Batfam Panicking That Riddler Recruited What Could Be The Generation Of Villains - Tumblr Posts

OK OK OK, SO, I AM, BY ALL MEANS, VERY MUCH BIASED HERE AS A RIDDLER FAN, OK SO APOLOGIES FOR THIS ODDLY RIDDLER-CENTRIC RAMBLE

BUT LIKE, BESIDES HARLEY, POISON IVY, AND CATWOMAN, AND MAYBE A FEW OTHER ROGUES, I LIKE TO THINK EDDIE BOY HERE, DESPITE BEING IN THE MAIN ROGUE'S GALLERY, TRIES NOT TO INVOLVE MINORS IN HIS SCHEMES FOR THE MOST PART- Er, teens from 15-18 being a gray area for him.

And sure, Riddler hates it when people go mucking up with his schemes, especially if it's plotted for a certain overgrown furry, but I'd like to think he'd be slightly (I say slightly (with a grain of salt) cause man's still got a fragile ego here cause it's Nygma) impressed when he see's it wasn't the cape crusader to have beaten his challenge, it was a whole class who aren't even from Gotham, or even in the state of New Jersey at all! Hell, they even managed to finish it earlier than his expected time for Batman and his crew to solve it!

What I'm trying to get at is Eddie boy here might end up befriending the class from Amity Park. Why? At this point, I'mma just point it to my bias-ness. (If someone can make a possible explanation, THANK YOU) (Also, he's the one of the few rogue's that can go through a redemption arc (WHICH DC TOOK AWAY EVEN THOUGH HE WAS DOING GREAT AS PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR), I want to see the class be the reason he go through a redemption arc at this point, all because they solved his puzzle... Even if it'll be a while)

Also, he's definetly gonna zero in on those inventions, if not cause it's green, but the fact it's original. Though he isn't a main weapons-dealer in Gotham like Penguin or Two-Face, Edward is an inventor (like a few other Gotham's Rogues cause it became part of a necessity for them). He will notice someone invented it by hand rather then mass produce by a company of sorts. The fact that it looks professionally made as well will impress him. Might try to steal one of them and try to reverse-engineer it to see how it's made... Or just try to make a close enough replica just from the initial look he got of them.

I'd like to think he'll take a shine with Danny if he learns it's his parents who made those weapons and that Danny is able to recreate them himself (cause, let's be honest, Danny's must've at least learned how to make one of them just by being Jack and Maddie's son. Same goes for Jazz- who is a Chaperone in this if she isn't already living in Gotham to get her degree).

He'd also take a shine with Tucker just for his affinity for technology, especially hacking and inventing. I'd see him encouraging him and Danny to invent stuff in his own back-handed complimented way if that makes sense.

*Just, overall Riddler interacting with Danny and his class (in a positive light) which leads to a slow redemption arc for him. He's still keeping his branding though*

Short DPXDC Prompts #638

The Riddler thinks this might be his best puzzle yet. Clues are scattered through out the city and everything is put in place. He expected Batman to burst through the door, not a handful of civilians holding his riddles and armed to the teeth with green and white weapons.
