Description So, I was looking up dancing videos on youtube and came across Fred Astaire tap dancing to "Puttin' on the Ritz." My first thought was "he kinda looks like Frank Gorshin." With the Riddler in mind, I proceeded to watch Fred Astaire do the most AWESOME tap dancing I've ever seen. This guy is amazing.

The itch to draw the Riddler tap dancing seemed inevitable. These were just fairly quick sketches. I feel like I haven't drawn in forever.

I may or may not color one of these...I'm not sure. I might even add to these. Sketching tap dancing poses is a lot of fun.

I colored the bottom one.

Riddler dancing is pretty cool.

I love Puttin' on the Ritz song.

Oh, it's a wonderful song. Put tap dancing to it and it is even better. Add the Riddler on top of that and it'd truly be a sight to behold.

Perfect! It's weird Fred Astaire always reminds me of Riddler too, especially on that song with his hat and cane! Love this now I will always imagine Riddler tap dancing when no one is looking! And then Scarecrow and Hatter come in and are all: O_O
That'd be hilarious!

XD Riddler would be all, "What?" and be all smug about it, too.

I love Two-Face, the Mad Hatter, Scarecrow, and the Ventriloquist. There are so many awesome villains in the Batman universe.

Most certainly. I'm just like Scare-gasming at this moment, looking at massive amounts of fanart and doing a lot of reading fanfictions and writing. I may/probably will post something tonight~ I'm just spaaazzing over Scarecrow right now.

XD Scarecrow is pretty awesome too. I've really come to love him since reading some awesome fanfics and reading the comics.

He's my all time favorite villain of all time. I just read every Scarecrow comic I can get my hands on... I have like two books, a collection, four actual comics and two digital comics. I'm crazy about him! Lol

That's probably the one I'll do, although I'm planning on adding a few more sketches to this. He is so much fun to sketch tap-dancing!

I love Fred Astaire. Awesome dancer and rather good singer and actor too. It does seem rather fitting to have the Riddler dancing to 'Puttin' on the Ritz'.

Oh yeah. Don't feel too bad. It wasn't till I left home that I really knew anything about him. My parents weren't into musicals which most if not all of his movies out. *sigh* But I've seen a few of them now and have added some others to my nexflix queue.

Thank you so much! I don't get to draw the Riddler enough.

I can't help but imagine some awkward moment in a car between him and Scarecrow. Example: Scarecrow revealing he likes some old band from long ago, like Led Zeppilin, and he get's embarrassed beyond all reason. XDDD
