I actually love saving this riddle for last because I like looking out into the city as I hear the cops busting into Riddler’s hideout. Just something soothing about it. Like a sense of accomplishment knowing Gotham is at peace because of me as Batman.
Riddler is basically the 12 y/o in csgo who first thinks he is better than everyone then when after being dominated gets triggered and starts whining about hacks.
It all makes sense really. In an audio file Nygma solved a seemingly impossible logic puzzle, then was beaten by his father who claimed he must have cheated. He admitted to the interviewer he did. I think we’re seeing some of his dad in him. He believes that intelligence past a certain point must be impossible and that he can only lose if his opponent cheats, all while hypocritically claiming that all his success is only down to intelligence. This is the big problem for this riddler, immense intelligence held back by insecurity and ego. He could literally apply himself to any field and be very successful and live a happy, well off life and get all the praise he could want. Instead he focuses on proving how smart he is and constantly losing in the process
City: He has to walk or he’ll die
Origins: He pisses you off
Knight: He fights you in a big ass mech
