Gotham returns tonight with an episode that centers on The Riddler — and wherein he will actually go by the name “The Riddler” for the first time — so of course, series star Cory Michael Smith took to the carpet at WonderCon recently to make sure people were noticing him.

He posed for the picture above with a Batman ’66 cosplayer dressed as TV‘s first live-action Riddler, as played by Frank Gorshin.
The fan’s name is Howard Gensler, who’s a great fan of all things Batman and also an avid cosplayer. This isn’t his first brush with a notable cosplay day, either; Gensler won the Gamestop 75th Batman Anniversary Costume Contest as an Adam West-styled Batman.
Tonight’s return episode, titled “Heroes Rise: How the Riddler Got His Name,” is airing now on the East Coast.

Nygma convinces himself that he doesn’t need Penguin to succeed and begins to introduce himself to Gotham as “The Riddler.” Bullock and Lucius Fox get caught up in Nygma’s mind games, while Gordon learns troubling news about his father’s death.
