Couldn’t draw Oswald without Edward — here’s some 1966 Riddler fanart! 💚❔

So going back on my "What if Robin and the Riddler had to team up because Batman was incapacitated?" bullshit again. But since the original image that inspired it was the one of Riddler and Molly (in disguise as Robin) wearing helmets in the car, I am now envisioning this:

Riddler: *Giddily climbing into the driver's side of the vehicle*

Robin: "...Are you sure you should be the one driving?"

Riddler: "Of course. You don't have a license, do you, Boy Wonder?"

Robin: "I have a learner's permit."

Riddler: *triumphantly raising a finger.*

Riddler: "Ah, but you do not have a licensed driver in the car, and unlike you, I have no qualms about breaking the law!"

Robin: *snaps fingers in annoyance*

Robin: "Holy misdemeanor!"

Just wanted to say I loooove that you gave Gorshin!Riddler some love in your art - stumbled across it recently and it's SO fun. Frank Gorshin's Riddler is my all-time favourite, and it's just so lovely to see him getting a little bit of recognition since he's surprisingly underrated on this app, lol

But yeah, love your artstyle!

You're absolutely right! Dano's my darling, but his roots can be traced back all the way to this guy! He's a trendsetter and we love'im around here :3

D5 for Riddler?

I couldn't decide whether to do 60s Riddler or 2004 Riddler, so I did one of each, since the pose matches Gorshin Riddler's gremlin energy, but I am pretty sure 2004 Riddler actually just stands Like That sometimes. Also I gave him black nail polish, since I feel like he would wear it, and also because the guy goes through a lot of crap throughout the series.

We would not have modern Riddler without Frank Gorshin's portrayal in the 1966 TV show. You can thank him for the suit too. There was another ensemble featured in the second episode of the first season, "Smack in the middle." I think it's a fun look, and I am sad this was its only appearance.

I really enjoy how Gorshin moves and talks while he plays this role. It has a concentrated manic energy I really adore.

Quarter-Finals, Match 2!

In his second appearance, the Joker would rig school vending machines to give out free money to those who used them, hoping to drive up the dropout rate and thus take advantage of the larger hiring pool. This episode would also see some downplayed appearances of some gags that would later become Joker staples, such as a boutenniere which sprayed sneezing powder (acid in later adaptations) and the shocking joybuzzers, although their voltage wouldn’t be as dangerous as in later versions. This episode could also be argued to imply that while this Joker was generally not as lethal as his successors, he definitely wasn’t a force to be trifled with.

The Riddler’s third TV series appearance would show him smuggling a rare universal wax solvent in order to commit capers in low-volume areas where an explosion would be ill-advised, or in situations where an explosive might damage the loot. If you’ve heard him quoted as saying, “Crime is no fun without riddles. I’ll have you know that’s the main reason I took up this crime game,” this is the episode where he said that. This was also one of his more vocal episodes, with the Riddler loudly cheering upon obtaining the riddle book, and just playing with words and vocal tone in general.
