"I win again." Ed let out as he knocked over your king with his queen.
"Damn it, oh well, good game. Wanna play again?" You asked. He looked up at you inquisitively.
"This is the tenth game you've lost against me in a row... Why do you keep pressing for more matches? I mean, I assume you know you're not going to win at this point." He said bluntly.
"Yeah, I know, I just like spending time with you and chess gives me an opportunity to do so." You admitted. Had you looked up, you would have seen his face turn a bright red under the long, dark hair covering his face and his pupils dilate.
Our flame haired Ozzie and goth-look Ed from the 2004 cartoon are our varient of the day. This Penguin utilised a dynamic fighting style alongside bird accomplices and trick umbrellas. We saw complexity and intelligence in Riddler's puzzles but he also knew how to engage in combat with his high-tech cane. Both had troubled histories with family drama or romantic betrayals. A match made in heaven for riddlebird week perhaps.

JUSTIFICATION:
"Disgraced CompSci/engineering major with an androgynous look who placed a lot of trust in another woman in her field that would aggressively betray her as part of her villain origin, starts wearing lipstick during criminal career. Gimmick around "questioning" and things not being as they seem, so dropping hints that she might not be a man seems par for the course" - @mallowmaenad

He's...not the best at cuddling. At least at first.
This is because with all of his elaborate schemes and never receiving a lot of affection in the past, he's never really had a chance to be this soft and vulnerable with someone.
He really does want affection, though, so once he trusts you, he's willing to cuddle.
Well, as long as you initiate it. He's not used to asking for affection.
If he does ask, it's gonna be in the form of a riddle (obviously...)
Despite how bony he is, he actually makes a pretty nice cuddle partner.
Absolutely the little spoon, I won't argue on this, he just is. He LOVES being held.
He also adores when you stroke his hair and makes these cute purr-like sounds when you do it.
His hair is super soft, you could pet him for hours and he'd probably love it.
He'll make you answer some riddles though. Because of course.
It's tough work being the smartest man in Gotham. Fortunately now he has you to comfort him, and he'll do everything he can to comfort you as well.
