YMMV / Whistle: A New Gotham City Hero

• Magnificent Bastard:
  • E. Nigma, aka The Riddler, is the affable mastermind behind Gotham's "greening." Born Eddie Nachtberger, the childhood best friend of Naomi Zimmerman, Nigma's descent into drugs and parties saw him enter the criminal underworld and become one of Gotham's most infamous supervillains. Eventually deciding to get sober and reinvent himself after alienating the Zimmerman family, Nigma sets out on a crusade to revitalize Gotham, working with Poison Ivy to destroy local community centers, drive down property values, and buy up real estate so he can rebuild the town. Along the way, Nigma works to reconnect and make amends with the Zimmermans, reaching out to Naomi's daughter, Willow, to offer her a job organizing underground poker games with Gotham's elite he uses to finance his criminal activities. Unquestioningly loving and supportive of his old friends, even funding Naomi's cancer treatments and helping Willow's financial situation with no strings attached, Nigma's charisma and geniality see Willow deciding to remain his friend even as she secretly works to undermine his plans as Whistle.
  • Pammie Isley, aka Poison Ivy, is Nigma's partner in the greening of Gotham. Once taken advantage of and subjected to horrific experiments that left her with control over plants and a poison kiss, Pammie remade herself into a charismatic supervillain out to see plants reclaim the world. Pammie, with her powers, helps Nigma destroy local community centers in Gotham for his plan to renovate the town, intent on claiming her own plot of land from the fellow villain where she can begin her green revolution. Upon befriending Willow, Pammie mentors her in becoming the game runner for Nigma's illegal poker games, helping her pick the right clothes and attitude needed to become a smooth, charming operator in her own right, and encourages her to stay in school to avoid the mistakes she and Nigma once made. A surprisingly decent role model despite her proclamations of valuing plants more than human lives, Pammie continues to act as a valued friend to Willow even after talking her way out of police custody upon being caught at the scene of one of her crimes.
