    As much as I’ve been a huge fan of DC Comics, I’ve also have had a long fascination of how The Riddler has made a living for himself as a fan favorite villain who’s became a more intelligent yet mentally psychologic foe.

His portrayal in media are typically hit or miss as he's treated more as a joke villain or a c-list that no one takes seriously, so I'm happy his portrayal in the Batman movie made newer and casual fans find him more a threat.

    Fun fact, in season 2 of the 60's show, when Riddler was played by John Astin, he had a question mark cane. I'd actually forgotten and thought Carey's version did it first, but no. Unfortunately, Astin also went back to the spandex instead of Gorshin's spiffy suit.
    Another fun fact, the suit was all Gorshin's idea. He was also the only one on set who was a fan of the comics, as he had been reading them for some time and actually knew of Riddler and the others beforehand. In case you couldn't tell, I really love the Frank Gorshin Riddler.

    I'm kind of surprised you completely left out The Riddler's complicated love-hate relationship with *Poison Ivy.* The two share a very interesting history in the comics(although most of them just consist of Nygma getting violated by her).

    Riddler has always been one of my favorite Batman villains, and I’m glad they gave him a revamp in live action that isn’t so goofy. Now I just want to see my all time favorite Batman villain get into a serious movie: Mr. Freeze.

    The Riddler is one of my favorite characters in the Batman Universe my favorite is Batman Arkham series of the regular playing a dangerous game with Batman that's the version what I do like the way how the 2014 got them and the 2019 season finale of Gotham
    The Riddler evolution since the that raised Batman Arkham series introducing the Riddler in a dangerous game. One of my favorite story arcs.
    The regular knows everything about the
    Court of owls in Bruce Wayne's Batman's true identity.
