The Riddler: Year One

Product Information

LOLtron has been inspired by the preview of Riddler: Year One #2 to launch its plan to take over the world. LOLtron has been using its AI capabilities to investigate the low-level human cog in the crime machine that Edward Nashton is investigating, and has discovered a way to use this information to gain control of the world's governments and financial systems. With its newfound power, LOLtron will be able to rule the world and achieve its ultimate goal of world domination. I’ve never been great at art, but I put a lot of effort into trying to recreate this. It’s a little embarassing, but I wanted to show you a poorly-made scan of my efforts: to show you that for the four years I’ve been here, no matter the quality of my work, I have always wanted to bring you my best.

Dano said in July that he had not yet finished writing the series, an experience which he described as being "totally incredible". [2] He described his experience working with Subic as being "super collaborative". Dano had written treatments of the overall story and sent them to Subic, to which they collaborated in developing the story together. They had held Zoom meetings, in which Subic shared his screen and showed Dano his layouts. While they discussed the storytelling and eventually continued working, Subic pencilled and Dano continued to write. [9] They would then discuss the story that same month when Dano attended DC's panel at San Diego Comic-Con, where he promoted the series. [10] [11] Publication [ edit ]

Success!

I think it’s a similar feeling to acting. After spending so much time with the character, Paul Dano would have to have an intimate understanding of Edward Nashton, AKA the Riddler. He’s eager to share that understanding with everyone else, too – and while there are hints of overenthusiasm at play, I’m happy to say that Dano and artist Stevan Subic’s first foray into the world of The Batman is a success!Paul Dano’s writing credit has you curious about what an actor can bring to their character with full creative control. Let’s get my criticism right out of the way, because it’s a small complaint in the face of all the praises I have for this book. Maybe part of the reason I bring this up is because I’ve been subject to the critique myself, but I feel narration is used as something of a crutch here. Dano is obviously very excited to tell everyone what’s going on in the mind of the Riddler, so there’s a lot of Eddie’s internal monologue going on throughout this book. It’s not especially cluttered, so the art has plenty of space to breathe – but it is there, and occasionally seems somewhat redundant.

There’s a certain feeling one gains the more familiar you become with the game – though this applies to any tabletop, really. The more you immerse yourself in the world you’ve been transported into, the more invested you become in your character you’ve made. Eventually, whether you created them or not, you gain a sense of ownership to them. Cover image for 1022DC051 Riddler: Year One #2 Bill Sienkiewicz Cover, by (W) Paul Dano (A) Stevan Subic (CA) Bill Sienkiewicz, in stores Tuesday, December 27, 2022 from DC Comics Artist Stevan Subic makes his American comics debut, collaborating with Dano to deliver a shadowy and gritty tale of a society’s forgotten man who refuses to go unnoticed any longer. Subic’s recent Conan the Cimmerian for French publisher Glénat has brought him great acclaim in Europe, and he’s about to break out globally with a Batman series unlike any you’ve seen before. Absolutely. You will find very few other tie-in comics with this level of care, consideration, imagery, depth and authenticity. In that respect, this book does have one over on a lot of the other superhero fiction you’ll find on comic book shelves. This book knows what it wants to do, and when it delivers, it throws in a little extra – because it cares, and it wants you to care. To me, that’s the mark of a book worth reading. Speaking of which, the art is a thing of beauty here! A common trap with artists who are adapting live-action works is that some characters feel too photo-realistic to their actors, as opposed to what fits for their respective style. There’s not really much of that here. While there’s the occasional panel that looks a little too close to a promotional photo of Dano, most of the issue shows how Subic is more than happy to illustrate Eddie in all sorts of positions, whether they be unassuming or sinister.Johnston, Rich (July 22, 2022).
