The Riddler (Edward Nygma): zodiac sign and birth chart

The Riddler has no canon birthday. Neither the comics, the games nor the films give Edward Nygma one. Read from his personality, he's a Gemini: Sun, Moon, rising, Mercury and Venus all in one sign. A mind that never stops playing with words, a puzzle for every crime scene and a need to hear that he is clever. A Libra Mars wants the contest to feel fair, even when he writes the rules.

  • About 1 in 54 birthdays get Riddler in the app's Batman world.

NEBO's take

No birthday in canon. His personality says Gemini.

We ran the Riddler through the same model that matches people to characters in the app, and looked at which chart gets him most often. It reads him as air all the way through: quick, talkative and in love with his own cleverness.

NEBO's take

Gemini SunRead from his personality
  • Sun CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini

    Gemini loves wordplay and a game. In Batman: Arkham Asylum the Riddler hides puzzles all over the island.

  • Moon CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini

    A Gemini Moon talks it out and wants an audience. In Batman Forever, Edward Nygma wants Bruce Wayne to notice his invention.

  • Rising CanonNo birth timeNEBO's takeGemini

    No birth time in canon. First impression: neat, polite and a little odd, a guy who is already working something out about you.

  • Mercury CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini

    Gemini Mercury lives in riddles. In The Batman he leaves a riddle at every scene.

  • Venus CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeGemini

    Gemini Venus flirts with ideas more than people. In Hush he works out Batman's secret and keeps it, because a riddle everyone knows is not worth telling.

  • Mars CanonNot in canonNEBO's takeLibra

    Libra Mars wants the fight to be a fair contest. In Batman: Arkham City his hostages are puzzles that Batman can solve to find them.

What canon does give: a man who cannot stop leaving clues. Gemini is the sign of the riddle, the wordplay and the show-off who wants an audience.
