Gotham: 10 BEST Changes To The Comics

10. The Riddler And The Penguin

Both Riddler and Penguin have incredible story arcs throughout the series, highlighting their highs and lows on their way to the top of the Batman villains food chain. The two characters had little interaction with each other in Gotham's sophomore season, but their meeting and subsequent prison break from Arkham in season two saw a match made in heaven.

The two adversaries were re-designed as having an on-again-off-again friendship (although it is implied that Penguin wanted more).

The relationship is a strong departure from the comics, in which the two characters have had little interaction with each other, let alone a long-standing partnership. The change brings about some of the most interesting story telling that Gotham has to offer, particularly in its more heated moments of betrayal and their sentimental exchanges with one another.

Although much of the season finale - set ten years in the future - resets and realigns the series' continuity for the arrival of Batman, the respective releases of Penguin and Riddler from Blackgate Prison and Arkham Asylum reunited this deviation in their pact to take down the new vigilante of Gotham. The pact is a great service for fans of the series, letting them know that love is not lost in Gotham - even for the morally delinquent.
