I love how in Justice League Action, there is an episode that is dedicated to a reformed Riddler who assists Green Arrow and Wonder Woman in searching for Batman, and once they find him and the Joker at a Pop Art exhibit, the Joker takes psychological advantage of the Riddler's compulsion to answer a riddle when asked one, highlighting his OCD.

Check out Riddlers Reform from BTAS if you want to see The Riddler turn over a new leaf.
2005 The Batman's Riddler had the most interesting concept. It made sooo much sense in the modern era for The Riddler to be an information hacker. Hacking valuable secret information and being a compulsive trivia king who can't help but provide the means to defeat him if only you are smart enough to beat his riddles. In a live action film he could go from a goofball gimmick to a brilliant information hacker with a streak of the Zodiac Killer in his playtime with the authorities.

Agreed. Bad example clip used. John Glover's voice was intelligent, arrogant but personable at the same time. His pre-revamp costume was perfect.
I’m surprised my favorite is the 2004 Batman Riddler. His voice is just so unsettling. My favorite episode is when he plays 20 questions with Batman to find out his secret identity. He has his hand on the mask and can easily take it off. But he says that is just too easy. Probably the most hardcore gamer of all time honestly

And to think, we wouldn't have the modern version of Riddler, nor really any Riddler, without Frank Gorshin. He put so much energy in that performance, maybe because unlike the other actors he actually liked the comics. The famous catchphrases, the intelligence brought to it. He even came up with the modern Riddler costume, the green suit/coat and derby hat. Before him it was only the spandex bodysuit. We owe a lot to Frank.
Despite what some people might think of him, I actually really like the Riddler... He's one of my top three, still being beat out by Scarecrow (who's my #2 favie), and Bane (My #1 favie). I mean, I like Joker and all, but where he has intelligence, he also has... Crippling insanity. Riddler's crazy, sure, but he's not Joker crazy. He's methodical, thinks about the plan, as well as two to three backup plans in case the first plan fails.

The animated episode with Riddler when he uses virtual reality is just the same episode which was presented by Black mirrors so far. I am really impressed how intellectual the authors of the animated series were to predict so much for the future at the same time make it so “cartoonic”
The Riddler is my all time favorite villain. Especially in Arkham games. I just love doing all the puzzles and stretchin my mind (Even if they’re not that hard). I love how he’s so smart.
Really, this list should’ve included Jim Carrey’s Riddler - he’s a cartoon all unto himself

Unpopular opinion, Robert England’s Riddler is the best Riddler yet, actually , the only one I can take seriously.
From what I’ve seen in from the general public, riddler must have sprayed them all with stupid spray years ago.
So basically the Riddler is the dumbest genius and I love him.

I always thought The New Batman Adventures didn't use John Glover for the Riddler when Warner Bros redid the character designs from BTAS since he only had 1-2 lines throughout the entire series but today I was proven wrong. And yes BTAS Riddler was my 1st childhood idol, so much charisma, smooth as silk.
I think that the Arkham Series' Riddler had to be my favourite, because in each of the four games, you can see how desperate Riddler becomes to just try and outsmart or defeat Batman, and how he just tries so hard to make himself a more "superior intellectual" than the world's greatest detective. So far to the point that it just shows how OBSESSED Riddler is just to try and beat Batman, not in combat, but in wits and intellect. In Arkham Origins, you can see that even before Edward became the Riddler, he used to be completely fine - tacky and smug, sure, but that was just the beginning of Riddler as he takes an interest in Batman and how he always beats his puzzles and riddles. As you follow the storyline of the quadrilogy of the games, you can see that his obsession with trying to outsmart Batman gets out of hand, and he looks and sounds more and more like a complete wreck, and was even mentioned to barely even eat or bathe because all he talked about was trying to beat Batman. That's why I love the Arkham Riddler, because of how he tries so hard to beat Batman, and is too afraid to admit that the Dark Knight is his intellectual superior on an equal, or greater level than him. But in all honestly, the only con I can think of about the Arkham Riddler is the fact that you have to find/solve HUNDREDS of his riddles, which are all a pain in the ads to find or solve. Still, it's at least worth it in the end when you can finally PHYSICALLY fight Riddler in Arkham Knight.
“I have google.” xD Slayed.

Ted Night's riddler sounds goofy and I love it.
8:57 look at that tongue
Ironically, I actually prefer The Batman’s take on the Riddler over any other version. BTAS and Assault on Arkham versions are both really good though. ...REALLY not a fan of the Young Justice version though. Legitimately sounded like Dave Franco was physically incapable of acting.
0:37 That’s so funny how Riddler is Running like that and doing that face😂
The riddler is actually really smart he doesn’t get the same credit as other villains
The riddler is the only villain who puts batman ''world greatest detective'' title to a test that is why he has the most potential to being batmans arch nemisis
In my opinion: I’m not only fond of Rob Paulson and “Weird Al’s” riddler, but I also kinda like Jim Carrey as him to
