Gotham season 2 was pretty eventful for Cory Michael Smith’s Edward Nygma. After embracing his dark side near the end of season 1, Nygma continued on the path towards all out villainy when he framed Jim Gordon for murder and even tried to kill Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox in Arkham Asylum while serving as Hugo Strange’s henchman.
But Edward Nygma is no mere lackey! It’s his destiny to become the Riddler, one of Batman’s most devious and clever foes…who is also known to wear a skintight outfit and accessorize with question marks. However, the Edward Nygma of Gotham hasn’t picked his supervillain name yet, much less his signature look.
In an exclusive deleted video from DC All Access, Smith and his Gotham co-star Erin Richards are asked when Nygma might go full Riddler and wear the spandex costume on screen. It’s a question that haunts Smith, but probably not for the reason you think.

Also, Mazouz hints that the Mad Hatter will have a personal significance for Bruce when and if he finally shows up on the series!
