Riddler was my least favorite aspect of The Batman, probably one of the worst portrayals of a villain ever for Batman. And it’s not that the idea was bad, it felt like Spacey’s Seven character in some ways, and felt like what a “modern” supervillain might be like, just the actor themself made me cringe anytime they were on screen, their voice and dialogue just sounded dumb. Maybe that was the intended effect, but it was annoying more than sinister. He doesn’t need to parade around in a question-mark green business suit, but I wish they could’ve handled the character a bit better. The concept was good, I liked that, just the execution seemed off.
