i love how batman is holding a lil riddle 🤭

i like to think that the Arkham rec room has little busy work activities for the patients. most of them you could find in an elementary school until Riddler was admitted, then they had to start providing calculus and trig worksheets lol

idk what im doing

I found some old sketches of Riddler and his outfits that I made before I did these 2 illustrations (1 & 2) and I thought to render them. The quality is not ideal, but still

i kinda like the green and latex together and I think he wouldn't just repeat an outfit, what a guy

Pov: Scarecrow sees one of his previous students

Student: Hey teacher you really never scared me

Scarecrow:

(I made that a year ago)

Reference:

[gothamite-rambler]

Batman (on the phone): Hello?

Scientology member: Hello, this is the Church of Scientology. Would you like to learn more about our services and benefits?

Batman: Take me off the call list.

Scientology member: We could… But would you like to make a donation? We have many perks for our esteemed members.

Batman: No! Put me on the do not call list! Immediately!

Scientology member: We have many advantages for those who support our organization. Exclusive events, personalized guidance-

Batman: I'm not even religious, and I have no interest in being part of a legalized cult! Just take me off the list!

Batman ended the call angrily and blocked the number for the tenth time. Red Hood and Nightwing watched him while the Riddler waited for the call to end. He stepped a side complaining.

Batman: Why do scientologists have so many numbers! Damn it!

Riddler: Scientology? How did he even get wrapped up in that?

Red Hood: I signed him up once, and then one of the Robins did the same.

Riddler: Is that the "not a total cult" that Tom Cruise is in?

Nightwing: Yes.

Riddler chuckled, clearly amused by the sight of Batman enduring this. Nightwing and Red Hood joined in the laughter while Batman groaned, heading toward the Batmobile to grab another phone.

So... I gave Jonathan a child.

Between my last post and this one, I've been having a field day while indulging in the marvelous world of self inserts. Meet our little boy Hugo. Also, consider this an art dump.

PS. Click on the image descriptions for better reading of the speech bubbles (my handwriting is really bad and rushed).

Father-son bonding time after commiting crimes together.

Yikes, those genes are strong, Crane.

Had a silly thought about these next two sketches.

While growing up, Hugo has been somehow taken under the rogues wings because of his father, so he gets occasional gifts mailed during important dates. Over here we have Ed congratulating a recent graduated Hugo for his hard work... In case you don't know what I'm referring to on the letter, here's a clip

Believe it or not, but Oswald becomes his godfather. 🤣

Alright, since it’s no longer 2 in the morning and my head’s a bit clearer, I present to you:

Liminal Riddler

So, not everyone in the DC fandom knows about this, and I’d bet that even less people in the Phandom do, but at one point, the Riddler had cancer. Had, past-tense, because he cured it. With the Lazarus pits.

And yeah, not everyone who gets dipped in the pits has to be liminal, but one would assume that the sudden replacement of a large number of malignant cells throughout the body is gonna do something.

The Riddler already acts quite a lot like a DP ghost in some interpretations anyways. He’s got a strict gimmick that he genuinely can’t part ways with, he’s campy and fun, he’s incredibly violent, etc.

Also, the way that he would react to this whole thing would be funny as hell.

Do I think the Riddler would really care if the GiW was after him? No. This is Gotham, the government is constantly going after him anyways.

Do I think he would care if Danny was being hunted down by the same people, and his parents were involved? Somewhat. He probably wouldn’t care about Danny specifically, at least not right away, but a young boy running terrified from his own parents would definitely bring back some bad memories, and he would probably give him a hand (if for no other reason than to get back to plotting crimes instead of dealing with childhood trauma).

Do I think the Riddler, whose entire thing is being smarter than everyone else, would care if the GiW somehow let slip that they thought he didn’t have human intelligence? That they believed him to be nothing but an echo of human life?

It’s not even a question. He would be the most insufferable person in Gotham within the hour. Genuinely nothing could stop him, especially not if Danny was helping jailbreak him from Arkham every time he got caught.

Almost every major road is closed. Every warehouse on the Docks is on fire. Somehow, they managed to color the clouds and smog a bright green.

The natives of Gotham would probably get those anti-ghost laws and acts overturned faster than the Justice League, if only to make the Riddler stop. His traps and games aren’t even lethal at this point (due to Danny’s insistence), but they’re so genuinely annoying that the general population is about to beat the GiW agents to death themselves just to get the Riddler to quit it already.

Also, I think that during this whirl of chaos, the Riddler would become quite fond of Danny.

He’s a bright young boy who’s very fond of wordplay, and inventive enough to keep up with him. Aside from the inevitable crisis of “oh god I’m becoming the bat,” he’d probably be happy to take on Danny as his protégé. Even if the boy won’t let him kill anyone (rude), he’s a terrifying getaway driver and can turn the both of them invisible and intangible, making Arkham escapes a breeze.

Hell, the Riddler would probably be willing to make a false identity for the two of them, just so he could get the boy proper schooling.

(Yes, he thinks that the entire education system is a sham and that he could do much better, but Danny wants to go into aerospace engineering, and the Riddler isn’t one to squander someone’s interest in learning.)

(Also, Echo and Query would find the whole thing hilarious)
