Spotlight on the Riddler

 
An essay (written for the screen writers of BATMAN FOREVER) as a description of Nigma's motivations

 

WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THE RIDDLER.

The Riddler is a guy who's just way too smart for his own good. He is a criminal genius who can come up with absolutely brilliant crime schemes with little or no chance of capture but is compelled to present riddles to Batman and the police and the public.

And it's not that he wants to be caught. He dearly wants to get away with his crimes. But he wants to get away by the skin of his teeth. He wants the cops and Batman and everyone else to know just how tremendous his intellect is. He wants to slip through the law's grasp and leave everyone amazed. The Riddler craves notoriety.

Crime is far more than a way of getting money without working for it to the Riddler. (and God knows he works for it!) Crime is performance art to him.

His puzzles are designed not only to confound the authorities but also a way to mislead and misdirect them. If he's designed them well they should also cause as much havoc in Gotham as is possible. The more people inconvenienced or harmed by the riddles the better.

The more chaos the merrier. This is the equivalent of big boxoffice for the Riddler.

He's the guy who always wants to be right, always wants to know the secret that everyone else is dying to find out.

All of these machinations and fixations are a source of frustration to any hood unwise enough to join one of the Riddler's capers.

And despite the fact that he's a hopeless psycho, sociapath, meance to society and career criminal, he does not deserve to be portrayed by Robin Williams.
