Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Why, I'm glad our day-to-day interactions are amusing to you.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Careful, we might steal tha clown's act.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

I honestly doubt his ashes would mind. Oh! That reminds me, actually: Unfortunately, I hear there's a new one in town. Waller just doesn't know when to quit, she's bringing in alternative universe Rogues now, to join her ridiculous squad.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Wond'rful.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

You know, I really don't get her logic. Oh, we just took care of the biggest problem, but you know what? Why don't we bring the same problem back, just in a different font.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Heh. Sound at all familiar?

Edward inhales to make a snarky remark back at Jon, but then stops in his tracks, making the Scarecrow chuckle.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Ughh, see? This is what I get for dating my own psychiatrist. Honestly, though, better than dating the mayor, slash, mob boss. And before you say anything, you also decided to date your patient. We're equally at fault here.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Ahah... And this, kids, is whah yer parents shoulda got that divorce.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Good god, could you imagine us having children?

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

There's a good reason why none o' us Rogues gettem, Eddie. Unless ye'r tha' sadistic ta wanna one-up yer parents.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Ha! I'm already good enough at traumatizing children, thank you very much. But you know, now that you mention it, I heard an alternate me actually did have a child, a daughter, if I recall correctly.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Ya don't say. An' how'd that go?

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Exactly how you'd expect. Called her "Enigma" too, can you believe that? Who names their own child after a pseudonym of themselves?

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Oh I dunno Eddie, who on earth could possibly be doin' that? Why, I can't think o' nobody, can you?

Edward just lets out a long sigh.

C'mon, ye rid yerself inta that.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

You know, anon, it used to be a lot worse than this. Remember Harleen's birthday?

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Oh jesus lord christ, don' remind me o' tha'.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Baking the cake was a disaster - never before have I seen you so utterly incapable of following simple instructions. But I have to admit, I might have overreacted, a tiny small little bit, at one point or the other.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

Oh, wus that when ya tried ta discipline me ba usin' me as target practice, throwin' literal knives at me, or when ya burned me with da bakin' tin fresh outta the oven?

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Oooh, you've been through worse. Plus, you got your revenge when you strapped me to the bed, and tested your special toxin on me. That said, you see my point, though, right? We used to actually fight each other.

Jonathan Crane | The Scarecrow

An' if it wusn't fo' recent distractions, we'd still be at each other's throats. In a diff'rent way, anyweh.

Edward Nygma | The Riddler

Ahahah! Distractions. Well put.

Riddler's daughter in the "Arkham Academy" storyline from Urban Legends #21-23... I quite like this take on her og look from the last continuity.

[zal-cryptid]

DC queer characters possibility: Peter Milligan's The Enigma

I appear to have drawn the wrong Enigma - I didn't realize until just now that you said "Peter Milligan's". I thought that Enigma was a creator-owned Vertigo series unaffiliated with the DC universe?

Anyways, while I get to the bottom of that enigma (pun intended), enjoy the wrong Enigma:

DC characters - Enigma

[dailydccomics]

lmao Duela just wants to have fun ok!!! Teen Titans vol 3 #45

[arcanemoody]

Quinn: Hey Cass, do you think my dad has done cocaine? Cassandra: Your dad has DEFINITELY done cocaine.

[artisgonnabeok]

Enigma Nigma.

As always, more details/other versions underneath the cut:

Details:

Eyes: heterocromia specifically a reference to in the early days of his creation Riddlers eye color was blue and then it changed to green. Of course I made her iris's question marks but also the third eye highlight is also a question mark.

Skin:in the other version of the drawing she actually has a scar that you would get from a blunt object, this is a reference to her death in her second major appearance, also based her skin color off of Riddlers skin in the Arkham Games (her skin is typically more red or yellowish)

Also dramatic makeup as a nod to her mask, lip color is from her Tiny Titans appearance.

Hair: the top is from her Arkham Academy as well as her second major comic book appearance, the haircut itself is also from her Arkham Academy appearance but I decided to change it up a bit, her sides are based on how Riddlers hair is sometimes brown almost black also she has a question mark cowlick.

Body type: based it off of the fact that this chick has legs for days but also wanted to give her the brod shoulders she had in Arkham Academy.

Jewelry: the earrings are a nod to her original outfit while the bracelets are a reference to two Arkham Academy characters El'Sombero Jr aka Death Trap (the top bracelet is based off of him) and Lil'Kitten (the bottom bracelet) I used their main colors for the colors of the bracelet.

Phone: The color is a nod to the color of her question mark cane also the skull is a reference to a Arkham Academy character (The Noise specifically her shirt decal)

Boots: The heel part has her question marks (her question mark staff is jagged)

The laces are purple because of her design, but also, lace code (I know, Lace code is dead) would mean that she is queer (more of my own head cannon)

Gave her boots to make her legs look even longer

The socks also have question marks on them and is a reference to the riddler socks you can buy.

Fishnets: that is a reference to Echo and Query who are often shown wearing fishnets.

Jacket: a reference to Riddlers jacket/unbuttoned shirt in the Arkham games...it also has question marks. That's also why it's baggy as well and to show off brod shoulders.

Shirt: has tiny questions marks and is a reference to her Titans appearance/debut. It has a sweater like design which is a reference to her father.

Choker: a reference to her costume that goes to her neck/close to her neck.

Belt: Reference to her dad's which is why it also has a gold question mark on it,

Shorts:based off of her costume that has stripes while the color is based off of her shoe color from Tiny Titans/Titans.

All around, I wanted to give reference to her designs/attitudes as well as a reference to Riddler while still making it her own.

Her without glasses:

Colors and references I used for Enigma:

Her other version:

TW: Blunt scar, it's not too bad:
