The Riddler taunts The Dark Knight with a string of riddles in The Batman, but what does each of the Riddler’s riddles mean? The Batman is more of a detective story than any previous live-action Batman movie, really exploring that side of DC’s most iconic character. It sees Batman and Lt. Jim Gordon working to catch the Riddler while also unraveling a conspiracy. Beginning with the murder of Gotham’s mayor, the Riddler is targeting anyone with information about an informant who helped the Gotham City Police Department bring down the mob boss, Salvatore Maroni.
