Riddler quotes from The Batman (2004)

Ellen Yin

Riddler, you're a maniac!

Riddler

I prefer the term "Brainiac".

Joker

I proclaim this street "Rictus Row"!

Penguin

It's my 'hood, and it's "Penguinsburg"!

Riddler

I prefer the ring of "Enigma Avenue".

Penguin

Who are you?

Riddler

Call me... the Riddler.

Joker

"Riddler"? You stealing my shtick?!

Riddler

I do riddles. I don't tell jokes.

Penguin

Well, Gotham ain't big enough for the two of us, skinny, let alone three!

Riddler

Precisely why I propose we settle this with a wager.

Joker

What's the game?

Riddler

The first to capture and unmask our greatest common foe wins Gotham.

Joker

No matter who wins...

Penguin

The biggest loser is the Batman.

Riddler

You and me, work together? I'm into riddles, not jokes. Besides, I've ruined Gorman, and that's as good a note as any to go out on.

Batman

Then you're sure it was Gorman who sabotaged you?

Riddler

Even you, Batman, could have puzzled together a mystery this obvious.

Batman

Yeah, obvious. I guess I just figured with a riddle, the most obvious answer is rarely the right one.

Riddler

Another late night in the lab, Julie?

E-- Edward?

Riddler

Oh, you remember me. I'm touched.

Ah, what are you doing here?

Riddler

There's a riddle I'm having trouble solving. You were always so good at them, maybe you can help.

The $64,000 question? [smiles coldly] Why did I sabotage our project? Come on, Edward, it's not that hard.

Riddler

[grabs her, clearly frustrated and hurt] I thought you understood me!

I understood you were a psychopath. One that was going to ruin any chance for success.

Riddler

And so you got rid of me. Very smart. But I think we can make you smarter yet. [his henchmen seize Julie] Our little external bio hard-drives for the brain were only intended to be used one at a time. Let's see what happens when we use them all together! [attaches several all over Julie's face]

No, Edward! What are you doing?!

Robin

I know, I know! He's about to get his butt kicked, am I right?
