The Riddler appears as a cameo in Injustice: Gods Among Us (2013). He is one of Batman's nemesis.


Biography[]

A former low-level accountant, The Riddler is an enemy of Batman whose crimes revolve around his obsession with riddles. His psychosis results from a deep inner need to prove that he is smarter than others, which causes him to leave challenging clues behind in otherwise perfect crimes. This has lead to him being repeatedly imprisoned in Arkham Asylum. Despite this obvious flaw, he is an extremely intelligent criminal mastermind. He has been associated with the Legion of Doom and the Secret Society of Supervillains

Injustice Comic[]

Year One[]

When the Justice League come to remove the patients of Arkham, only to be resisted by Batman, the Riddler watches the heroes argue and witnessing Victor Zsasz and Mad Hatter relocation from the Asylum. He begins to make a riddle but Cyborg orders him to be silent. Cyborg next plans to remove him but is stopped by Batman when he activates a virus he had uploaded into Cyborg. Riddler is freed by Harley Quinn alongside all the other inmates to attack the heroes.

The Riddler is seen about to crush Batman's head with a large rock but hesitates as he tries to think of a riddle to say before committing the act, allowing Green Arrow to knock him out with a boxing glove arrow. Riddler is furiously beaten down by Robin, right before Robin accidentally kills Nightwing.

Year Four[]

Injustice: Gods Among Us[]

The Riddler appears in the Arkham Asylum stage. He's in the recreation area with other Gotham villains and beats the player/opponent up if they're thrown into the room.  

He is also in S.T.A.R. Labs Missions 142 and 152.

Powers and Abilities[]

The Riddler's most distinguished and strongest power is his mind. He is one of Batman's most intelligent villains, and while not a physical threat or having any superpowers, he is a supreme puzzle solver and criminal mastermind. He has developed many mind games and manipulations, as he likes to call them "riddles". His cane also carries a variety of tricks, such as a security bypass and electrical bypass. In addition, he is an expert detective and an adept escapologist.

Appearance[]

The Riddler has brown hair and glasses and wears the outfit he wore in Batman: Arkham City (2011); a green jacket and pants over a white shirt with a purple tie; the suit and tie all have question mark insignias. He wears a green bowler hat with the question mark symbol and carries a question mark themed cane.

In the Injustice Comics, Riddler dons a slightly different outfit: While he still wears his trademark green suit with a white shirt and a purple tie and hat along with his question mark cane, Riddler wore white gloves, a green mask, and has black hair instead.
