This is a video about "the Riddler"!

The Riddler (Edward Nigma, Nygma, or Nashton) is an enemy of Batman. The Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and word games. He delights in forewarning both Batman and the police of his capers by sending them complex clues. With this self-conscious use of a gimmick, the Riddler's crimes are flamboyant and ostentatious. The character is often depicted as wearing a domino mask either with a green suit and bowler hat, or a green jumpsuit. Riddler often carries a trick "question mark" cane.

Unlike most of the other prominent members of Batman's rogues gallery, the Riddler is not a psychopathic murderer; rather, he is a malignant narcissist with an ego that rivals or may even surpass that of the Joker. He commits his crimes in order to flaunt his intellectual superiority and a large portion of his crimes are non-violent in nature. While the Riddler's behavior may often appear insane to some, it is in fact the result of a deep seated neurosis. As such Batman's direct conflicts with the Riddler are typically more cerebral than physical and usually involve defeating him non-violently.

The Riddler's criminal is so deeply ingrained into his personality that he is virtually powerless to stop himself from acting it out. He cannot simply kill his opponents when he has the upper hand; he has to put them in a deathtrap to see if he can devise a life and death intellectual challenge that the hero cannot solve and escape. However, unlike many of Batman's themed enemies, Riddler's compulsion is quite flexible, allowing him to commit any crime as long as he can describe it in a riddle or puzzle!!

  • I Hated the Riddler in The Batman!

  • Jim Carrey is the perfect JOKER!! is crazy and funny

  • @TofuExplosion Agreed, the character is a lot darker than what Carey played

  • why does the riddler look gay in batman beyond

  • @MorientesF How he had the crazy but he wasnt threatining in ANY way also he wasnt a mad genius just mad

  • Carey's Riddler sucked. Jim Carey is hilarious, but he overacted way too much for a psychological role like Edward Nigma's.

  • @MorientesF No way. He was too creepy. Not cute enough to be MY Eddie <3

  • @logan301001 1:28 aerosmith? XD

  • The Riddler is not so funny guy, to all the people saying Jim Carrey played a good Riddler, you obviously don't know the character.

  • @MorientesF No he is not.
