For whatever reason people expect Edward to be a normal dude who accidentally went into a vat of riddles thus turning him into the Riddler.![]()
I don't have a problem with the Nygma stuff, and not sure why many seem to. If you can't handle the words "riddle" or "puzzle" popping up in converstion in reference to Nyma once in awhile or a question mark making an appearance on his tie clip/coffee mug, I don't know what to tell you. The man is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, fun facts, and figuring things out. Riddles are literally an essential part of The Riddler's schtick.

If you would prefer a character named Edward Nygma to exist on the show but never try to say a riddle or for the other characters to never mentioned his obsession with puzzles, then he would likely be the Riddler in name only and his later "transformation" would come completely out of left field, or wouldn't be earned.
It's clear what the writers and the show are going for here. Right now, Ed is pretty damn annoying, always trying to shove his riddles or puzzles on people, poking his head into matters that don't concern him to "help" or solve puzzles for others. The man clearly has a high intellect and he seems to be looking for some kind of gratification for his talents and hobby. And yet, no one is showing him any respect. In fact, people on the show are being quite mean to him and often won't even let him get one of the riddles out of his mouth before cutting him off or telling him to shut up. The show is peppering these moments into the series without it completely affecting any storylines yet.
I imagine that down the line, Nygma will find a way to MAKE people pay close attention to his riddles and intellect...as The Riddler.

Taking a plunge into a vat of riddles must be an enlightening experience.
This Nygma is annoying to me at least, and I've never found the character annoying. Over the top yes, but never wanted him off the screen before. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't make it for me regardless of the intentions of the writers. It may be how he's being directed, but whatever it is they're doing, it ain't working for me.
Then again , aside from the ending , I really didn't think the episode was all that good so its not like Nygma was the deciding factor for all of the like 5 minutes of total time he was in it. He didn't make the difference, but didn't help it either.
Alrighty then.
I've always hated Nygma. I was really happy Nolan didn't use him and ill be happier if he's only referenced in the solo Batman film with Affleck. This Gotham version was shoehorned in from the get-go, but now they're giving him something to do besides peek his head into an office and make a lousy riddle. But the actor is doing his job. He's Edward Nygma, i admit. I just find the character annoying, so naturally i think this guy is as well.It's funny, while watching the show I can hear all of the groans every time Nygma's on-screen but I actually like the character. He's so awkward and socially inept that you can understand him spiraling out of control. I seriously don't have a problem w/ him at all.
Selina on the other hand. Maybe it's because she's so young is why I have a problem w/ her. The not-so subtle head turns and cat-like movements annoy me.
Like I've said in previous episodes, Bullock is really growing on me and you can see how Gotham has turned him into the cynic he's become.
This. A million times over. It's one of the worst things i've seen in Batman related live-action. I don't even know why she's on the show.OTOH Selina is just annoying. Someone mentioned how being Catwoman and acting like a cat are two different things and I think that's dead-on. She creeps around in look at me I'm a cat isn't that cool mode, complete with goggle ears in case you missed the obvious. It's just stupid and needs to stop.
The second sin they made is the emphasis, each episode, on some random made-up killer. It makes this show lose focus. It's a distraction from the main plot involving the mob and nothing but filler.
"Holy Ghost on a bicycle" people are being paid to write lines like that. Think about that for a second lol.
