The Riddler Stops Playing Games...

I'm glad someone else finally bought up that The Riddler was the one who gave Joker the idea to do The Killing Joke. That's ALWAYS glossed over.

"Riddle me this batman! Drive your car through some racetracks"

The problem with the Riddler is that he's one of those character's who's intelligence is 100% in the forefront, which means he's only as smart as the writers writing him. You can't just say "lol science" like with other mastermind characters like Doc Ock. Because of this, you tend to see writers be lazy and cheat by making him an idiot that just thinks he's smart, eliminated 100% percent of his threat and intrigue.

Riddler as a Moriarty-esque mastermind is an under used angle. He has the panache to pull it off

Love how the abusive dad says " my son is an idiot" and batman decides to say "lol so true!" like I feel like you should have come to a different conclusion there bud

He’s not wearing his Matt Murdock glasses anymore please bring them back 😭😭😭😭😭

Crazy how they kill each other in stead of killing the riddler 😭 😭 😭 Edit: there is a war in the comments😂😂😂

Riddler locked in. Which caused Batman to lock in; and only one of them knows 1001 ways to kill you up close and personal. God this was an amazing comic.

One Bad Day Riddler is just an amazing story. It shows just how insane he is. He stops playing around, he starts to use his mind to actually hurt instead of hinder. The riddler says it the best. "You want to know why I did it Bruce, you are always beating me because I was playing, I've had a really, really bad day... and I'm done playing. Bruce... or is it batman when the mask is off?" That one line was insane and it shows just the power that Riddle refuses to use most of the time.

I remember when I first read this, I was mixed on it. I love Riddler and him being on top of things and not a joke, but it kind of felt a bit much. Like this was Eddie's own fanfic and the ending was Batman smashing his computer.

All the prison guards shooting each other instead of the Riddler. Like, seriously?

“Riddle me this Batman” “I spend my days lower than everyone else, constantly under people. And yet I’m never quite the smart fella. What am I?” “A fart smella” “😢”

My head canon is Batman paralyzed him at the end and came to his hospital room and hit him with the “don’t do it again”

i feel like the guards could have just shot the riddler like if they are gonna kill 2 humans when they could have killed one psychopath who is probably going to kill after this if he’s alive

Bro decided to lock in

A story that i don't think is brought up enough is from the silver age. Basically, the riddler decided one day to steal something without leaving batman any clues, and he got to the finish line with no caped crusader on his tail. But he wasn't able to take the prize. His body stopped just before because he believed he hadn't earned it. That literally stopped him in his tracks. Not because he didn't want to take it, but because no matter how hard he tried, he wasn't allowed to. So he used hypnotism once he had left to get rid of the mental block, and when he did that, Batman literally could not catch him, no matter what crime he committed. But eventually batman started finding riddles, because Riddler was subconciously creating them, as he still couldn't handle the idea of "cheating"

That last riddle Batman gives enigma is so good.😺

That intro tho 🤣🤣

Riddler is so underrated, and he's best when he's used as a serious threat. Loving the longer videos by the way

I like how despite this comic demonstrating how dangerous the riddler can be it also shows just how dangerous batman can be when pushed far enough. It also on a deeper level acknowledges that when the riddler throws away his riddles Batman has to throw away his code fundamentally robbing both characters of their core traits and changing then into entirely new people.
