The Dark Knight Rises Riddle Me This: The Riddler Characterization Thread

[ronny]

Show Two-Face in a flashback please. One of the people he shot that night has to have some relevance to the story.
Plus, Eckhart was too ****ing amazing not to bring back.

 

[COMPO]

woud you bring him back for real Ronny?

 

[RetroNaz]

It would be awesome to find out towards the end of the film that the Riddler was in a LOT of scenes, where he is dressed as a reporter or just a regular joe, observing.

 

[COMPO]

yeah i loved that in Seven

 

[RetroNaz]

Yeah same.

 

[ronny]

woud you bring him back for real Ronny?

In flashback, yes. But as an active, living character? No. I reckon they secretly shoved Dent in a cosy cell at Arkham. But he may as well be dead.
But that's not to say that his killing spree won't have some ramifications in Batman 3.

How about having the movie wrap up with The Riddler's arrest with him shouting that it wasn't him. Then have a camera go deep into the catacombs of Arkham, to an unmarked cell, with a half grinning Dent mumbling and chuckling to himself, then cut back to Gotham with Batman and his shadown looming over the city. The end.

Its about the only way I would want to see Dent return.

Only bring Harvey in flashback or dream sequence. He SHOULD NOT BE ALIVE. Him dying, how he served the overall story and the theme in TDK does more than bringing him back from the dead in a third film would ever do. I'd rather see the Joker back then bringing Harvey back from the dead.

I like the last one, its somethin the riddler would say.

My thoughts exactly.

I'd love something like this. I'm liking alot of your idea's dude.

 

[Ryan]

I think it would also be cool to have the Riddler dress up in different disguises throughout the movie

Actually I think I posted that a bit earlier, maybe it was missed.

 

[COMPO]

I'd like it if Riddler was kind of mysterious like the Joker but is more like america's most wanted, he's a con artist turned theif turned hacker, who is known by the FBI for moving through most of America and doing a string of Riddle Crimes. He's taken on the CIA, FBI, and many police departments even different mobs but Batman has caught his eye.

Either that or I'd have him as a sort of conspiracy theorist type character, who has theorised that Batman isn't the killer or doesn't believe it and is setting out to prove it using the evidence he has brought together as Riddles for people to find and its kind of race for Batman to catch Riddler before his riddles spill the beans about Dent.

I think the second idea is an interesting idea but to be honest I much prefer the first idea its closer to the riddler in my opinion and seems the most interesting, although if they mould the two together it would be cool.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Riddler does seem like a good logical next step into the progression of Bruce's journey. I don't want to get my hopes too high. He might not be in the film.

 

[COMPO]

who would you have instead if not the Riddler? For me, if they don't bring Two-Face back then Black Mask.

for the look of the Riddler, i really want something like this.
(i scanned it)

 

[COMPO]

oh dear god no, he looks like a hobo :/

 

[COMPO]

[Kane52630]

so as the joker :/

 

[COMPO]

but with the joker it kind of suited him, but with the Riddler it just doesn't suit his character, he looks down on his luck rather than a master riddler.

 

[RetroNaz]

Agree with Compo.

In every single way, Riddler is the opposite of the Joker.

Where the Joker equals chaos and anarchy, the Riddler equals calculation and tact.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

looks like a fast and the furious corny beginning villain that gets beat in a race and then you never see them again

 

[RetroNaz]

lol!!!

 

[COMPO]

i kind of thought he looked like a pimp

 

[RetroNaz]

He looks like he has polio.

 

[Rodrigo90]

I wrote him as a former detective so that he has vast knowledge of knowing what to do and being careful when committing his crimes and leaving clues. He leaves no traces,except what he wants people to find. He has seen how other criminals work,and knows how to act as a pro.
