Dano and director Matt Reeves’ interpretation of the character as a masked serial killer is a bit of a departure from the traditional comic book version. But the comic book Riddler evolves all the time and his latest return to Gotham City is as a populist media personality.
Using his platform and newfound media influence to confound Batman, the Dark Knight Detective has to piece together the Riddler’s latest clues as he places his followers in Gotham City in the line of fire.
The start of a new story arc, Detective Comics #1059 is co-written by Tamaki and Nadia Shammas with interior art and a cover by superstar artist Ivan Reis and variant covers by Lee Bermejo and Rodolfo Migliari.
