Gotham's Cory Michael Smith explains how his Gotham character, Edward Nygma, is a ticking time-bomb.

I just don't understand why no one liked him in the first place? Like, he's super intelligent, he's quirky, he's adorably dorky and he seems nice enough. I just wish they had realised all that before he ticked...
@xax80298 жыл бұрын
He probably sent people too many dank memes for their liking.
@awkwardpaulie7 жыл бұрын
They (the people who don't like Nygma) are molded by society to think that people who aren't "normal" are to be described as weird, insane, or freaks. Nygma doesn't fit into social norms - so they immediately don't like him because he's something different.
@awkwardpaulie7 жыл бұрын
Ton Jones I feel like your anger toward me is deeper than my appearance and explanation of why people don't like Nygma. either way, I don't care for your nonsense & attempt at hurting my feelings. Don't use appearances or assumptions about anther person to justify your blind anger. Also, I'm aware of some people liking Ed. He's odd, handsome & intelligent, yet those three features aren't what most see. for example: Officer Dougherty didn't like Ed, Miss Kringle didn't like him at first. A few Officers had shown dislike toward Ed by bullying him. It wasn't just Bullock.
@chizoioioi7 жыл бұрын
Most people just suck. Some people were fond of him though, like the old captain and Gordon. To others he was genuinely annoying and a bit creepy. Dislike Kringle if you will but she picked up on the vibes.

I've been a Batman fan my whole life, and I've always liked the idea of the Riddler, but I've just never felt that anyone has truly captured him on the screen. Corey Michael Smith has used 75 years worth of the Riddler's existence and mastered it in my opinion. Favorite character of the show, with Penguin just behind him.

Jerome and riddler are spot on with maybe a few changes. Penguin captures every aspect of the penguin character except gives him a dramatic almost corny and laughable demeanor sometimes. But since the character of penguin was originally meant to be funny, that's also in character. He is the penguin perfectly translated. Of course the silver age version of him and riddler are no DIRECTLY referenced because theyre so different but it's there in the performance. Penguin captures every aspect of the character over the years especially in my opinion all his unlikable traits. Especially in season one and season five. Especially season one. He turned his prom date into a pr*stitute in Batman Triumphant. It is ridiculous but disturbing. He is also insecure about his appearance which he also is in season one even though he looks different

And now I’m starting to do the same with Cory except I always notice how good he is because riddler is such and underrated character.
