    I do wonder the possibility if there any correlation between the original writers choice to the name Ed Nygma and Hitlers infamous Enigma cryptograph machine? Just a wonder perhaps worth a ponder if anyone knows the original causality behind the choice of the name.

    I think it's just a spin on the word Enigma (Edward Nygma, E. Nygma) more than anything else, but to be honest I don't know much about how Riddler was conceptualized so I suppose it could be true?
