Welp, you no longer have to refer to Edward Nygma as proto-Riddler.
Even though Gotham is going on hiatus until April 24, FOX has released a trailer for its spring premiere—which is titled "Mad City: How the Riddler Got His Name."
The sneak preview features our first look at Nygma as The Riddler. After shooting Penguin (who confessed his love for Ed and his role in Isabella's death) in tonight's winter finale, Nygma has begun his transformation into the formidable, riddle-speaking supervillain we know and love. And as you can see in the trailer, he's now wearing his signature green suit (and the question mark)—though he doesn't have his trademark cane yet.
"I do not have a cane yet," actor Cory Michael Smith told Cinema Blend, "but I want one so badly for a few different reasons; I won't tell you all of them so I don't spoil anything, but I'm pitching very had for a cane. He does think they'll get him one eventually, but cryptically teased, "I want him to be someone who deserves a f--king cane. He needs to be someone that's just begging for a cane."
