Riddler is a good example of “a kid who isn’t embraced by his village will burn it down to feel it’s warmth
This new version of the Riddler is great. His flaw was that he didn't know Bruce very well. His jealous blinded him.
I like this version of the riddler too.
I'll take this version of "The Riddler" over Jim Carrey's version on "Batman Forever" any day.
@@foxmccloud7055 yeah. He's more dangerous and realistic
Sometimes you can feel bad for him. Growing up without parents and family, in addition to being a nobody with people bullying him and consequently creating problems and not helping him in the orphanage. He suffered the equivalent of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker.
Great video you earned a sub!
Alot of people are saying that the whole third act when Riddler floods Gotham is out of place and makes no sense but I dont think so because I have a theory on why he flooded the city
My theory is that perhaps Riddler came to the belief that the corruption in the city is too much and he couldn't take them all out one at a time so he decided to wash away all of the corruption as it would be easier and quicker,and as for why he killed innocents well I guess his mental illness just overtook him to the point where he doesnt care
Absolutely correct, and it hurts how many viewers lacked the comprehension of this. Nashton believed Gotham *itself* failed and hurt him. He sees the whole of Gotham as a toxic, corrupted organism and each and every living being in it merely diseased cells. His flood was, in his eyes, a needed cleansing by fire (or rather, water). Much like how chemotherapy doesn't discriminate between cancer and healthy cells. He wants the entire organism to drown in the terror and hopelessness that flooded his childhood.
Yeah too many folks believe it's easy to conquer their demons but it's not.
This version of the riddler is both creepy and terrifying at the same time.
And yet, pitiable, given the corruption in Gotham.
@@inthemindofavillain yes he is definitely a character you pity too.
I just found this channel, and I thought there was at least going to be like 100,000 views, I'm shocked to see how little there actually is. This is very good though, I subscrived!
Thank you 😄
Yeap, it would seem so.
@@inthemindofavillain i have two suggenstions
Rattlesnake Jake from Rango
Lotso from Toy Story 3
You got yourself a new subscriber. I love this version of Riddler a lot and consider him to be the best out of the others we've seen, although the version of Riddler in Gotham is also good. This Riddler actually won in the end despite the flood setback. I would love for you to do a video on Joan Ferguson from the Australian hit TV series Wentworth set in a Women's prison with gripping, complex, and dark stories. Joan starts off as a Governor running the prison before finding herself as a prisoner in her own prison but that doesn't stop her from the things she carries out. Very intelligent, ruthless, manipulative, and also very sympathetic and complex due to extreme childhood trauma. She arrives in season 2 and stays to the very end.
Thanks! I love this iteration of the Riddler too, works perfectly in the theme Matt Reeves was going for.
I haven’t seen Wentworth before but I’ll check it out!
One of the great things about Batman stories, as compared to that of other superheroes, is that Bruce goes against 'evil monsters' that people actually have to worry about in real life.
Like Solomon Grundy
You offer a very good explanation on a lot of people's criticism with the third act: How the Riddler acts out of character.
Underrated channel. Great analysis.
This reinvention of the Riddler was amazing.
I thought it was interesting seeing Batman confront someone he inadvertently inspired, and how he learned about how his family were not who he thought they’d were before.
this video is so well done !! i definitely expected it to have more likes and views ! this is great and you've earned yourself a new subscriber :]
Thanks Jasper ! Hope you’ll stick around!
I don’t know what Edward was even thinking when he thought Batman was on his side. Most heroes, like Batman, wouldn’t be very accepting if someone came over to them and said: “Hey Batman, I have this group of people that kill other people of this city because they rejected me! Wouldn’t you like to join us?!”
A CHANNEL THAT DEALS WITH VILLIANS - FINALLY!!
if you're into channels that focuses on villains, here's a great one ruclips.net/user/TheVileEye
Dude seriously good stuff! You just got yourself a new subscriber!
I support the Riddler if I were in Riddler's place I would do the same. The only thing I disagree with the Riddler is that he planned to drown the city destroying millions of lives which I won't accept but other than that I would probably be like the Riddler.
He almost killed Alfred, his vendetta wasn't against corruption but people with status and better upbringing then him. Since the world wasn't fair to him he felt that he should do what it takes to make it fair on his own terms.
great video! absolutely love this take on the Riddler
Thanks! Can’t wait to see where the next instalment goes.
I just watched the batman , after finishing the movie I felt the story was pretty average in comparison to the other batman movies , while really liked the cinematography , music and action sequence . After watching your video , the way you unwrapped the story in simplified way , now I am feeling good about the movie . Thank you so much .
This riddler was excellent. He kept up with proving his intellect over batman by taunting him with riddles and arguably knew about the extent of the corruption around the renewal fund. What he lacked was the narcissism and bloated egotism, which was replaced with a sense of "misguided" righteousness and anyone who didn't believe him was beneathe him. Being an orphan and growing up in the ophanage gave him the inferiority complex and resentment along with knowledge of the corruption drove him to taunt those he saw as beneath him. This riddler was far more sadistic than other versions wide of the mark. Arguably the riddlers plan succeeded, forcing Bruce to "question" his old man's involvement.
This channel is a perfect companion piece to The Vile Eye. Great job.
Thanks!
Great video!
Scarecrow/Jonathon Crane
Awesome video
Do President Coin from hunger games
I haven't actually watched The Batman 2022 yet, but I have researched it, and at the moment I think this is a good observation.
On of the benefits of working within the system, in spite of deficiencies in the system, it sets parameters. Reduces the chance of getting the wrong person. Doesn't eliminate the chance of an innocent being punished, but reduces.
Incidentally, this is a point for Batman, Superman, Spiderman, etc as well.
My theory is that Riddler always had some mental problems and an inner darkness, but like Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker and more importantly the Riddler in the comics, his childhood abuse just stamped out whatever goodness he could have had
Sadly true.
he's my little poor meow meow
Ln the mind of a villain make a video on fire Ward ozai from Avatar The last Airbender please 🥺 ?
Your underated! New sub!
We need episodes for Dark Knight's Bane and Joker. Also, incredible list of villains: Hans Landa, Voldemort, Agent Smith, Norman Bates, Patrick Bateman, Hannibal Lector, Thanos, Amon Goeth, Max Cady, Otto Octavius, and Alex Delarge.
Is there anyone that Batman hasn't ticked off and ended up on Batman's Rogues Gallery?
Lowkey I understood riddlers anger in this movie…rough childhoods and people not giving a damn for so long breaks a person
great video💯🔥
🔥
The Riddler may be a psychopathic murder but had an awful orphan up bringing. False promises and corrupt politicians only made it worse. His character was intriguing and had a great costume. I sympathize and even relate to him a little bit.
When I first saw this film I thought the Riddler’s first victim was officer John Blake.
The Riddler looks like The Screenslaver from Incredibles 2 and Mysterio from Spider Man : Far From Home
YOO GREAT VIDEO :D
Thanks!
call me crazy, but his apartment was at like the top floor of that building, or at least high af. I think he would've been fine without getting himself incarcerated.
You have potential.It is shamefull that you dont have many subs.
The Riddler was the good guy.
please cover Vecna/Henry Creal/#1 from Stranger Things
Riddle me this riddle me that
Sephiroth please
Liked the video overall but it's funny when you point out a few examples of innocent people the riddler targeted when his whole plan was to eventuate in the entire city being flooded, which would doubtlessly kill dozens or hundreds of innocent people
How I see Robin Williams's Riddler could've been like that had he played Riddler instead of Jim Carrey
Just because you’re a vigilante doesn’t mean you’re a hero
I think edward suspected bruce is batman
Tbh I'm kind simillar to the Riddler
honestly, if it wasn't for our love for batman we'd be cheering the villains from joker to bane to the riddler. joker anhiliated the mob and eliminated them, bane, like the riddler represent every human that is not fed will a silver spoon. they all want to get rid of the corrupt and let the poeple rule. Joker won 100% right and won, he proved his point and more, he did what batman's job. Batman attacks petty criminals while the Joker destroyed the root of all the problems, the mob and the DA, bane was more 'socialist' but the revolution has many parallels with the french revolution, when you him knitting that's exactly taken from the 'kangoroo' trials and a woman would knit the name of each one who got beheaded. if batman was alive he would be elon musk, but more dangerous lol he doesn't see the big picture he just attacks petty criminals while the joker literally erased the mob, the chinese connection, the district attorney, and all the corrupt people running Gotham. I think if I were alive i would fight with the Joker til every 1 percenter is erased including batman
I still think that he's not the best Riddler. He's a great villain and a great interpretation, but the Riddler is eccentric and loves putting on a show, even to his own detriment. This Riddler just didn't do it for some of us
That’s fair, it was a wide deviation from the usual traits.
He sorta did out on a show, with his lil Twitch streams, but he did lack the eccentric personality. I'm hoping, if The Batman 2 is greenlit, that personality will come through with The Joker giving him more self-confidence. This one seemed more like an origin story
how did he lack the eccentric personality? did you notice the twisted humored things he was saying and the puzzles he was leaving? thumb drive? "don't lose your head mr colsen" its not like paul danos riddler lacked riddlers twisted eccentric personality you have just seemed to forget about it
@@geordiemc4571 Thank you ! I just feel like people can only read on surface and don't see common points between two adaptation of the same character if they are not copy paste.
do jack Nicholson joker from batman 1989 next
That was my first video actually
I am going to tell on twitch my plan to ruin this city, I am the smartest
Michael reeves
i think hes silly and attractive and he was simply in a bad mood
for real
This video doesn't even mention his incel army
A lame idea for a villain analysis could be Professor Gerald Lambeau from Good Will Hunting.
Kindof proves that Matt Reeves doesn't know much about the riddler if he calls him edward nashtin. His name is Edward NIGMA in the comics. Great movie but proof that matt Reeves has never read a dc comic.
I didn’t expect that too actually. I initially thought Nashton might be a cover name but they never went there.
He also called Edward Nashton in some comics.
it's because in the comics his birth name was nashton, and he changed it to nygma later on. this movie is the origins of the riddler, so he is starting off and hasn't changed it yet
@@theshape4309 Good point.
The new Riddler was an incel.
No, he wasn't. He was a murderous vigilante.
Awful villain. Awful characterization.
