The Riddler: Year One #1

[cyberghostface]

"I think it was one of my last nights of filming…[The Batman director] Matt Reeves and I had talked a lot about backstory. We get along really well. We’re both a little bit like-minded in a sort of very meticulous, thorough, maybe semi-obsessive approach to our work. So in preparation, we talked a lot about Edward. I had read so many comics to prepare for the part that I felt like his backstory should have that sort of archetypal essence that comic images have, where it’s almost like an image tells the story. I did have key backstory images in my mind, so I told Matt about a couple of them, and he was like, 'that should be a comic.' I secretly thought it could be, but I hadn’t expressed that, except maybe to my wife… And literally the next day, either he or our producer, Dylan Clark, spoke to DC." -- Paul Dano
