Ed Nygma’s journey towards becoming The Riddler is slowly being built up throughout the season and is sure to be a key player in the future. Likewise, The Dollmaker has already played a big part in the series storyline and his new partnership with Fish Mooney may prove to play a big role in closing out the season.

Bruce Wayne has started to investigate his company’s involvement in illegal activities and has earned himself some enemies. Apart from this being a story of Jim Gordon’s rise to power as Gotham City Police Commissioner, this is still a story about Batman and Wayne’s journey s always something to take note of.
