my favorite Taking His Girlfriend’s Life“Gotham” (2014-19) Edward Nygma couldn’t stand to see his love interest Kristen be mistreated by her boyfriend and GCPD employee Tom Dougherty. In a moment of passion, the villain took the officer’s life. Nygma kept his fatal crime to himself while dating Kristen until she became concerned Tom would return. The villain tries to make her feel better by revealing what he did to the officer. But when Kristen takes the news very poorly and tries to get away, Nygma accidentally takes her life. While he didn’t commit this violent act on purpose, he intentionally does whatever he can to cover up her death. We knew Riddle was capable of doing terrible things to his enemies. But we never imagined he’d end someone he loved.
