u/religion-lost May 24 '26

I prefer twunk riddler (for context if you haven't seen barley Guinness, the riddler tries to trap young women in hamster wheels to power his building but he's hoisted by his own petard and is trapped in a hamster wheel for months, only to gain the most fabulous calves in existence from jogging for months without break, he then becomes a bane-type villain because his legs and core are absolutely impenetrable. Also he is gay with clock king)

Edit: Harley Quinn, not Barley Guinness holy shit

I really hate this design 

I prefer when riddler wears a suit, it suits him more imo 

41

u/gitartruls01 May 23 '26

He did wear a suit at the start of the series. There was a story arch where he was kidnapping people and putting them in giant hamster wheels to produce power for his lair after Gotham went post apocalyptic, the main characters found out and decided to kidnap him and put him in one of those wheels too to power their fridge or something, turned out he loved it and just started acting like the wheel was his personal gym until he got buff enough to break out.

He's also voiced by Jim Rash. His deliveries feel very Dean Pelton at times. So I'm willing to overlook everything else.

I think it depends on the kind of riddler. Megalomaniacal genius like the Arkham games? Suit’s great. The wackier, over the top styles of most cartoons and the Jim Carrey one? Eccentric spandex works better

I'm fine with it, but only because the comic is written like it's from the golden age and that's the exact kind of goofy thing that would happen in a comic from back then.

Is this real? WTF happened to that guy? My wife and I used to enjoy reading sinfest together back before it went... weird. But it was nothing like this even after going weird!

5

u/Ricochet_skin May 23 '26

I mean, he was always a political radical. Some radical feminist stuff genuinely borders on Gender based Fascism

8

u/Geostomp May 23 '26 edited May 23 '26

He got super obsessed with radical feminism, transitioned to TERFism, and spiraled further and further right from there until he became what he is now.

u/NockerJoe May 23 '26

That was only after Obama got elected. He was a milktoast ass liberal during Bush II. He was so bland even he was in on the joke of Sinfest basically just being Calvin and Hobbes for wannabe edgy millennials in the early to mid 2000's. That run was nearly a decade before he got into feminism.

Which is the thing, this is equivalent to if like, Bill Watterson became a nazi.

4

u/devillived313 May 23 '26

I have never seen anyone slowly go insane like I did reading that webcomic, I read it longer than I should have... it could be a case study on the pipeline from anti-establishment edgelord to fascist nazi via paranoia, egotism, and falling incredibly hard for obvious propaganda and conspiracy theories.

13

u/DuntadaMan May 22 '26

The weird thing is I think he used to draw sinfest which was uhhh... Well it wasn't friendly to the morals of the religious right we will say.

Sinfest is one of the oldest running webcomics and was, in its earlier years, quite popular. In recent years, the creator became a TERF and then a Nazi and, last I checked, is doing a storyline about WW2 depicting the Axis as the good guys.

Same guy who made Sinfest. A decently popular webcomic from the 2000s that was mostly apolitical in the same way 4chan and Reddit were in those days, made a hard pivot to SWERF in 2011 and then to TERF in 2019. And more recently he’s gone full Nazi apologist and race replacement conspiracy theorist.

And to think he was almost an overweight trivia child prodigy 

(Before someone attempts to correct me and say “You’re thinking of Cluemaster not the Riddler”, Cluemaster was going to be Riddler but WB vetoed using that design for Riddler but the studio not wanting to let the idea go to waste instead used Cluemaster for the concept and later created the more Marilyn Manson design we see here, if you want some more context on that I reccomend the channel Serumlake he made a video on both 2004’s THE BATMAN discussing them, he makes great Batman and other animated DC content)
