated by Stevan Subic, with a striking cover by Bill Sienkiewicz, this issue introduces a chillingly intelligent mind at the edge of a transformation.
Edward Nashton, a man who finds solace in logic and puzzles, stumbles upon strange discrepancies in a financial account he’s assigned to. His attempt to report them sets off a series of unsettling events that draw the attention of both his supervisor, Mr. Higgins, and a figure from Gotham’s shadows—Batman. As the city’s secrets begin to unravel, Edward must navigate a world where every answer leads to a new riddle, and not all puzzles are meant to be solved.
Edward Nashton digs deeper into a charity’s finances, uncovering a trail that leads straight to the Falcone crime family—despite orders to stop. As secrets unravel, the line between truth and deception blurs, and the Riddler’s obsession with facts begins to twist into something darker.
Edward Nashton, still unraveling the web of corruption, sends damning evidence of money laundering to the police—only to be met with silence. As he digs deeper into the conspiracy, the line between investigator and target begins to blur, and the choices he makes could define who he becomes. With Batman watching from the shadows and Richard Stone and Ana Joon entangled in the growing danger, Edward is forced to confront what he’s willing to sacrifice in pursuit of the truth.
Edward Nashton remembers a childhood defined by isolation—growing up in an orphanage, always the outsider, with no real hope for the future. That changes the day he meets Thomas Wayne, a man whose presence ignites a spark he didn’t know he was missing.
