Riddler (Arkhamverse)

The Riddler is the main antagonist of Riddler side missions made for the Batman: Arkham video game franchise. He was voiced by Wally Wingert.

Why He Intentionally Sucks In This Game
Note: The players are expected to hate this character.
 * 1) The Riddler gets psychologically worse with every game. In Origins, he is calm. By each succeeding game, he gets more unhinged and deadly.
 * 2) He frequently mocks Batman and Catwoman for not getting a Riddler trophy.
 * 3) While his side missions are optional in the first three games, his side mission in Knight is required for the full Knightfall Protocol alongside every other side mission (excluding Season of Infamy side missions).
 * 4) He leaves behind at least 200 trophies and riddles in almost every game. It gets worse in City, where there are 400 trophies and riddles to get.
 * 5) He is very annoying and won’t stop talking through his communications and Gotham City projections.
 * 6) He has a huge ego and is driven by narcissism. He keeps saying that he is the smartest man in Gotham City.
 * 7) His communications voice has a really annoying filter that can go computerized or pitch shifted.
 * 8) He leaves behind henchmen who are informants who leave behind locations of trophies for Batman and they are repetitive.
 * 9) He replaced most of his henchmen with Riddlerbots that can only be defeated by Batman or Catwoman because he believed robots are smarter than human beings.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) After completing the side missions, he gets his comeuppance for terrorizing Gotham.
 * 2) His Gotham City projections in Knight are more humorous than Scarecrow’s.
 * 3) Wally Wingert did a great job voicing the Riddler.
 * 4) He is cleverly inspired by Frank Gorshin and Jim Carrey’s portrayals of the Riddler.

Trivia

 * Wally Wingert loved voicing Riddler despite the fact that he isn’t that good at playing video games. He later voiced Riddler in other DC cartoons and games.
