In order for an actor to play his character to the best of their talent, they have to get involved and really delve into that character’s background and understand how they ended up where they are. For some characters, the background is so rich that it prompts the artist to go the extra mile and reveal that background research to the public. Back in March, Paul Dano announced that he was going to explore the origin story of The Batman’s villain in a comic book titled The Riddler: Year One.
