Paul Dano, alongside Stevan Subic, will lead the story of Edward Nashton, an ordinary accountant who will follow his path to become an assassin feared by Gotham and a great nemesis of the Dark Knight.
The story of this special has several elements which could inspire a prequel film, although Paul Dano himself pointed out in an interview for Empire that for this story to reach the big screen it must meet certain characteristics
“I think it would have to be different as well… You don’t just want to directly adapt a comic book into a movie. But I loved doing The Batman more than I thought I would.”.
Dano pointed out that the story he developed for this comic was written from the elements he brought to the Riddler at the time of filming The Batman.
“I thought what I have to offer, hopefully, is as much emotional and psychological life for the character as possible… I secretly thought, ‘This could be something cool as a comic”.
The story before Riddler
The actor and also a filmmaker stressed the importance of giving Riddler a previous story so that in The Batman movie he would have the impact that captivated viewers.
“One of the important steps for me (in preparing a character) is creating a backstory.… It’s about getting to page one of the script… so you’re operating in part from the character’s subconscious.”.
Riddler: Year One, written by Paul Dano and drawn by Stevan Sibic, will be available for purchase on October 25. In Máxico SMASH and DC Comics México will inform you in a timely manner on their social networks and official page of the launch of this story.
