Just wanted to make a quick thing going over my Riddler and the small differences between V.1 and V.2

[theriddleskeeponriddling]

Figuring out my V.1 and V.2 hairstyles for Eddie, because i’m noticing that i’m becoming displeased with them. I like this style, but I need to change his younger design a lil’.

Also, i’m starting to really want to redesign Jon. But I can’t decide on short hair or longer hair…

(This is what @riddlertheoneandonly looks like. Age 33)

Screw my spanish class, remade this doodle of my V.2 Riddler instead

Enigma, or Elisa. Riddler’s young helper. [My Universe, V.2, Rough design]

Summary) Enigma is a teenager with an inspiration to be as just as ‘cool’ as the Riddler. She loves that his success as a rogue strives from his intelligence, and wants to be recognized by Gotham, just like him. She, after much bugging and begging, gets hired by Edward, and takes her new job as an opportunity to make her own name.

Personality) Enigma is energetic. Very optimistic around people she likes, very demeaning to those she doesn’t. Her symbol, (¿) is her attempt at making her own version of Riddler’s whole motif. She doesn’t ask riddles like Edward does, but loves to ask facts and info-dumps just as much. The ¿ is meant to reference the way that spanish grammar hints at a question. (she is hispanic) She often leaves her own puzzles around town, using graffiti to ask facts that hint to Riddler’s next scheme.

Relations) Riddler almost rejects Elisa, as he isn’t fond of kids. But he figures that Elisa could use some influence, as she has a few similar traits to Edward that he admires, and Riddler wouldn’t mind leaving an heir to his schemes whenever he inevitably quits crime. Elisa is also in great relations with Query and Echo. I plan for her to have common run-ins with one of the Robins, i’m not sure which one yet.

Reason for Deviation) I did, essentially, zero research into the original Enigma. If you are a fan of her, and hate this version, it makes sense. I don’t see my Crowverse Riddler as a guy who likes kids. He also is an Asexual man who’s probably never fallen in love, so the cause for a kid doesn’t fit in. This is why this version of Enigma is in no way related to Edward, and instead has two decent parents. I also don’t think he is fond of the idea for a ‘sidekick’ who is a carbon copy of himself. So, Enigma follows a slightly different motif from riddles and takes an interest in fun facts instead. Riddler wouldn’t want a sidekick who dresses in all latex, he prefers style, so Enigma covers herself up typically with jackets and pants, but she herself admits to wearing a suit underneath.

This takes place in (placeholder name) Crowverse V.2. Elisa takes on the name as Enigma, when Riddler is in his mid to late 30s. Crowverse V.1 is when Riddler is age 25-30 and V.2 is Riddler at age 33-40
