Batman: Arkham Asylum - Patient Interview Tapes - The Riddler

[mymalovenaka]

LOL the riddler wth titan dr young is a dumb ass

[Xylarxcode]

... Now I'm curious to know if Dr. Young would have been smart enough to figure out how to escape one of Riddler's death traps.

I'd really like to see her in some weird saw like contraption with the Riddler casually sits a few feet from her, making idle chit chat, ocassionaly dropping a hint.

[nkycblackout]

"let's talk about your childhood."

"miserable,next."

LOL

[sharppaw22]

"Seriously Edward-." " I only hope" XD I love The Riddler

[predetor200]

at 3:12 what's he doing that is so bad, beating her with the photo

[Wolf6120]

@predetor200 No, but hes hinting that her mother might be his next victim, since he knows what she looks like

[AccurateMistake]

...The Riddler is clearly Neil Patrick Harris in disguise.

[Adventruer]

has anyone noticed that the joker and the riddler pictures look alike.

[RosesofWillows]

i love how Riddler is soooooo set on his theory of Batman being a criminal, and how soooooo wrong he really is!

It's practically delicious!! xD

[MysteriousShade]

Riddler: "Riddle me this! Where did he get his car and his gadgets?"

Me: Ebay....just kidding, because he's fucking paid like that...

[e104epsilonMK2]

LOL! "Hope Joker hasn't completely trashed the city"? Did he just hint Arkham City?

[511Garcia]

i love this game it makes all the enemies as gritty, demented, and evil as they would actually be

[sparkkle2]

First tape, and the 'riddle', I think are there to show players that this ain't no clean Riddler. This guy is a fucking maniac. And I love it.

[Earlybird2468]

Wally Wingert = Best--RIDDLER--...evaaaaaaarrr­rr

[ShironTheWindragon]

Despite Riddler's annoying challenges, he's pretty awesome in Arkham. :D

[jonnavdpas]

Turn transcribe audio on.

2:19 .....wtf? .__.

XD

[Ninearm]

@jonnavdpas You looked hott, anything equaled... LOL - Even though its wrongly transcribed, it would fit whats his name's twisted mind. (whats his name, cause he is not important enough to be named actually, he is just another item from a trashcan)

[dannycashman1]

haha love the first 1

[DarthJake123]

What a demented fuck..... I love him so

[Ninearm]

Interview tape 4 is the best ever. RIDDLE ME THIS. How did get his car, and his gagdets ?

LOOOOOOOOOL

[ixgunzablazinxi]

Riddlers awesome!!

[AngelBeeps]

I love him! What can I say? I'm a sucker for dead baby jokes.

[apex2000]

urm Riddler knew his identity didnt he?

[apex2000]

Is that the same voice from the animated series? And hay nice used of the Sphynx riddle with a new twist

[DrTheKay]

The riddlers tapes make him seem like a tryhard

[SunnyKaramchandani]

Neil Patrick Harris anyone? Even the looks.

[Frozone470]

It was this game that made me realize how eerily I relate to The Riddler O.O

[TommyIrianto]

He really sounds like Jim Carrey's voice personality. Hahhahah.

[atemuamadare]

I have to say how much I love this voice actor. I'd listen to the Riddler all day.

I so wouldn't survive in Gotham because of it...

[Sladieslade]

"I'm sorry to hear that, Edward."

Is it me... or does it sound like Dr. Young doesn't give a fuck?

[BasementBeginnings]

@Sladieslade The majority of psychiatrists don't give an actual fuck, their goal is to make you believe they do.

[Sladieslade]

@BasementBeginnings Fair enough. Anyway, they're dragged in just to have death threats shot at them! R.I.P Penelope Young

[EymrisGrayson]

@Sladieslade that's because Dr. Young is a bitch. How do you not care for Eddie?

[theREALevilbunny]

Riddler was right about Joker on the last tape ge does talk alot!

[juna42kela]

If there's ever a Batman movie with Riddler, NPH better be cast as him or I will riot.

[Kr1z92]

Am i a sick person for thinking that riddle from the first tape is hilarious XD you got to love the riddler

[ZombieXChick18]

@Kr1z92 lolz don't worry...i laughed too

[ShirubaHanshou]

Bruce: *listening to 4th tape* But... I pay for everything. I swear. D':

[BionicleForever1]

lol Childhood

Miserable, next

[killertim922]

The Riddler was not just a funny guy. He knew how to control and twist the human mind.

[goldieboylover986]

funny.. the riddler looks and talks a lot like Barney Stinson

[1moe7]

Easy doctor, it's not my baby! :)

[SuperGT240]

the riddler and the joker have the same poses

[IanROX22]

"Don't be. He was right." LMAO! What a beast!

[9cloudersprofile]

THE LAST TAPE,AS SAW IN ELX,HE IS TALKING ABOUT JOKERS PLAN IN ARKAM CITY

[LyricsWorld88]

The Riddle is legen... wait for it.... DARY!

[IFMIStupidFox]

I don't care if he's fictional. I am in love with AA's version of Edward Nigma.

[TheNeoParody]

my favorite interview tapes, I listen to these instead of music. thanks for uploading!

[Majere567]

I loved how they did hte interview tapes. They captured the characters persona's so well, and in such short and quick bites, instead of going through a giant storyline and having to give them all background.

I love Riddlers the best, this really did, as with many people, peak my interest.

I was already a fan, but the writing and voice actor just bring him to life <3

[radarcivilian]

who else thinks Riddler looks a lot like Neil patrick Harris?

[3000flame]

@radarcivilian he even sounds like him! he would be perfect for a movie adaption.

[radarcivilian]

@3000flame haha ya your right!

[IFMIStupidFox]

@3000flame I agree it looks a lot like him, but I think it sounds more like Jim Parsons...

[asendimchev1996]

@radarcivilian

In arkham city he really looks like Garry Oldman :)

[Spoon1561]

@radarcivilian You don't think...Oh..My..God 0.0

[shadix20]

@radarcivilian

in this pic.

:l

[perun1nj]

I never really liked the Riddler until i played this game, he's so calm and collected when explaining his "Baby" riddle, I like how they made him into an attention starved know it all, it seems perfect for him.

[TheSarazzPrime]

The first patient tape with the baby joke caught me off-guard at first, I didn't know whether to laugh or just stare at my tv screen in horror.

[animegirl362]

Nya! 1:57

*Shivers* So cruel...so cool!-3

[MTdaBlacking]

The third one I found as the scariest. The way she freaked out about The Riddler's interest to her famil;y.... *shudders*

[PlushQueen]

The Riddler interviews have got to be the most disturbing interviews I've ever heard.

He comes off as a simingly sophisticated and whimsical intelectual at first but with every interview little bits of his persona are being revealed; but by the fourth tape he lets his mask slip off completly and reveals what a truely disturbed and egotistical person he really is.

I seriously think if Christopher Nolan saw these interviews he would have enough motivation to use Riddler in his next film.

[ThirdStreetSaint777]

@PlushQueen Most disturbing? What about that crazy,bold headed, cut to hell Basterd Zsasz?

[thejoexman]

I know the voice actor for the Riddler isn't Jim Carrey but my God it sounds so much alike. I'm not alone in thinking that, am I?

[Channel1019]

I love how each tape ends with a cliffhanger

[TheVoiceOfReason93]

As for the riddle, it turns out that he snuck into the classroom the night before the contest and kept practicing it till he got it right. By all accounts, he didn't actually cheat.

[Rockstarter99]

2:00 = Goosebumps. Hehe

[CaptainCreature]

Man, Riddler sociopathic mind is such an E-NIGMA! get it?

[FunkyFrank10]

Does the Riddler remind anyone else of an internet troll? All throughout the game he distracts you from you're doing, always has to the last say, always being obnoxious, always mocking and instigating, and whenever you have him beat he just downplays it and tries to somehow make you out to be the idiot even as he's making himself look like a moron. The Riddler in this game reminded me of nearly every troll I've ever encountered on a forum or comment section.

[CheesyGranola]

@FunkyFrank10 Batman: *looking for the Riddler's trophies*

Riddler: Problem, Batman? *sends an image of a trollface*

Batman: -_-

[FunkyFrank10]

@CheesyGranola , Batman should have either reported or ignored Riddler and kept his attention on the bigger problems at hand.

[CheesyGranola]

@FunkyFrank10 He kind of does at the end when he gets him arrested. Haha.

[TheWackadooFuckhead]

@FunkyFrank10 Fuck off with your ridiculous idiotic comparison's you pathetic worm cunt.

[AngelC28]

This guy doing the riddler's voice sounds like jim carrey...

[DCMarvel2009]

@AngelC28 Nah he sounds like John Glover's B:TAS/TNBA Riddler.

[AngelC28]

@DCMarvel2009 I meant a little bit. I think that is John Glover, but I am referring to the part where he gets angry.

[DCMarvel2009]

@AngelC28 Oh. He DOES sound like Jim Carrey when he gets angry. And he also sounds like John Glover when he's calm. His voice actor Wally Wingert does a good job conveying Edward's mood swings.

[tytryo]

the riddler and scarecrow, easily the two most brilliant and intriguing characters that the batman universe has to offer

[lulu1night4ever]

Weird, i thought he did riddles not jokes (like joker?)

[CheesyGranola]

@lulu1night4ever He does do riddles. He's just being condescending.

[lulu1night4ever]

@CheesyGranola

Mean vocab dude, and thanks for clearing that up.

[pomssi1]

This Riddler will always be my favorite, unlike DC Universe where he looks like an idiot, acts like an idiot and has a bad voice actor. In Arkham Asylum, he has style, awesome voice, and an awesome-er personality.

-"Childhood?"

-"Miserable. Next!" 

[AdrianMorrison101]

@pomssi1 it fits the ACTUAL persona of the riddler a egotistical moodswinging riddler. but with all means some other drawings of him LOOK exactly as he should while in arkham city he looks too old and scruffy.

[MortalGamer1]

@pomssi1 riddler comes out in DCU????

[DJDizzy113]

It's hilarious how little the Riddler really knows about Batman. Batman's gadgets come from Bruce Wayne's company and Gordon's the only good cop in Gotham. And Batman IS that selfless.

[starkiller20293]

@DJDizzy113 Yet he knows who Batman is.

[CheesyGranola]

@DJDizzy113 Well, to be fair, we only know that Bruce Wayne is Batman because the various medias of the series let us know. Would you really believe that the billionaire playboy with more cash than he knows what to do with would go out and fight criminals, risking harm when he could be at home in his jacuzzi and drinking vintage wine?

[crazyharry156]

I could listen to Riddler and Joker's voices all day.

[Zapperr66]

@crazyharry156 at least this games versions

[thechosenone733]

its not safe to say where your going if you breck out

[JamieHowitt]

NOTE:

They didn't give up on the villains after 5 interviews. Note the numbers: "Patient Interview 44", etc. Just because Batman only found five tapes doesn't mean they're the *only* five :D

(Because some people in these comments actually think that!)

[thestorniolo]

the riddle is the most funny man in the asylum,haha

[TheSuirad]

Jigsaw's son?

[alevsener2]

this is by far my favourite interview tape

[monisstripes13]

Haha I tried his riddle (the baby one) and told my teacher...i got detention for dark humor! >wO

[BlueStrawberryProd]

@monisstripes13 lol nice

[EnvoyOfTheBlackAbyss]

I guess that's the Riddler for ya: he can give you all the standard riddles, but he can make up his own answers

AGH! You can never take these crazy people seriously! XP

[BlueStrawberryProd]

Man I love this version of the riddler! Wonder who did the voice

[mindreaper21]

@BlueStrawberryProd Wally Wingert. He's the announcer for the Jay Leno show.

[BlueStrawberryProd]

@mindreaper21 oh i heard of him he does renji on bleach renji isnt my fav character but he's cool

[BlueStrawberryProd]

who did the voice for this riddler

[curlzferrero]

guys, note the number of the interviews, there are only 5 tapes batman's found, but the 2nd tape is interview 39, the 3rd number 44, 4th number 55, 5th number 76.

but i really think they should have better tactics than simply talking about the persons background.

Hardcore pysicotics, didn't they say?? :)

[TheSevenCamels]

* Also, how does giving a baby with two arms a crutch mean it has three limbs? It would be using up one arm to carry the crutch assuming it could even hold it correctly. The riddle is quite invalid.

[airbeyonder18]

Some people react the way Dr. Young does. Can't blame them. Riddler and I are alike in many ways.

[5zaide]

@airbeyonder18 you both kill people and are obsessed with getting attention and have obsessive compulsive didorders

[airbeyonder18]

@5zaide No, we're both intelligent and obsessive (just a little) ;)

[MangakaRob]

that last one seems like an easter egg for the next game to me.

[youngupsessor13]

am i the only one who thinks about buying this game to win and then listen to all of the sessions for the villains

[ChelseaHerself]

has anyone else noticed that, in the picture, The Riddler seems to have a similar stance as Joker's?

[ShadowSora94]

Gotta love how all of Arkham Asylum's doctors let their emotions get in the way so much and give up so easily on trying to cure their patient's.

Jesus Christ, no wonder no one in that god-forsaken hell house ever makes any progress- they're dealing with hard-core psychotics, the least they could do is get some doctors with some goddamned patience that don't quit after five interviews.

[MangakaRob]

@ShadowSora94 actually it was at least over 50 interviews...

[paddonc]

edward (riddler) is a rip off of jack naiper (joker)

[ceitiosaurus]

Why the hello wasn't he in the game?

[GarethandSarah]

I get it, there are more than 5 tapes...christ sake, tell me again please.

[flashfire505]

2:46 = Jigsaw?

[Furubatsu]

I still think Jim Carry was an epic Riddler

[BladeTheHedgehog0]

Right around the 3rd one he lost his mind

[llamassayobey212]

Riddler and Joker are the best characters

[SCRuner5h]

He's the sanest one in the Asylum.

That's not saying much, though.

[pokehacker]

@SCRuner5h yeah. however solving his riddles that he sets around the asylum is an amusing diversion

[TomboTime]

@SCRuner5h i thought the sanest one was the scarecrow? after all, warden sharp said he believes Crane is quite sane . . . .just evil.

[oldskoolrocker1000]

@SCRuner5h I'd say Scarecrow is. Yet again they are kinda even. Just one is obsessed with madness. And the other drenched.

[katieburak93]

@SCRuner5h so true

[mewtwopwnseveryone]

@SCRuner5h

dont forget the scarecrow

[Lethkul]

@SCRuner5h Jonathan Crane is saner than him IMO. Crane is a sadist, Nigma is just obsessive with his own intellect.

[monisstripes13]

i just love how he yells on the second interview tape and on the last one she says: seriously Edward

[commandouma]

Thumbs up if you miss Mark Hamill!!!

[joshscorcher]

He sounds like a game show host.

I think it fits.

[Geoshi]

Wally Wingert is to Riddler, as Mark Hamill is to Joker, superb voice casting! =)

[TheWestlandCrew]

@Karamchandani510 Bro, I was thinking the same exact thing right now before I read your comment. He looks and sounds like Neil Patrick Harris.

[Awesometaco5754]

Best Riddler voice so far

[Blues307]

I love the Riddler. Can't get enough of him, ever.

[VBrittanyLeighV]

By far my fave. villan

[ThatsBitch3n]

Wally Wingert, best Riddler voice ever.

[sdcazares1980]

If you can put THIS Riddler in Batman 3, it would rock! The philosophy and debate of the "useless" and "stupid" people would definitely be the theme of the movie.

[Skokiejoeooo]

Michael c. hall would play a good riddler

[leskvon]

Its not my baby . . .

[Dawnelldo2]

@leskvon Don't let the Riddler near your kids.

[GarethandSarah]

I know I misread it!

I only need to be told once.

[MEMANIAsama]

Jim Carrey could easily have played this type of a Riddler in a batman movie.

[Spadesandsinners]

@MEMANIAsama He did....

[Spadesandsinners]

@MEMANIAsama and yet sadly we got him in Batman Forever... Dammit! why couldn't he be in a more serious Batman

[XXXPerfectPoisonXXX]

How do you stop a baby from crawling around in circles?

You nail it's other hand to the floor. ^^

[MrNosrebor]

It's weird how the Riddler's pose and the Joker's pose are the same....?

[OnlyXInXWonderland]

@MrNosrebor And how they both had abusive childhood by their father. :) And have the same colors... Green and Purple/Purple and Green. I have a theory they are secret brothers :3

[deathisyouu64]

@OnlyXInXWonderland Joker and Riddler brothers? ha that seems actually possible! They do have a few similar personality traits huge egos, saying things with hidden meanings,manipulating people, can go calm to crazy, and there gimmicks jokes and riddles same in a way but different.

Riddle me This,Joke with me That! hehe =]

[heresthadude1080]

@deathisyouu64 And they have the same pose!

[Majere567]

@OnlyXInXWonderland That would be an awesome plot twist..

[Landmarkmoon]

E.Nigma

[obayedkhan]

1st tape made me LOL soooo fucking much!!!!

[Kingofeurope]

Great voice acting. The Riddler is especially genius.

[ShaDHP23]

A master of puppets, a king of gamit, lord of the riddles. They outdid themselves with him this time. Not a shred of remorse or hesitation. They greatest form of torture? Mental...

[JournaloftheWiccan]

RIDDLER: What walks on 4 legs then 2 legs and finally on 3 legs?

YOUNG: Human. as a baby crawls on 4, as an adult it walks on 2, and later it uses a cane.

RIDDLER: The answer to all is a baby. True it crawls on all 4s, but cut off its legs and it oculd only wiggle on 2 limbs. Give it a crutch it can hobble on 3. You see?

YOUNG: Thats horrible. How can you even joke about that?

RIDDLER: Easily Doctor.....its not my baby...

(LOL! its so disturbing, but so true..)

[GirlsBravoFan21]

Is it just me or does The Riddler in the game sound like Jim Carrey from the movie that he was in as the Riddler?

[DjTemplar84]

barney stinson? LOL

[Archangel0912]

Wow, I never saw the Riddler as a sociopath. After this, I'll never see him the same way again! Brrr!

[mindreaper21]

@Archangel0912 U need to read his early comics. He did things like killing cops and lodging ping pong balls in babies throats. Thats why The Riddler is my favorite character. His history was just overshadowed by The Joker.

[SanGuevara]

The Riddler is one of my favorite Batman characters; I love how he can come across as a pathetic b-villain one moment and then turn into a sadistic bastard the next. Jeph Loeb really did justice to the character with his Batman trilogy (Long Halloween, Dark Victory, Hush), and I would love to see what Chris and Jonathan Nolan could do with him.

Who could play him? Jamie Earle Haley? Hugo Weaving? Tim Roth? Knowing Nolan, he would probably cast someone no one would expect.

[heroesfan28]

@SanGuevara apparently david tennant expressed his enjoyment at wanting to portray the riddler

[redfox409]

I bet Riddler, Penguin, Joker, 2-face, and cat woman are hard to get though.

[redfox409]

You all say he is very easy to get, But that is because you have expereance in do ing it years of practice. But I got the game on Dec 25th and still can't get him whats worng?

[Stinsonboi]

is that jim carrey ?

[date2masamune]

@Stinsonboi at some times riddler did sound like jim, just my thought.

[redfox409]

Anyone have any cheat codes for this it is to help me beat bane.

[xXBatmanFreakXx]

bane is the easiest boss. He's just a slightly harder version of the other big guys. T_T

[redfox409]

I have this game. fact I got it Christmas of last year. Bane is too hard to fight. He come at me too fast by the time i set bat man to fight with the right weapon he already half way beaten me.

[JaizyOnline]

yeeeees, the riddler is back

[Vexensheart]

Whooooo! He is fiiiinnneee! lol

[KyoSohma2211]

"I can no longer tolerate his mood swings and tantrums." I thought that was your job, ma'am. :|

[s4Samii]

@KyoSohma2211 if u hear the 2nd interview she says taped interview 39

[TheSevenCamels]

@KyoSohma2211 These trained asylum-for-the-criminally-insa­ne workers sure are professional. Look at her brilliant reaction at 0:53! Wow, what skill. She needs a medal.

[XeleGamer]

I got all the tapes, it so funny listening to all of them again.

[UdtheImp]

Young: That's horrible! How can you even JOKE about that?!

Riddler: That's quite easy! Its not my baby.

LOL XD

Man, a few of lines Riddler gives in each tape session is surprisingly funny. Must be syphoning off the Joker's sense of humor. XD

Yeah, this version of the Riddler is the extreme case of an arrogant douche that could only come from years of abuse trying to prove his inherent intellectual superiority to his unbelieving, yet secretly envious, parent.

[chaos0emperor]

That riddle in the beginning made me laugh so damn hard.

[lolgir]

@chaos0emperor Yeahhh...baby severing is funny...in some fucked up way

[chaos0emperor]

@lolgir It's even better when it's not your baby.

riddler is a little biatch
