The only villain Batman fears

Batman: Earth One Vol. 2
▸ The Riddler has arrived in Gotham and he’s terrorizing the city with his own twisted brand of anarchy. But why is he attacking now, and what is his endgame? The Riddler isn’t Batman’s only problem, as Killer Croc is on the streets and his violent crimes can’t be ignored. Meanwhile, the Dark Knight has trouble reconciling the increasingly conflicting ideologies of Alfred Pennyworth and James Gordon in this gripping re-imagining of the Batman mythology.

Riddler is the type of man that distracts batman with collectibles and riddler trophies.

[@comics_explained]

And once he gets them all the reward isn’t even that great. At least go the metal gear solid route and provide a stealth device that makes you invisible.

Not making the Earth One comics more mainstream and continuing them was a loss DC will never recover from because ALL of them are so good it legit makes no damn sense. We DESERVE more of these Earth One stories. I'd do anything to get more and more of them

[@NoFace-ke9pc]

Because it takes real storytelling and world building. Gotta pay money for all that time and energy.

[@donaldthump6461]

Yeah and it is not just „I AM BATMAN“

@@NoFace-ke9pc they were on the right track if you’ve read them all. They were fleshin tf out. Beautifully. Making changes that were seriously interesting and could stand on its own! Depresses me every time I go to Wikipedia to see if there’s any updates. Not giving up hope but damn I wish they’d just do it. Some amazing stories could be told if they just keep them going

[@joeybuddy96]

Harvey Bullock descending from a beautiful celebrity into who his is in BTAS is the kind of tragedy that makes the Batman franchise work when it's at its best. The Clock King, Killer Croc, Baby Doll, Two Face, Clay Face, Mr. Freeze, etc all had tragic backstories that nudged them into becoming villains and supervillains. Bullock just didn't have the fantastic circumstances or genius that transformed the rest into villains. Throughout the time we see him, he is dying a hero, just very, very slowly and in a self-inflicted, para-suicidal way. It's really good writing.

This whole story reminds me of a different Riddler quote from way back: "Answer right and everything will be, a Flight! Answer wrong....and I'm afraid the travelers of Gotham airport will be singing, their last song." If you know, you know.

[@Shadowdragon_TV]

Street-level Batman stories are always my favorite DC material. The gritty, realistic touch always gives us such phenomenal stories. Thank you for covering this! I'm loving it!

The War of Jokes & Riddles is my favorite Riddler story. When you see what his actual motive was, and what he put an entire city through just to achieve it, and how little Batman could do to stop any of it? It puts respect on the name Nigma.

Nygma was also the only person to ever successfully double-cross Amanda Waller.
