![]() Big "NO!": Yells out a rather satisfying one just before Batman crosses the finish line on the last lap of his final race challenge.Both Batman and some of Gotham's other villains consider Riddler a nobody. Riddler only captures a handful of people to put into deathtraps, and he has to rely on conscripts to do his dirty work. Likewise, none of Riddler's death traps approach the plans of Joker and Scarecrow, who regularly threaten Gotham and beyond with their own gang. At best, Riddler is an annoyance who is too self-deluded to solve a mystery as basic as finding out Batman's Secret Identity, something Bane and Hugo Strange both found out with Boring, but Practical means. Big Bad Wannabe: Riddler keeps boasting to everyone how he's Batman's intellectual superior, and the biggest threat the Dark Knight has ever faced.Batman lampshades it after Riddler's defeat at the end of Knight, saying that making riddles and traps that are Unwinnable by Design doesn't even fit Riddler's very limited definition of "fair". Also doesn't like to be called insane, as it implies he has a mental illness or deficiency.(Particularly the Bat himself.) Batman's repeated victories causes the latter to be permanently locked in place. He does not appreciate Batman being called a hero, or anyone besting him intellectually.Batman and Catwoman must destroy his robots to disable it. Barrier Warrior: His mech suit in Knight is outfitted with an electric barrier.Of course, with what Catwoman accomplished there, it's safe to say that Riddler's done as a supervillain. As of Catwoman's DLC episode in Arkham Knight his henchmen have decided to abandon him once they get paid, having gotten fed up with his insults and the robot drones. In the fourth game, he replaces his mooks with robot drones. He's just as abusive to the Mooks as Joker was in the first game. Bad Boss: In the second game, he replaces Joker as the commentator during the Predator and Combat side missions.Ax-Crazy: Despite his insistence to the contrary, he is most unstable.It's mentioned that part of Riddler's wounded pride ensures that he won't leave well enough alone, and just has to be the center of attention. He makes his plans the most grandiose and theatrical, frequently hacking into screens where Batman can't help but see him, along with making a big show out of everything he does. Attention Whore: His character bio mentions that he has a compulsive need for attention.Arc Villain: Of his sidequests (which comprise of the majority of the sidequest content in Arkham City, Arkham Knight and Arkham Origins, and all of the sidequest content of Arkham Asylum). ![]() Affably Evil: During his time as Enigma, though he was still pretty snide even then.In fact during one of his Death Trap scenarios when Edward attempts to cheat, in order to "outwit" the Dark Knight, it fails because Batman is also better at cheating. ![]() His attempts to prove himself the intellectual superior through his riddles and deathtraps only serve to disprove this notion when Batman constantly defeats him. This Riddler is a smug, egotistic, patronizing, arrogant, and thoroughly obnoxious Jerkass who is either ignored or outright belittled by Batman and some of the other villains.
