What Happened To Everyone Who Used A Lazarus Pit?
8. The Riddler
It’s one thing to use a Lazarus Pit at the behest of Ra’s al Ghul, but to sneakily use one behind the back of The League of Assassins is never going to end well.
For Edward Nygma, he saw the Lazarus Pit as the only way that he could survive once the discovery was made that he had a lethal brain tumour. Not only did The Riddler’s quick dip eradicate his cancerous tumour, it also massively increased Nygma’s physical and mental abilities. Considering that the Master of Riddles was already one of the most intelligent members of the DC Universe, the newfound Lazarus Pit-enhanced smarts caused Eddie to work out the greatest riddle of them all: who is Batman?
With Riddler revealed to have played a key part in 2002’s beloved Hush storyline, it was there that we saw Bruce Wayne hit by the realisation that Nygma now knew who was underneath the cowl.
How did the Caped Crusader deal with this, then? Why, he made it clear to The Riddler that he’d inform The League of Assassins about his Lazarus Pit soak should Batman’s identity ever be made public - a quandary it didn't take Nygma long to solve.
