Just give Batman a bunch of baby puzzles, slowly work up the difficulty, and bore him to death.

> bore him to death.
Like, with a drill?
Nathan Reyes
Riddler's too dramatic for that.
Adam James
Batman rarely plays along till the end. He eventually breaks out and wrecks Riddler. Giving him as much time as possible is just playing to Batman's strengths.
Kayden Rogers
Has Batman ever been even a little bit stumped by one of his riddles? He usually seems to just figure it out in seconds.
Julian Gutierrez
The Riddler's a hard villain to write. Timm and co said that they had about a dozen unused Riddler stories because they were either too stupid or two ridiculously complex.
Wyatt Mitchell
The Riddler would die of boredom way sooner before Batman. Riddler challenges Batman specifically because he wants to stimulate his own mind, too. He doesn't do it 100% to humiliate and take down Batman.
There was a point when Riddler turned away crime but he still really wanted to play mind games with Batman because he was so bored of living a normal Joe life.
Christopher Sanders
Ryder Roberts
And then fast forward a few pages.
Adam Murphy
Fair enough. He probably wouldn't be able to resist throwing a curve ball if he had started.
Jeremiah Thomas
Weren't there only two or three episodes where he was the villain in BTAS?
Easton Moore
Fucks sake, Batman. Just play the damn game.
If a weekly chess game with a former supervillain is all it takes to keep him from returning to a life of supercrime and endangering the city, just put your pants up and fucking do it you big baby.
Noah Rodriguez
>not enjoying a nice fresh surf and turf dinner for free
Batman is too fucking rich
Leo Martin
>Dumbing yourself down to peasant food when you can have lobster bisque and beef wellington instead
Jayden Lopez
I wonder if the Bat-Family that doesn't live with him (Babs, Steph, Jason etc.) eat peasant food?
Bentley Scott
This is the same man who refuses to just hire Freeze and fund his research into saving his wife. The same man who doesn't just open a film studio for Clayface to act in everything forever. Batman doesn't want to actually help these people, he just wants to hurt people.
Tyler Rodriguez
There’s an issue of Batman Adventures where Riddler is mopey that Batman always figures out his riddles but his henchmen convince him to try one more time. Batman ends up catching Riddler by pure happenstance cause some other criminals that he went after were robbing the same place Riddler was, and he admits he didn’t solve the riddle
Hudson Wright
>Eddie rented out an office for $20,000 so he and Batman can have dinner and "spend some time together"
How the fuck have people not shipped them yet. We got an entire fandom dedicated to Johnny Bravo and Samurai Jack because of a single commercial.
Jace Moore
>catering to convicted criminals after they’ve already stolen or murdered or attempted murder
Adrian Bell
They're mentally ill, it's society's fault.
Eli Harris
By definition they're not, Batman writers just use an asylum as a convenient way to not kill off his popular rogues gallery.
Juan Bennett
If your goal is to keep innocent people from being hurt, the way Batman is doing things objectively doesn't work. Whether or not giving the villains a happier life is "fair" or not, if it saves the lives of Gotham's citizens it is worth swallowing your pride.
If you aren't going to rehabilitate them and you are not going to kill them, just fucking remove their motivation to want to do crime in the first place.
Connor Nelson
Honestly, I feel early-btas batman would please eddie with a dinner and a game every two saturdays, but he got really cranky as the series went on.
Some would call it flanderization but I think it does have sense that Bruce got tired of gotham bullshit
Henry Lee
I bet i could beat Riddler's ass in a fist fight. We all here probably could
Jeremiah Edwards
Indulging in Riddler's games isn't going to make him stop. It might just make it worse. Riddler's a guy who can never be satisfied or purposely deludes himself to feel superior. He's almost destined to be unhappy.
Dylan Walker
Thanks
Landon Cooper
>implying the fist fight won't turn out to be an elaborate trap set up just in case this exact thing happened
Jackson Smith
You'd have to solve all his riddles to find him first!
Jordan Russell
Riddler seems to put up a hell of a fight in Telltale's game.
Nolan Jackson
He kind of died like a wimp at the end though.
Oliver Jones
>This is the same man who refuses to just hire Freeze and fund his research into saving his wife
just like edgar in the hole, anybody in the tube is Freeze's "wife"
> The same man who doesn't just open a film studio for Clayface to act in everything forever.
Actually this one I agree with. Why Clayface hasn't put SFX and CG studios out of business is beyond me when he can become a literal T-Rex
