The Riddler from the Batman seems to be very different from Riddler in the comics. I was never scared or intimidated by Riddler in the Arkham Games but he was more of a villain that challenged Batman’s mind and when Riddler loses he acts kind if like a child. The Riddler in the Batman seems to be more cold and calculated like someone who wouldn’t throw a tantrum when Batman beats him but immediately starts planning his next moves.
