Arkham File: Patient Edward Nashton Aka The Riddler, was a college graduate, Who landed at the GCPD Crime division. He gained information about the GCPD’s corrupt doings overtime and started a campaign to attack the GCPD and blackmail them. The Batman got wind of this and pursued Nashton, but Nashton allowed Batman to temporarily stop him because of his interest in the masked vigilante. He later released the information regardless because, he no longer wanted to attacked the GCPD, but instead outsmart the Batman. He reappeared once more, but this time under his Riddler persona. He wanted to test Batman and set bombs all over Gotham in order to see if Batman intellect was on his level and wore a mask to see if Batman could deduce his true identity. Batman solves every puzzle, but also found hidden clues in each answer that lead him to an abandoned building near Dixon docks that he had been previously owned. Nashton tried to make his escape, but found that the building was surrounded by the GCPD. Nashton was arrested and was sent to Arkham Asylum. In sessions with Nashton we discovered that he stole for fun as a kid and loved to always be right by outsmarting people by cheating. This came with a price though, he was lonely throughout high school and college and was always mocked by his father, who saw him as a wimp. He eventually escaped during a riot and began a campaign to become the smartest and most powerful man in the underworld. He started this by humiliating and selling out Arthur Brown Aka Cluemaster, to make it known that there is only man who outsmarts Batman with clues left at the scene of the crime. He also killed Jessica Duchamp’s Father which caused her to become the Puzzler. Some time after this, he started a crime war with the Joker over who Could kill Batman first. This caused a major spike in crime as all criminals started choosing sides and civilians got caught in the crossfire. Ironically Batman choose to work with the riddler and used Chuck Brown Aka Kite-man as a mole in Riddlers gang. The two stopped the war and all parties dispersed. After this Nashton also discovered one of the League of Assassins Lazarus Pits and started a campaign to outsmart The Batman, even claiming that he knew Batman’s identity at one point. He was later beaten and humiliated by many criminals and eventually started kidnapping Professors and extremely smart individuals to try and beat them at puzzles. He usually failed, but he would still kill them or their family members. He finally tried to outsmart Batman by luring commissioner James Gordon into a virtual reality simulator connected to the brain. Batman went in and rescued the commissioner, and pulled the plug on the machine. They traced the source to Riddler where he was found in a comatose state for not disconnecting his brain before the program was shutdown. Nashton was in a coma for six months, until recently when he awoke with his insanity and obsession of Batman gone. His intellect was still in tact and he became a private investigator. He has been criticized and attacked by his victims and other angry individuals because of his previous crimes when he was insane. A prime example was a case in which a multitude of people who were wronged by Nashton Like Arthur Brown and Jessica Duchamp wanted to ruin his newly built life. They framed him for murder and tried to kill him, but The Batman had been watching Nashton and new of his innocence. The GCPD and Batman saved Nashton before he was killed and was cleared of all charges. Nashton still works as a private investigator to this day and is now legally sane.
