It was another villain party, where they were giving out awards to the best villains and couples. It was stupid... but Edward couldn't help but refuse another award, considering that he already had so many and he needed more to prove to everyone that he was the best of the best. But he didn't want to come alone, and what was the point? So Nygma had to very quickly and strongly persuade his beloved to go with him and be happy for him too

While at the bar, while the Joker was giving his speech and handing out awards to everyone, the Riddler sat at his table and looked at the stage, periodically rolling his eyes and muttering something under his breath.

—I don't see the point in giving awards to these blockheads!
