The Riddler - Blog Posts
HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL!!!!!!
Made this for a r/BatmanArkham comment but I kinda like it so posting this here
Echoes vol 5 will be like this I think
Meanwhile he gives him hints that he likes him while talking
Shout out to Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo and Hasan Minhaj’s portrayal of the Riddler.
Here is Query and Echo, Echos design is based of off VI from arcane and her btas comic design but she ended up looking a bit like Sevika from arcane. Query, she wears a hat and I wanted to do an outfit inspired by that.
He just likes the attention

I was gonna draw the penguin but I got lazy
I was thinking about this in exams, most of the rogues went to Gotham University and met each other there briefly like Harley and Jonathan knew each other and Harley met up with Jonathan to do internship at Arkham and then eventually became his psychiatrist. Edward only really started meeting the other rogues when he first got admitted to Arkham, because he was the only one that studied engineering like a loser.
Ed gets on Oswald for being a child who throws tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants- but honestly? Oswald's probably the more emotionally mature of the two. Idk if this is a hot take but yeah.
I NEED TO SCREAM ABOUT PAUL DANO'S RIDDLER
This is probably the first time we've seen a Riddler that's been taken seriously as a character.
Through the Arkhamverse games, for those who've played it, we all know the feeling of doing his challenges and storyline. It's tedious and obnoxious. Bonus for Arkham Knight making him look like Charlie Sheen going through a midlife crisis.
Gotham, I enjoyed, but they created him to be almost an alter ego/ split personality which I don't necessarily think is how the Riddler's brain works.
And Jim Carrey's Riddler is just... Jim Carrey being family friendly I guess. Regardless, entertaining.
Paul Dano though... he whipped out the perfect amount of obsessive psychopath and narcissism. As in, his energy really matched Heath Ledger's Joker; super chaotic and dark. Probably would have worked well in TDK.
That scene where he talks to Batman in prison was absolutely fantastic. He reminded me so much of Ed Kemper in his prison interviews. Right off the mark when we first see him unmasked, the obsession with Batman is in his eyes and never leaves. He craves that attention from him in such an unhealthy way, it's just incredible to watch and know that it's purely Dano's acting.
I'm so impressed. I really hope we get to see more of this Riddler from him in the future and I hope he gets some sort of award for this. An underrated actor overall.

Officially a coffee drinker, but a ‘I’ll mix every thing with caffeine into a cup’ in my heart.
