Description Number 10 in The Dark Knight Series: [link]

Well I finally got there, Number 10 and of course I had to do a favourite, The Riddler.

I did a totally other idea but I just wasnt feeling it, so back to the drawing board and came up with this.

My idea behind this Riddler was more someone who's a victim of their own mentality, The Riddler prides himself on his puzzle breaking, detective like skills but is so baffled by Batman. Who he is? Why does he do it? What does he get out of it?

So he becomes a criminal more for his interest and desire to answer this burning question. But he knows being a petty thief wont call for the Bats attention, so he becomes more of a 'Jigsaw' type character, kidnapping people and broadcasting his dangerous puzzles. He doesn't mean to kill his first 'player' but after his addiction to puzzles leads to someone being killed by one of his contraptions before the Bat gets there, he gets a thrill from the 'countdown' aspect of puzzles. Can Batman save this person and figure out my trap before time runs out.

I think Paul Bettany could do a good job if the role was ever given out

If Darren Aronofsky really made Batman 4, Riddler should be the main antagonist

Yeah I fucking know that.

It's called thinking of a story arc for the purposes of a film idiot.

Interesting. I suppose the greatest things about comic book characters is you can do almost anything with them

If Nolan did a fourth Batflick (which he probably won't, but I haven't even seen TDKR so I can't judge) I'd like to see the villains be Harley Quinn, reinterpreted as separate from the Joker, paired with either Poison Ivy or the awesome guy above.

Cool idea, you really thought this out! And as other have said the rubix cube is a nice touch.

been loving all your designs and casting choices, though I still think the best man to play The Riddler would be Michael Emerson (Ben Linus on LOST).

DeadmanInc285 In reply to defender2222 [2012-01-08 09:10:34 +0000 UTC]

Yes! Absolutely. Michael Emerson would be a great Riddler with those creepy bug eyes of his.

The best Riddler guess I thought for B3 was David Tennant.

This is very nice! I love what you did with the light and the cube. It gives it a dark... almost sad... atmosphere.

I think it's a huge pity the Riddler won't be in TDKR!

This is an interesting idea for the Riddler, highly approprite for the nolanverse. The Jigsaw aspect is really great.
