What always annoyed me is that many of Riddler’s riddles weren’t riddles. They were dumb puns or ridiculous bullshit that Batman can only solve because the author said that he did.
I’m sure that was a very cathartic end to the interaction, on Batman’s part, but I notice he didn’t actually find out where the bombs are.
Cheating at the Riddler’s riddles is totally justifiable, sure, but it didn’t get Batman any closer to the thing he actually wanted.
He’s got billions of dollars in tech he can use; can’t he get Alfred to look up and whisper the answer in his ear in a way that doesn’t expose the fact that he’s cheating? So that he can get the information he needs to, you know, DISARM THE BOMBS?
Man, Batman gadgets sure have really improved. He’ll just probably just wear a surgical mask to defeat Scarecrow tho.
On a side note i just realized the voice of the Riddler in TAS was the guy from Gremlins 2 and the swapped Trill host in Deep Space 9.
I’d love a whole series like this. Batman villains are just way over the top and need to be brought down a peg.

“Okay counterpoint, you’re a terrorist” got me.
Oh look, it’s me DMing and my players “solving” the riddles I pose for them.

I just subscribed to this guy’s youtube channel a week or 2 ago. He puts out great, short form content exactly like this.

This is so perfect. It reminds me of Venture Brothers
