Discovered today that the Riddler is called the Sphinx in French???

I don’t know what to make of this, it makes sense though but???

seeing “the fandomification of all media has to stop” on a post about the batman is so funny. it’s a man who dresses up like a bat and uses funny little gadgets to stop crimes.

i guarantee you it is not

fanfic

the sequel to Birds of Prey looks great

dc fandom has been redeemed by 99% of the fandom siding with riddler over joker

to be fair its kinda like being asked to choose between a delicious slice of cake and a kick in the crotch with ice skates

I bet even Batman likes Riddler. He gets the call that Riddler’s broken out of Arkham and is terrorizing the city, and he’s like “Oh, good. I get to give my mind a workout and keep Eddie from doing anything too stupid. I’ll bring the kids. They could use some critical thinking training.”

Ahh, the riddler. Just remember, in the Arkham games, he’s just “hey batman, I hid question marks. Can you find them?” And then just wandered off. No murder no mayhem. Just puzzles.

The Riddler wants to be foiled every time, and if one time a bunch of garbagemen got crushed by a giant neon sign because Batman couldn’t figure out that the difference between “Union” and “Neon” is “U and I”, he would probably fall into a depressive state for months because maybe I wasn’t clear enough on that one, was it Batman who failed or was it me who failed? and therefore every time Batman triumphs the Riddler thinks “I am truly living my best life.”

Riddler just wants to do some puzzle crime damn it

Seeing John Mulaney do his ‘Robot Test’ bit has given me a strong desire to see him play a live action Riddler.

But not like, as any character other than John Mulaney? Like, let’s make a John Mulaney version of Edward Nigma. Just this socially awkward disaster man who somehow becomes a supervillain because of a misunderstanding he couldn’t correct without ‘seeming rude’. And now supposedly he’s committed to killing Batman but he doesn’t actually want to be the cause of a man’s death so he just obfuscates things with ‘clues’ and ‘riddles’ and ‘battles of wits’ until Batman inevitably defeats him and he’s just like ‘oh thank god please don’t hit me’.

Batman’s like ‘you need help Nigma’ and he’s just like ‘yeah that’s fair, I should probably look into seeing somebody at this point, I became a supervillain because of social anxiety and that might just be a red flag you know?’

“Hey, Batman, think you’ve seen everything, huh? Well, figure out how to deal with this! You know Gotham General Hospital? Yeah? Well you’ll never guess what I let loose in there!”

“Riddle me this, what has four hooves and presents a massive health and safety violation?”

so i wrote a fic

I felt I had no choice

somehow i missed this reblog when it was originally posted and i feel we should all take a moment to appreciate this masterpiece of editing
