Prior to the release of The Batman 2022, this is definitely the best on screen version of The Riddler we have had besides the maybe one in the Harley Quinn series.

We got to see his backstory, his motivation is well written and understood, we got to see his first villainous act and how he connects to Batman, and we get to see him act very human while telling his story to Batman. It was great to see him genuinely heart broken at the end of the episode and added an extra dimension we haven't really seen from him. His personality is darker than usual while maintaining his playful charm, which is great. He actually felt like a villain unlike more of a trickster in other depictions. This episode demonstrates how smart Riddler is and also shows that his main goal is basically being as smart as possible and gets agitated when he's outsmarted which was also shown in "Riddled".

The design of this Riddler is awesome and he even talks about how Batman inspired it. He looks menacing with his shock rockesque attire and hairstyle. I also like how he has some fighting prowess and uses weapons which makes sense for Riddler because he's definitely smart enough to make some cool ones. Also being voiced by Robert Englund is incredible.

This is surely the best written Riddler we've gotten so far as well as having the best balance of seriousness and playfulness. He takes the cake as best Riddler until March 2022. This is a much watch episode for any Batman fan and any Riddler fan.

Never been a Riddler fan. Possibly because I don't like riddles and puzzles. I kinda liked the version in the Gotham tv series though it's wasn't perfect either.

When we first meet Riddler in The Batman he's already a full fledged villain. Now we get his backstory.

We get teased in the beginning that Batman had some part in creating The Riddler. When they finally reveal it, it doesn't hold up to say the least.

We get another reveal in the end that's supposed to make us feel somewhat sorry for the Riddler/Edward Nigma. Make him more human so to speak. Even in a cartoon world it doesn't really work.

I don't like Riddler's look either. Especially with this back story. We're supposed to see a human being turned evil but he doesn't even look human. He's extremely skinny, having almost no waist.

I'll probably never be a fan of Riddler but this one is disappointing nevertheless.
