In the movie Batman Forever,

Edward Nigma seems much younger than Batman, probably in his late 20's. But in the new TV show "Gotham" It portrays Edward Nigma to be older than Batman? So how old is he?

Riddler always seemed about the same age in the comics, maybe slightly younger. I don't recall a single instance of him being much, MUCH older than Bruce before Gotham came along.

The ages in Gotham are completely different than the ages in the comics. Most of the cops that appear in this show (Bullock, Montoya, Essen, Allen) have in this series already reached the ages and postions, they have in the comics when Bruce is already active as Batman for at least ten years. So they are around twenty year older as their comic counterparts. And Montoya is probably even younger than Bruce.

And Catwoman is also several years younger than Bruce in the comics.

In the Arkham Games, Riddler does physically seem older than Batman. In Pre-New 52. Riddler had a daughter and the way he was drawn towards the end of the Pre-New-52 would also indicate that he was middle aged.

Which its funny since Golden Age Catwoman was as the matter of fact, 5 year older that Batman.

They got that right by accident.

Gotham is horribly screwed up. That's your problem right there. Arrow does the Gotham thing much better.

@theorangelantern52: "In the movie Batman Forever, Batman is probably in his late 20's, and Edward Nigma seems much younger than Batman, probably in his late 20's." Late 20's is much younger than late 20's?!

I have one option story for the Riddler !

That he at past working in Wayne Enterprise and ''stole some research'' for some rival company. Thomas Wayne found it and fired him... Bruce/Batman latter discover about it, and start thinking that he kill his father for revenge !!! In that hunting story Edward become the Riddler :P

So... Riddler is older than Batman :P
