The I thought how the riddler needs to come back and well how about this:
The riddler was born an autistic child
he had very bad social skills and it was very hard to communicate
Though his mother found that he loved riddles and word games and playing with his toys in very particular way, most notably making rube goldberg-esque situations and also being elaborate with dominoes. He communicated very little other than with his mother and would spend hours playing with toys.
His father never liked or wanted him but his mother loved him dearly, he knew both their feelings but had a hard time with emotion as he didnt quite understand them.
Already in a strained relationship the father seeks solace in another woman. One day Ed sees this as he is with his father and is angered by the betrayal. The father taken aback by his son opening up as he didnt expect this from him beats him horrifically and repeatedly tells him to not tell his mom or he will beat him again. Ed recedes back in his shell more than ever, his mother wonders what is wrong but Ed cannot even though he wants too.
The affair continues and anger builds inside young nigma. One day during a game with his mom he he gives her a strange riddle that makes her become suspicious of her husband. She confronts him but he denies anything and says to think nothing of what nigma says, angering ed. Later while his mom is at work and his father is watching him, the other woman comes over. Furious ed steals his fathers phone, calls his mom but does not say anything but instead let her listen to the other two. She comes home immediately to confront them, ed is pleased by this, but the confrontation grows out of control. Eds father attacks him but his mom steps in, the father pushes his mother who thenhits her neck on a table she is comatose.
In the hospital she eventually dies. Ed with this loss has lost his only window into the world and the only person he loved and loved him. His father does not care and only complains about hospital bills. All ed can think about is revenge on his father.
Ed puts on an act to lead his father into the garage. When he enters he sets off a trap that kills him to look like an accident. Nigma is pleased. Authorities soon arrive after calls from worried neighbors only to find nigma playin with his toys an his father dead in the garage.
Nigma is taken by police to be moved into care and while at the station playing happily with his toys when he notices a boy crying. He offers him a toy but the boy does not respond, ed does not understand as toys usually make him content. Ed offers until the boy eventually takes it and they play for a short time. The two play in silence until officer gordon tells the other boy a man has come to take him home. Ed doesnt want him to stop playing but is told he has to go. Ed asks for the boys name which he gives, Bruce.
Ed is sent into foster care and has a rough life with other. He doesnt form any real relationships but becomes good with computers and does very well at school. He reflects on the days of riddles with his mom, ridding himself of his father and the fun he had playing with bruce wayne. Poor and on his own he devises plans to gain wealth through scams and hacking. He gets great joy in this until one day the police catches on to him. Riddler becomes aware of this and flees but before he does writes down something, a note and leaves it on his door. On the note is a riddle. Ed does not know why he did this but grins heavily then leaves.
Many instances later, commissioner gordon gives a file to the batman filled to the brim with riddles. Batman looks these over and finds when solved they give locations, actions and insults.
Batman takes the case and heads out to find the man.
Eventually he finds him, the riddler is shocked, angered and in disbelief. But also he is happy that someone solved his riddle and found him.
Batman wishes to take him in and the riddler agrees. The riddler stares at the batman, studying him. He must know who he is. In jail, locked up, the riddlers obsession grows. He begins to act crazy, threatens staff(all an act). He is moved to arkham where he will devise a plan of escape.
