[edit] Authorship

Who did this article?

Wikipedia. (Check the history.) --Chris Griswold 17:24, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Respone to "Is He Murderous?"

At one point the article says that in The Batman, Riddler unites with the Joker and Penguin to murder Batman. I just saw that episode today and I got the impression they were just trying to capture and unmask him.

I saw it today as well! We're twins! --Chris Griswold 06:28, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Most incarnations of the Riddler are not murderous but the one in The Batman seems to have to problem with it. He attempted to kill Julie but he was stopped.

[edit] HUSH

You do not "suffer" cancer, you contract it. You can suffer from it after you have contracted it.

[edit] Writer's problem

The series' creators admit they didn't use him very much because his character often made story plots too long, too complex, or too bizarre.

The writers described this problem with the Riddler in an article in Comics Scene#43, published by Starlog.[citation needed]. Enda80 13:16, 28 January 2007 (UTC)Enda80

[edit] Just Now A Toy Sells Death

Does this actually have any meaning and where was it in the game? I never saw it.

[edit] Rumors

Unless it's CONFIRMED, there should be no mention of Riddler being in The Dark Knight. If it can't be cited with a reliable source, it can't be in the article. DurinsBane87 06:45, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Filmick and freezedriedmovies reported it. I'm not very familiar with either website so I don't know how reliable they are. 75.153.231.20 05:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Then that's not a confirmation. Get direct information, not second-hand or worse. Wryspy 06:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

There are unconfirmed claims that The Riddler will be in The Dark Knight or the third Nolan film (assuming there will be one), but as of now those are rumors and it is confirmed that Anthony Michael Hall is NOT Edward Nashton, he is reporter Mike Engel.AuthorNeubius —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.185.133.255 (talk) 02:45, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TNBA's Riddler

Can I add this picture of the Riddler's appearence in "Knight Time"?Image:RiddlerTNBA.jpg Also, since it is from a Superman episode, maybe I should put in one from Judgement Day?Claycrow 17:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

First, non-free images shouldn't be posted directly to talk pages. The call, as edited above, should be used.

Second, we've already got the major variations covered, so adding the other minor ones would only be decoration, something that cannot be supported by a fair use rationale. - J Greb 22:06, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Post-Hush era

There is hardly any information about the character's exploits before the Hush story ark. I'd contribute the information myself, but honestly, I know next to nothing about the Riddler. Anyone else want to take care of this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DCfanatic (talk • contribs) 21:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
