Honestly one of the things I love about this iteration of Riddler is that he is legitimately smart, rather than deluded or 'just book smart'
That and he is charming as well even as a Villain he is still charming and socially awkward but now he wants to put on a show
My favourite part is that it's not Jim Carey. I like Jim, but he was way too much.
He was smart. Then bad writing happened in the last few seasons. Now he's... Mentally incompetent, to be polite about it.
@@cpt.crunch9978Jim legit woulda been a better joker than riddler.
@@obama_earth SO TRUE OH DEAR
The best Riddler, Penguin, Alfred, and Jim Gordon in my opinion. These guys deserve more credit for the performances they put on this show.
dunno about gordon but i agree with the rest
Best Hugo Strange
+ best lucius fox
victor zsasz and mad hatter (even though they were very different from their comic counterparts) were great too
@@user-ek1bm2jo3pMorgan Freeman still gets the best Fox award
Bullock was always great.
"What's the date?"
"Thursday."
"The. DATE."
Goofy as he can be, I love this version of Riddler. Cory Michael Smith nailed both the theatricality, brilliance, awkwardness, and thorough meticulousness of the Riddler, as well as his look and mannerisms.
I like how, when he does the "I am a villain" type of voice, it feels like how an awkward guy would imagine a villain/monster would talk. It feels forced and sorta silly, but it makes sense. If someone talks like that to me I'm going to laugh. And die, probably.
To be fair, Riddler is an extremely goofy villain. Although he's also able to be menacing he's just objectively goofy. "Solve my puzzles or people die" menacing and goofy is the perfect way to describe Riddler
@@MegaMew204 Yeah, pretty much.
I'll never forget scenes like him menacenly talking with his jaw while spiting, smiling while dramatically putting his coconut hat or getting mad screaming "no... NO!".
Its an achievement since even the TAS team didnt know what to do with him.
I couldn’t disagree with you more on his wardrobe. To me, it’s the Riddler suit. Perfected.
The Riddler is one of the greatest examples of “What differs a supervillain from a villain is presentation.” You know that he doesn't have actual super powers, most of the time doesn't even have resources or gangs to commit big crimes, but something about him tells you that he just can't be stopped by regular people. You know he'd always find a way to escape the asylum and start preparing for his next personal ego show.
*Megamind reference*
All the Villains in Gotham were brilliant. Gotham was a criminally underrated show. Yes it was messy, with a rough first season, but still fun with solid acting, great world building and some of the best Gotham villain portrayals around.
Michelle hehe criminally
What? The first season was so good though
@Jona Bologna it's not for me but idk why people hate it. It is a good season. Just not very batman oriented. Starts off as a cop show.
@@leafyishereisdumbnameakath4259 yeah because that was the original concept for the show
@Ash yeah and it was good I said. Bit viewership was kinda low
I like how he values Lucius Fox’s intelligence and basically thinks he’s the only person in Gotham who’s worth having a genuine conversation with
I’m late but , he likes foxy , lol on Season 5 Nygma goes, So the 2nd smartest man in Gotham needs my help👏😂😂
The riddler was actually what got me into Gotham because i had no interest in a younger Bruce wayne story. The riddler was very charming, mysterious and socially awkward exactly who I imagined him to be. Besides the Riddler it was Jeremiah that kept me watching the show I loved seeing his slow decent into madness it was a nice change of pace from the usual Joker brand of madness
you know i felt that way too, but if you look at the series, its about gotham, not just bruce, but the villains too, its a story about the city and how it feels like it has a life of its own etc. but i dont blame you, any show that deals with the past one automatically assumes its a origin story, the funny thing is it is, but not just for bats.
@@Aqsticgod that actually explains the premise of the show better because that always confused me about Gotham
you know at first i was looking forward into bruce growing up to be batman
but penguin,the riddler and the many other villains( maybe not the joker,he was a scary villain but not a good joker)
I liked Jermiah more then Jerome ‼️💯💯💯lol
Riddler and penguin were the highlight of this show so was jerome when he showed up especialy after oofing his mom and doing the televised event telling us that no matter how many times the joker dies there will always be another that looks up to his goals
Jerome was boring and stupid and overrated just like his comics counterpart.
"oofing his mom" 😭😭😭
The Riddler is my all-time favourite Batman villain and honestly in my opinion the Arkham games have the best depiction of The Riddler outside the comics. Wally Wingert who voiced the character in all 4 games always delivered such an incredible performance that always managed to perfectly capture Riddler's obsessive personality, massive ego and superiority complex. Whenever I read comics with Riddler it's Wally's voice I hear in my head.
Riddler in the Arrkham games was dumb and barely in it. To say he was the “best” version of the character is absurd.
@@MichelleAlexandria-EM shhh
@@MichelleAlexandria-EM he was in all 4 games and you have to collect 200-400 trophies in each game. how was he "barely in it"
@@thanos1725 yes, he was barely in it. An extra 5 min boss fight you only get after collecting all 200 trophies that had ZERO impact on the game and I’d bet most players didn’t do, and the “actor” only said one of maybe 4 different lines every time you collected a trophy. The lines were basically variations of “Oh fudge, how do you keep solving these puzzles!” Yeah, that was some heavy duty “characterization” and “acting.”
@@MichelleAlexandria-EM if you’ve collected those trophies you’d understand how much game time he takes up
Joker, Riddler, and Penguin were always the big three Batman villains to me. This show did all three incredibly well.
Too bad they wasted the other rogues.
@Zemo X2 mostly yeah, but at past Hatter, Strange, Pyg, Ra's, and the Court had something to do.
For me it's Joker, deathstroke, and Bane.
@@eobardthawn6903 Slade and Bane filled out the rest of my top five
@@aspiringjoker2883 TheBatmanWhoLaughs is my number 4, Harley my number 5. I do like the Riddler and penguin in Gotham, though I don't like them too much in the comics.
It's crazy how this show is being appreciated all of a sudden. The show may have been about Bruce and Gordon, but Penguin and Riddler carried it
And Jerome/Jermiah
Dude Hugo Strange character on Gotham was pretty good. The Riddler was one of my favorite characters from Gotham.
Hugo was creepier in my opinion because he was on Oz as a priest and therapist in law and order
he looked so creepily similar to the comics
B.D. Wong was brilliant. He's a seriously underrated actor. Dude deserves some bigger roles.
He was annoying af
By far my favorite Riddler. The first Edward Nigma who could be taken seriously.
And I love the Jim Carrey Edward Nashton homage with his hair when he's been in Arkham Asylum for a year
Cory Smith brought a new type of crazy to the character. Excellent casting.
To be honest I really liked his outfit in his show, it just feels like the riddler to me. Especially in the finale when he had the question mark trench coat.
i agree, the whole dual personality shtick was a bit weird, but then i realized it wasnt so much a dual personality but him going through a transition and the only way he could cope was by talking to himself seeing as he thinks hes the smartest person in the world. i mean there are a lot of undertones with that but yeah, in execution it was done well and in the end we didnt get it as much when the final episodes came about
That could've been a smoother way to implement the dual personality. Instead of just "his darker psyche" like Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, this other him forms as a result of him having no one else around him on his mental level and feeling so psychologically tortured by this, he essentially created the only person who could match him; Himself.
This is hands down THE Riddler of a lifetime. I loved him as the socially awkward guy at the GCPD, loved that his downward spiral into such a comical character was very believable, loved him as The Penguin's friend and love interest (that subplot was truly something else), and loved him after he chilled down a bit and just did his own thing. He was perfect to contrast The Penguin who's always evolving in the show; once his true colors showed, The Riddler never tries to change, didn't even have the capacity to imagine it despite his smarts, because some vain part of him insists that he's already better than everybody else. And in some aspects, he was. Whenever he had the chance to flex his intelligence, I always think the GCPD and Gordon in particular must really rue the day such a good pair of hands chose the darker path.
I was blown away with how perfectly cast the Riddler was when I first started watching the show
The relationship between Riddler and Penguin on Gotham was one of my favourite things related to Batman full stop. Cory Michael Smith's acting and the writers ability to balance the cheesiness we all associate with the Riddler with a more serious darker toned criminal was absolute perfection
Jim's interactions with all the villains satisfied many fans who missed Batman's dynamic with them, where everyone wants to kill him. Especially with the Penguin. These two were nemesis.
I think everyone was cast perfectly in this show. Especialy bruce, that boy really grew up into this role and his acting got progressively better each season up until he freaked me out when going between Bruce and his clone in literally a change of a line, HOW DID HE DO THAT!?
David Mazouz is a talented actor
Gotham didn't just have the best Riddler, it had the best Penguin as well.
The Riddler in Gotham was really good. Corey Michael Smith did a great job.
gotham was honestly a great series, i loved it and it'll always have a special place in my heart
the characters are great
its a great series and not just some boring typical batman beat up story
the show wasnt PERFECT but it was honestly great, i loved the final season, it was amazing, i loved everything about it
i wish i could watch the show blindly again, it was amazing
Although I love Paul Dano’s Riddler, Gotham’s Riddler was so much fun to watch as he became more like his comic book counterpart
I was thinking about rewatching this show again and then you started making more Gotham videos after a break. What a coincidence!
I was thinking the same thing the fact that it started with the character that got me into the show makes me want to watch it again
Same here, I started to rewatch it again and I'm enjoying it. The writing is a little messy sometimes but not in a bad way. If I can say anything the actors definitely play their parts so well and Penguin carries the show for me, Riddler too.
Agreed.
About 100 times better than Paul Dano... he was basically the Zodiac killer.
RIDDLER.... Riddler?
i completed gotham just few days ago and i think s01 blows out of the batman movie. penguin and riddler in gotham are 10x better than movie
I’d love a part 2 to this video and however many Gotham videos you’d want to make. I’m happy the show hasn’t been forgotten.
Cory Michael Smith, as the riddler, was my favourite cast member of Gotham. The show was always more fun whenever he was on screen!
Riddler's outfit - especially around Season 4 & 5 - is one of my favourites.
The black shirt works better than the white one, I reckon. Makes the green pop more in an ominous sense.
my personal favorite Riddler is the version from Batman: Unburied. I think the Riddler is at his most interesting when he skirts the line between hero and villain, similar to Catwoman. It opens up a lot of storytelling possibilities when he can act as an ally to Bruce, and keeps him from playing second fiddle to The Joker.
"The journey to get to the destination was just more entertaining than the actual destination." Yeah I can't help but feel you just explained this whole show in a nutshell with just that sentence alone, I mean in the first few seasons it was quite possibly the best show on TV let alone the Batman mythos but as it got closer to the finish... Decay started to set in (Postmortem)
buddy he doesn't have a "split psyche" he straight up has DID lmfao..
Is it sad that I’d like BOTH a part 2 AND a Hugo Strange video?
To be honest, I loved the outfit. I felt it really fit a darker tone in live action. The green suit seemed to fit well imo
He looks like Idubbbz that fits so fucking well
Riddler was my absolute favorite on Gotham he kept me watching when the show went off the rails. Great video !
Such a great show, best riddler to this date, best hatter, penguin, Gordon, just mostly everyone did a great job with their characters.
I actually really like the two Nygma persona transition. I couldn’t see this version of Nygma go into crime so easily after having been against it for so long.
They did it kind of like how Star Wars did it, where the protagonist, Anakin, was slowly more and more tipping away from the good side; but he did not make a full switch until the very very last second.
I like also that the two personality thing is temporary, purely meant to be the transition between Nygma to The Riddler.
I would have to say the Scarecrow was good, too. Ik he didn't get as much screen time as Ed Nigma but this show was so well done all around.
I very much agree with your opinion on this, I would glad to see a Hugo strange one, but another riddler one would be great👍
Not to mention...the best dressed in Gotham. I love the bowler hat. SO MUCH.
I think that the split personality is Ed fighting against his bad side, trying to keep good, but his alter ego breaks through
everyone loves Penguin .. but i loved every moment of this Riddler
Vee you're on fire lately with all the content, I've been really enjoying the videos. Glad to see you coming at 2023 with a vengeance! Keep up the great work, stay happy and healthy
This Best Penguin 🐧 Too. Gothams Penguin is Officially Undefeated.
Nolan north (Arkham penguin) is extremely close
Riddler id love a part 2 of the riddler Vee ur awesome Keep up the great work
Nah you trippin that is like the best outfit
ive been waiting so long for this video
Yeeeeeeey! thanks for making this!
Man I crave for more gotham videos. This show was one of the most compelling batman experiences while not having batman
I’ve been waiting for this vid for a while
Frank Gorshin will always be the best Riddler,he took a villain who was rarely used in the comics and considered second rate and made the Riddler popular,no actor afterward could say that.
I agree. Him and penguin carried the show first few seasons
i'd say all the seasons!
He was the best version of the Riddler. Season 1 was the Penguin season. But season 2 was THE RIDDLER season & the actor was brilliant!
I need to rewatch Gotham. It's my favourite show and I loved pretty much everything about it, Season 1 to Season 5.
Nah that show was trash and this guy glazes it
@kwayneboy1524 it's my favourite show mate. I don't knowhow you can say that when it is a show that us so close to my heart. And many other hearts. It had the best live action Joker, best live action Bruce Wayne, best live action Riddler, best live action Penguin, Jim Gordon, Bullock, etc.
Dammit Vee
You keep co creating all these "Gotham had the best THIS" Gotham had the best THAT" videos that I just might have to watch Gotham now lol
definitely need a video for both Hugo Strange and a part 2 on Riddler, this was fantastic! really highlighted why I liked the riddler in ways that i couldn't put into words myself
I would be interested in part 2 with Vee dissecting the interaction/story line that occurs in the later seasons of the series between Riddle and Penguin. Although their story was fleshed out, it felt like it was more a filler story (C plot if you will) so they had something to do versus being apart of the overall show arc or narrative at that point.
Gotham was so good dude I try to tell everyone to watch it but they never do.
Gotham was a hilariously, gloriously insane show with a lot of great performances.
I love this show. It might be my all time favourite Batman show. The actors were so well casted, the stories were gripping, the character development was phenomenal & I just wish there was more. I wished they continued with a full on Batman show, we saw the prequel, the events leading up to Batman but it would of been so good seeing it go further than that.
Gotham had the best Riddler and Victor Zsasz.
I honestly loved the two personalities. I felt this added to how one half of him is a great kind person while the other is this evil and feels the need to show off. This also was true to the comics because Edward Nygma did have a split psyche.
I think this type of Riddler could have worked in The Batman if they had the right actor. It's the type of Riddler I would have preferred.
This is the best riddler period. I always thought the dual psyche bit was ed have a fight between his brain and his heart, his ego against his morals.
"Stop doing that!"
"What?"
"That! Stop... copying me!"
"Dude. It's a mirror. That's how they work."
I laughed harder than I probably should have at that one.
I've never clicked a notification so fast, this man is speaking factssss
This was the best version. Hands down
Thats what I loved about this and his one of my favorite Riddlers
If I had a nickel for every character I like who develops a split personality which can be associated with the color green I'd have like three nickels.
Which isn't a lot but also kinda weird that it happened three times already...
ok now im thinking of what the other 2 are is it the mask and the hulk?
I grew up with the cartoons and only started getting into cartoons a few years ago so there’s a lot I still don’t know/haven’t read but Gotham’s Penguin and Riddler feel like the most authentic versions of the characters I’ve seen. I know it’s unlikely but I hope we get to see them played by these actors on the big screen some day
He's such a damn good riddler. He looks and acts so perfect for the character. I love his fashion too lol
i really love the Dano interpretation but THIS guy is fantastic as a more true to form adaptation.
Lucius Fox is just so done with everyone in this show yet not cynical.
That mirror line is just magical
1000% Better than the Riddler on On Pattinson The Batman, didn’t even see him as the riddler
Loved the show and so glad I found someone covering it on here. Came for "the day X died", stayed for the Gotham content.
Gotham is an underrated show, it did kind of fall off a little at the end but still great
riddle me this: what do you get when you pair a kind, witty smart guy with an enviroment who bellittles him and treats him like trash?
1:16, I don’t think that’s entirely fair to Frank Gorshin given that the Riddler had a grand total of three comic book appearances at the time (with the last of them being over a decade after the first two) but Gorshin’s version of The Riddler (as I understand it) popularized the character even in the comics.
Loved him in the show
Would you ever talk about the riddler and the penguin as a duo on this show?
My only issue with this one is the stereotyped personality disorder
My issue was the fact tge show kept giving him "love interests" Riddler only loves one person. His intellect.
@@zemox2534 Trueee, but I do imagine him trying very early until he ultimately just gives up the more he gets to his holier than thou attitude
Finally a video about my favouritw character
When the character is so good that even the negatives have big positives
This riddler is my favourite actor in the show
Riddle-her. Riddler! I would love another part of this or your look at Hugo Strange. I did love Gotham's Hugo so hearing your thoughts would be fun.
I didn't watch a hole lot of Gotham but their are some things I loved.
In the thumbnail I thought it was that weak guy from the try guys…
I’d be interested to see a video on Freeze or Bane, two characters in this show that failed in my eyes.
Riddle-er...Riddler
I WOULD like to see a Gotham Hugo Strange video!
i miss that show :(
Youre damn right it did
The only bad thing about this riddlers is they tries to make him and penguin gay
I think they should've tried out the Riddler talking to himself without having hallucinations, more like self-doubt or over thinking things rather than a multiple personalities.
Seriously, it was tough to focus on Bruce, Gordon, or Alfred, since Nigma and Cobblepot were just stealing the whole show
Glad I rediscovered channel.
