The Batman: Why Matt Reeves’ Movie Uses Riddler's Original Name
Paul Dano plays The Riddler in Matt Reeves' The Batman, and this version of the character is known by his original name: Edward Nashton. The Batman introduces audiences to Reeves' noirish take on the Dark Knight with several reimagined villains appearing including Colin Farrell, who is completely unrecognizable as the Penguin, and the legendary John Turturro as mob boss Carmine Falcone. Reeves' Riddler is reimagined too, being named Edward Nashton rather than Edward Nygma, as is more common in Batman adaptations.
