Guessing at your start. Your cruel father. Your poor wife. Your dead child. What terrible something made you white and green and mad. But we both know that's a little bluff, isn't it? There's no pain in you, no suffering. Not really. Not yet. No, no, this, you...this--it's all an act. You're not white and green and mad. You're just white and green. You laugh. And you kill. You joke. You say whatever. I get it. But under that façade of yours, you're just a plain, normal man. There's no father, wife, kid, insanity. There's just average, boring you.

A brain fart. I say, slap his wrists and send him on his way!

--Edward Nygma (Prime Earth)

--Edward Nygma (Prime Earth)

I have to leave the failures of the past behind. And say goodbye to myself if I'm ever going to become... what I was always meant to be. So thank you, Lex. Thank you for the gift of nothing.

--Edward Nygma (Prime Earth)

When a hero is not a hero? When they take off their mask.

Riddle me this... when's a murderer not a murderer? The bodies are piling up, Batman.
