Riddler: Year was drawn by European Illustrator Stevan Subic, who previously worked with publishers Soleil, Titan, and Delcourt. According to the official press release sent out by DC Comics in March, the six issues will “explore the background of how accountant Edward Nashton went from a simple Gotham City nobody to becoming Batman’s nemesis.”
In the trailer, Dano and Reeves talk about the research that went into creating the serial killer who terrorized Gotham in The Batman.
Riddler’s backstory was hinted at during the later scenes of Reeves’ film. Dano brought up the villain’s troubled childhood and how he wanted to approach the comic in a subjective manner.
Riddler: Year One takes some inspiration from Frank Miller’s 1986 title Batman: Year One. The story reimagined Bruce Wayne’s journey into becoming the Caped Crusader and his war against the mob in Gotham.
The first issue of Riddler: Year One is now available for purchase.
