D. J. David B. Spins Comics-Tunes: Riddle Me This…
Here’s a riddle for you. Q: How can a TV show which started out so bad turn out so good? A: When yours truly, DJ David B. steps in to straighten it out! Although I’m not one to brag, I take full credit for the recent turnaround of the TV series Gotham. It’s all thanks to the scathing editorial I wrote a couple weeks back (check the archives if you don’t believe me). I wrote about the excessive violence of the first few episodes and the powers that be at Warner Brothers/DC Comics listened. You’re welcome.
Which brings me to The Riddler. Last night’s episode featured one Edward Nygma getting on everyone’s nerves. Now I didn’t come down with the last raindrop. I can see that Mr. E. Nygma is sooner or later going to become The Riddler, and get on Batman’s nerves. (In Gotham, that’s a career path.)
The Riddler was a minor villain in the comic books, became world famous on the 1966 Batman TV show, and continued to be a major player in the Batman movies. It’s only fitting that this giggling enigma – oh, I just got that! – play a big part in the Gotham show.
Q: When is an action figure not an action figure? A: When it’s still in the package.
To celebrate The Riddler’s increasingly active role, we present our usual: some cool pictures, a comic book cover, and a record. Don’t thank us, it’s what we do.
