The Evolution Of The Riddler (ANIMATED)

The Riddler is one of Batman's whackiest villains, but just how has he evolved since his on-screen debut? From the campy 1960's Batman series to 2022's The Batman, let's go through Riddler's TV, Cartoon, and Movie Evolution...animated!
And this animation is definitely quite the enigma ;)

I absolutely loved the riddler in Gotham because I was pumped about his origin with him meeting his future self and having a tragic life along with romantic. I also liked the relationship he had with penguin because it starts as a partnership, they then turn into enemies after Penguin killed riddlers lover. Then they join again and become a duo of crime. Although, originally, penguin and joker are the duo and so is riddler and two face but whatevs

The Batman's Riddler was amazing. I found it innovative how he was different and quite liked the "zodiac killer" inspiration for the character. Plus, Paul Dano really smashed the ball out of the park with his performance. Plus who knows, after how he reacted to losing and the possibility of being back in a sequel, he might start quipping.

[@disneyknightspadilla1406]

He looks more scarier than scarecrow from the dark Knight trilogy. But more massive than ghost face.

[@LoganWH8]

My only issue with The Batman’s Riddler- why does the initial plan of killing off the corrupt individuals in positions of power escalate to flooding the city, killing the new mayor, and gunning down civilians? Like, the corrupt mayor, DA, and police commissioner, plus Falcone the mob boss are all dead and the new Mayor was actively anti corruption, so what does the attack accomplish other than killing more people?

I agree, the new version of riddler just doesn’t feel right. I get what they were going for by making him mimic the zodiac killer… but like he’s the riddler (a very goofy character) and it just doesn’t feel like him.

[@PhysicallyAwake]

@@freebooterluckless I wouldn’t really say he is “goofy”. I loved Cory’s deception of Riddler in Gotham, because it actually felt like HE was the Riddler. I understand that the Riddler himself is supposed to BE a goofy person, but it just doesn’t make sense, and it also creates this facade of a character where his only personality trait ARE the riddles (and of course his ridiculous costume.) I still think making the Riddler an actually SCARY character, a VILLAN, per say, especially one who’s apparently incredibly intelligent and has a lack of emotion, is the way to go. (If you haven’t watched Gotham, it’s not the best show out there, but the actors and actresses really do give it justice, I recommend watching it solely for Riddler, Penguin, and Jerome.)

[@marinaspanovic8725]

wanna spoiler

[@Spaced92]

No major spoilers but he's quite different from other versions while keeping the core of the character there with his condescension and need to feel intellectually superior. I think as a main villain Riddler needs to be a bit more repulsive and understandable, but OG Riddler kinda comes out a bit more near the end, like Batman isn't a veteran yet Riddler will probably have a side role in the sequels as a more traditional version.

[@isreailtewhatu3657]

The video was really good I love your videos anyways can you make a video of evolution of king ghildorah if you haven't yet I can't find it if it is out

I always found Riddler as a kind of comic relief character in the beginning, he tries so hard to be batman's number one villain but always fails. As time went on he did start getting more time in spotlight, I believe the turning point was the "Goth Riddler" from The Batman cartoon, as we got to see how his family and friends wronged him, before he became a villain. The Arkham video games certainly made him memorable, gliding all over the dam place trying to find his trophies and solve his riddles. Then Batman Hush came and we saw him take stabs at Batman, both physically and mentally. When the bomb shell was dropped that Hush was actually Riddler, I was shocked, I had convinced myself that it was the original guy, Tommy Eliot, and that he faked his death in that movie. Now we have The Batman movie, and the Riddler is now a Zodiac Killer. I have yet to watch The Batman, and something tells me I'm gonna enjoy it. This will definitely make him memorable, and more of a threat to Batman going forward.

Totally, he's had quite the evolution. He was actually the main villain of the Batman 1966 series (at least in the first season) but the actor had a pay dispute with the studio so he only appeared twice after that

[@Spaced92]

The cartoon was most definitely not a turning point for the character. Riddler had some big roles in comics in the 90's, he has always been considered a major Batman villain. Something like Dark Knight, Dark City or Run, Riddler Run, The Long Halloween. His original role in the Hush comic had him as one of the few characters to ever just figure out Batmans identity.

*3:53** Paul Dano's Riddler is the most realistic version of the character. Just like Joaquin Phoenix's Joker. His performance with Jigsaw-style riddles and traps worked well.*

This Is A Great Video At Some Point Could We End Up Getting An Evolution Of Two Face & Penguin?

“Sticking out your gyat for the riddler”💀💀💀

[@thehourman7602]

Gotham riddler is still the best riddler imo

[@TellItAnimated]

It's nice to spend a lot of time with a Riddler and get to know Nygma for a while before he turns

[@SWDude2710]

Can't wait to see how you create evolution videos of Batman's other notable adversaries, most notably Penguin, Two Face, Mr Freeze, Catwoman, Scarecrow, Bane, and the rest!

[@BatmanandSonicfan4901]

Riddler in my opinion is seriously so overconfident he always says he will be at batman but yet it never happens

[@ThenewTchannel]

Riddler in the 2004 animated series is so often overlooked, with more attention being given to his emo-esque design when it should be going to the fact that Robert Englund, Freddy Kreuger himself, voiced him

[@Da1Dez]

After Paul Dano's portrayal and design, I think this character's previous incarnations are a thing of museums now. Makes absolute sense for the character to have a cowl mask.

It would be cool to see two-faces evolution, please do him

[@darkimflamos1872]

Yay ! So glad to see a video with my fav DC villain ! Nice job ! ^^ Also, i think an evolution of Scarecrow would be cool if it hasn't already been done :)

[@kyleshiflet9952]

Yes Scarecrow is my favorite villain I wish they did him justice in Batman Begins

[@TellItAnimated]

That would be cool!

[@alexandergarnica1731]

@@TellItAnimated please make a evolution of the scarecrow or if you're going for hero than do Superman
