"Scott Snyder has revealed that the Riddler will return in Batman. The villain will make his first full appearance since DC Comics&amp;#039; New 52 relaunch last September.   When a fan tweeted at Snyder asking if Edward Nigma would return, he responded with a simple &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;I will use the Riddler in 2013,&amp;quot; the writer clarified in a follow-up tweet. The character was glimpsed on the cover and in the opening pages of Batman #1 but otherwise has not featured in any of the franchise&amp;#039;s 12 tie-in books since the relaunch. Snyder is also preparing for the return of the Joker, who disappeared in Detective Comics #1, apparently leaving his face behind. Snyder also writes Swamp Thing for DC and American Vampire for the publisher&amp;#039;s Vertigo imprint. He will be collaborating with James Tynion IV on the &amp;#039;Night of the Owls&amp;#039; spinoff Talon from September. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
