I really liked the Justice league Action that had him be detective and find the Joker.
Do you think Riddler should be officially retired and all future incarnations of him should just be Detective Nigma...

But Nygma doesn't solve problems. He creates problems. That's his entire shtick.
He's the "Riddler", not the fucking "Resolver".
Ryder Campbell
The PI angle was a good progression but angling him towards being a hero was too much. They should have kept him amoral, working as an investigator for good and bad like a paparazzo.
Robert Davis
Could have him do the old Green Hornet approach where he hires out his skills but make it more of a case by case basis whether helps the bad or screws with them.
Christopher Phillips
He does work best as a P.I. or a reformed villain.
He's not quite as smart as Batman, and his attitude will stop him from becoming a real success.
But his pension to get himself knee-deep in shit will make for tons of fun stories.

>Do you think Riddler should be officially retired and all future incarnations of him should just be Detective Nigma, an ex-villain who is now a detective?
You mean like this?
Ayden Mitchell
I think any villain that isn't an irredeemable arch-villain (Joker), should eventually be either rehabilitated into being neutral or heroic over time to at least give the impression the hero is having some sort of effect on them. I understand the need to have a rogue's gallery, but it kind of makes it seem that nothing the hero does matters.

Yes because it wouldn't be only good for riddler character development, but for Bruce too. Years of people shitting on him for not killing his criminals finally pays back with one of them getting rehabilitated, and with really good results because Riddler it's a pretty good adition for the good guys.
Juan Martinez
It would make more sense if he were recruited by someone like Checkmate for counter-intel.
Camden Long
Yes, but instead of being just one version of the character it becomes the definitive version. Kind of like how Harley Quinn has slowly shifted away from being Joker's girlfriend to independent villain with a bad ex-boyfriend as the go-to version of the character.
