Even if you can’t be in front of a television tonight to learn how Ed Nygma became The Riddler, you can still catch a live stream online. Read on to learn how.
This is the first new episode of Gotham since January 30, when a three-episode arc about the return of Jerome Valeska finished up. Now, the series will turn its attention to turned Ed into a major villain after it appears that he killed Oswald Cobblepot. Meanwhile, the Court of Owls is still pulling the strings and Jim’s uncle has re-appeared to pull him into the conspiracy. Bruce Wayne is on his path to becoming Batman, but the Court has other plans.
Here’s the episode description:
