Article Summary

The NygmaTech Corporation was a company located in Gotham City and was founded by Edward Nygma, the Riddler, in the Batman Forever movie that everyone has tried to forget.
Nygma founded it, in the film, after he resigned from his former workplace, Wayne Enterprises, as a result of its CEO, Bruce Wayne, rejecting his idea for The Box, which steals information from minds and adds it to the recipient.
He allied with Two-Face to help him steal enough money to finance the building of NygmaTech and The Box.

With Batman believing that Riddler would buy himself out of it. Well, Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee followed up, giving us a newly buffed-up Riddler working with the Batfamily, as if he hadn't just murdered the mayor of Gotham.
Well, we have started to see bits and pieces of the new Batman #1 by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jimenez. And it seems that Nygmatach has survived…
And from this Jorge Jimenez cover to Batman #3 out in November, we have the Riddler back with his tech…
More mind-reading/controlling technology from Edward Nygma, The Riddler, and NygmaTech? Following on from Chip's run and ignoring Jeph and Jim's? Because it looks like he has slimmed down as well…
