One of my all time favorite characters. I was LOVING what Dini was doing with the character. His Villain special was glorious. Thank you for making this appreciation thread. I also joined you on facebook and added your website to my favorites.

"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
And because we dont have too many images in the thread yet, here is an awesome fan art done by Red Trujillo
Frank Gorshwin-I have to give him credit for making the role his own even though I am not really a fan of the goofiness.
Sean Astin-No idea on this one
Jim Carrey-I am torn on this one. On one hand I see bits of greatness in the performance (it wasn't bad) but again the goofiness kind of killed it for me.
John Glover- THIS is the voice of the Riddler in my head. All three BTAS episodes with him in it are GREAT.
Robert Englund-I hate The Batman series but honestly the only episodes I watch regularly are the Riddler ones. Englund plays almost a Marilyn Manson version of the Riddler but it somehow works. Surprisingly good stuff. Plus the Riddler is more threatening than Joker or Penguin (see the last episode of Season two I believe).
And who thinks even on TAS Glover's riddler looks like the actor?
Greg Capullo Riddler Figure from DC Comics NEW Designer Series.
Looks fantastic.

I loved The Riddler in the final scenes of Hush. I really thought that this was going to be a big build up for the character, but seems like they dropped the ball. I love what they are doing in the Zero Year story line. Loved the character in BTAS and The Batman.
He's an amazing character and one of the most underrated Batman villains, I think. Here is an excellent article by Chris Sims from Comics Alliance underlying why The Riddler best accentuates "The World's Greatest Detective" aspect of Batman out of all his villains, and how he's seldom used to his fullest potential: http://comicsalliance.com/ask-chris-101-the-riddler/

I haven't actually played any of these games as only consoles in my house since my PS2 have been Nintendo's as my son is addicted to Mario.
Contemplating getting one just to try this trilogy of Arkham games out though.

Cant wait to see Cory's take on Nygma, think he is going to be brilliant.
And how awesome is this tie.

My fave bat villain. Apart from the "Ft Riddler & Two Face" collection there isn't much of the old Riddler classics available, which is a shame.
Conversation Hitcher
We like imagining Edward Nygma being placed in odd situations and coming up with tricky and cunning 'solutions.'
Life is full of riddles: "Boston (Massachusetts) is a city with a pedestrianism-paved park, but San Francisco (California) features a pedestrianism-friendly trolley, so which city is more grateful?"
The Riddler boasts about the dark side of life's ironic competitions; and in his question-mark accented costume, the Riddler confounds the simplicity of conversation.
The Riddler's reply: "Boston is more school-rich (than San Francisco), but Gotham is more paranoid (than San Francisco and Boston), so which is more resourceful?"
