The Batman's Riddler was the perfect villain for a more detective heavy Batman movie, his riddles are perfect for a Zodiac / Se7en inspired film.

What I love about what The Batman did for Riddler is that they didn’t treat him like a joke. The Arkham games did him good but could’ve been better and Gotham’s interpretation of Ed was done in a mix of Seriousness and Jokes which was done fine but almost every adaptation of the character has been done as a Joke. The Batman made him a force to be reckoned with and he was actually convincing as a criminal in this new movie just like the games and Gotham. I’d say the Riddler was finally done justice in this film but Jim Carrey will always have the nostalgia

The first shot of The Riddler when he's standing in the darkness and the light is reflecting off his glasses made him look like a straight up monster. I even heard a guy sitting in front of me say to his friend "That's f**kin scary." Paul Dano Riddler was amazing

[janb]

I think Dano was probably my favorite part of the Batman. He was just way scarier than I expected.

[Zhello]

The REAL question is how many Riddler Trophies did either of them leave behind for Bats to find? 🤔

Riddler in Batman Forever: hilarious and over the top

Riddler in THE BATMAN: Terrifying and murderous

[Westerexican]

Jim Carey of course gave a very comedic and silly take on the character. Probably one that’s more true to the earlier comics. And he practically carried that movie. Danos riddler however felt more modern and terrifying and more driven with a goal of destruction.

[davidricardoybarrafernande]

There is a misunderstanding of a point in the movie: The Riddler never knew that Batman is Bruce Wayne. (I don't have to explain details, there are already various channels that explain that, and if you pay attention to the movie you realize that he never knew the identity of batman).

[juanoro-barcenas]

Paul Dano's Riddler felt like something out of Se7en and Saw. That's how dark and compelling his character is.

[enclavehere.]

Just saw the Batman today. I swear, when Riddler yelled at the DA over the phone I was horrified. Paul Dano was terrifying and I love it

[DialgaMarine]

Jim Carey always seemed like he would’ve been much better casted as Joker. His version of Riddler was a little too comical and zany, like he was more about jokes than using riddles to stump others.

[Eyes-Scream]

Saw the movie yesterday and I was really blown by Paul Dano's performance...
He really did a great job! The movie turned out to be a psychological horror/thriller shifting to action. All people in theaters are terrified everytime the Riddler shows. Paul Dano's smile when he was arrested is so bizarre which is very hunting...
I love Jim Carrey but Paul Dano was born to play as the Riddler. I want to see him with Joaquin Phoenix Joker because they have the same vibes...

Batman Forever Riddle: Kid friendly and funny riddle jokes.

The Batman Riddle: Dark, answer question, smart to unmasked the question.

[MrJcdelete]

The way the 4 riddles revealed his identity in Batman Forever was always brilliant

[henri]

Paul Dano had a amazing performance in The Batman

[jessepushor]

I personally liked Jim carry he was a unique choice and just has that pure 90s vibes but they both are great in there own ways

[christianaguilar]

Jim carrey is honestly a really good actor specially in dramatic roles. He needed a better direction and vision.

[stevenreadicker]

I've always believed Carey got way too ouch hate for his Riddler. The movie had more than it's fair share of problems, but Jim Carey wasn't one of them.

[ckotcher]

I love Jim Carrey but let’s just give this to Paul Dano and call it a day.
