Am I the only one that thinks this Riddler kinda sucks? No, I don't like either. I'm willing to wait and see how it looks in the show before I pass judgement.

[glow=red,2,300] It makes the Riddler look like a threat especially to all the homophobics out there. [/glow] Are you suggesting that queer guys look like that? Most I know are pretty buff. Anyway I'm surprised (almost) everyone's complaining about the Riddler's new appearance. I really hated what they did to the Joker but this Riddler finally has an edge. IMO all BTAS Riddler were totally boring at best, I never got the deal what the deal about some jobless guy with the obsession of riddles was.

First off, someone needs to feed that Riddler a sandwich. Or ten. I'm still getting used to the design, but my first reaction (after thinking he needed to eat a bit more) was that he has a definite creepy feel that the character has always lacked. Not sure it's a good thing (my favorite is still the jacket, tie, and bowler of TAS), but it isn't a terrible thing, either. The gothy, 'gender ambiguity' he has going on makes him a bit more enigmatic. You know, like he's a riddle himself. I don't know why so many gothbois go for that androgynous look, but I personally blame Anne Rice. Let's hope once the Batman has him securely locked in Arkham, the doctors force feed him for a while. He can keep the long hair, but only if he washes it regularly!

Thanks for the exclusive Matt, I always look forward to these "sneak peeks" and everything. The new look is....interesting. It is definitely a different take, and although I'm not sure if it is my overall favorite look for the Riddler, I do kind of like that the Rogue's gallery is getting some different looks for "The Batman". I can appreciate the updates they have made to the characters to make it a little more "modern", and its nice to see another villain's first appearance. Thanks again for the exclusive Matt.

Whoa. . . creepy!
Interesting re-design. I can't wait to see him in action.
(Now, all they have to do is add Two-Face & Ivy and put Scarecrow back and I'm totally happy!)

I aways liked the intelligent look myself, but I certainly wouldn't say this looks intelligent at all for a design. aint that the truth

Yay They messed up yet another Batman character. Im just glad Harley isnt in the series so they cant mess her up me too although ive gotten used to the new joker i wouldnt like to see a new harley as she was an original timm creation and less likely to be as moldable as the others since she made her debut in animation

Yay They messed up yet another Batman character. How can you say that when you haven't seen him in action? Does the design of the character really mean that much to you? I'll admit, I was not impressed with the initial pic of Manbat - I was willing to give it a chance and suprisingly enough, I think this version is superior to the BTAS version. I'm looking forward to seeing the Riddler in action - if he retains his core essence, yet is tweeked just slightly, like the other characters in this series, I'll be very pleased!

I mean is this villain male or female? kinda hard to tell...A riddle in itself..brillliant lol Actually I ALWAYS hated the Riddler and thought he was way too boring. This version however looks very creepy and interesting, that's the first drastic change I do like. So....do you like it or not?

How can you say that when you haven't seen him in action? Does the design of the character really mean that much to you? well, the design IS the most important part, specially for a cartoon, and for a character that's been out there for 60 yrs. I know, they need modernization, but for hardcore batman purists like me, its just...not good. man bat was fricking awesome, catwoman was cool, the penguin's cool, mr. freeze is ok, the scarface is ok, the scarecrow was AWESOME, but this guy...c'mon ppl! look at him!!He's a girlman thing! its ugly! nope...it just wont grow on me...now, if they suddenly said "were gonna put the scarecrow back on the show!", that would make me really happy, I mean, i couldn't even sleep for two days just thinking about this riddler! Every time think about it I want to cry. Its THAT important. now, i really hope two face doesn't have two faces or look like this mafia gangsta dude like scarface does.(promise, this IS my last rant for the yr, im just...dissapointed, like with the batmobile) *in uncle voice* one more thing! where's charaxes? if they are coming up with all these monstrous dudes, why not make a good charaxes out of all this?

I'm glad there's no Two-Face yet, I bet he would end up having two heads. I hope this does not come true, I would HATE it if it comes to be, I want Two-Face to look like the comics eventhough this is supposed to be like a new revamp. I just want him to be as traditional as possible.

look like this mafia gangsta dude like scarface does Scarface is supposed to be a "mafia gangsta dude." That's his "gimmick" see? He's not just called Scarface because of the cut on his face... sheesh. where's charaxes? if they are coming up with all these monstrous dudes, why not make a good charaxes out of all this? For those who (like me) aren't familiar with the name "Charaxes" it appears this is the latest incarnation of Killer Moth. Thanks to the DC Who's Who database: Using the alias Cameron Van Cleer, Drury Walker ran a protection racket, whereby the criminal element of Gotham City handed over good money so that he would protect them from the attention of the police and the Batman. To that end he used the alias Killer Moth, but he was soon apprehended by Batgirl on her first outing as a hero. He then tried numerous criminal schemes, but was always foiled by one of Gotham's protectors. Following a deal with the devil Neron, Killer Moth was transformed into Charaxes, a huge insect-like creature which has faced Robin and Starfire, among others. His mind is barely human now, and he has developed some disgusting insect tendencies, making him a brutally dangerous foe. www.dcuguide.com/MiniWho/Ce.phpI'm pretty happy we're getting a Firefly personally. Killer Moth made an appearance on Teen Titans - I doubt that we will see him on The Batman anytime soon.

although i do not care for the design of the new riddler i agree with reideen1313 that the core character is far more important because if he is the riddler we know and love(which i have to say its hard to see him being with the goth look and all) his look and design will be less important and he will eventually grow on MOST of the naysayers including myself.now i am not saying they shudnt tweak his character a little as they have done with the others because they have shown that it can work that way but they shoudnt have his demeanour match his look EXACTLY.and i will buy the action figure as its different and will make up the rogues gallery which i buy all of anyway in every bat collection i have

Marilyn Manson wants his identity back. Weren't these villians all REAL people at one time in their lives? At least let them look like they TEXT have been.

He's not just called Scarface because of the cut on his face... sheesh. yes, but I want him to look like and old style gangsta, not a "new, hip" kind of gangsta...see? a old 30s or 20s or godfather kind of gangsta, like he's meant to be...of course, no piano this time, ehehehe. [shadow=red,left,300]Crow - Please don't use racial slang[/shadow] Dino_it wasn't supposed to be racial, that is how they call them here, and I do agree, it is racial, but that is how they call them here, I apologize for my mistake

Dont forget that Robert Englund (aka most famously Freddy Krueger) is the voice for the riddler.

I'm confused. Do you like the design, or not? The reason I ask is, earlier in this thread you said: So....do you like it or not? The Riddler's design I *do* like. But that's probably because I have never been a fan of the Riddler so I don't mind if they shift away from his traditional looks. What they did to the Joker is a crime though - however the design fits with the new interpretation of the character. All I'm saying is that they TOOK a lot of liberty by reinventing the characters so I wouldn't be too surprised if Two-Face ends up being a guy with two heads. Mark my words. *lol*

[shadow=purple,left,300]I bet if Riddler's long hair was missing, there would be less opposition to this design...
As for Scarface, lighten up. He hasn't changed that much... not as drastically as this, anyway. [/shadow]
