QUESTION: "When you do not know what I am, I am something.
But when you know what I am, I am nothing. What am I?"
ANSWER: ˙ǝlppᴉɹ ɐ ɯɐ I
The Riddler from "The Batman" TV series. It's sad to say people don't usually take a liking to this guy at first glance, but I've got a soft spot for him. This version of Edward Nygma has a tragic backstory compared to some of the other Riddler's in the Batman Universes. It doesn't excuse his behavior as a bad guy, but you can't help but feel sorry for him. I ended up liking him a lot more than I expected, thanks to thethrillof ! They've been a long-time Riddler RPer who has inspired me on and off over the years, so I enjoy spoiling them with surprise art every now and again. ;0;

No matter what THIS version of Riddler will always be my favorite! You did a great job of him! XD And yes when I saw the episode about Riddler's past it broken heart!
I feel like I'm the only who thought the guy looked hot when he first appeared and next to Killer Croc (2004) he's pretty much sexy to me.
I'm just pissed that there ain't any art like him left.. not even a fanfic one shot.

Thank YOU! My dude, my dude- you're totally talking my language. I'VE BEEN A HUGE FAN OF KILLER CROC SINCE I WAS A KID. His earlier design in "Batman: The Animated Series" made me laugh, but he was likable enough. The green, asshole version that became involved with Baby Doll caught my attention instantly! Killer Croc is such a BABE in "The Batman", I sometimes have to take a break when I watch him on screen because OMG i can't.
And tbh, I enjoyed most of the designs from "The Batman" TV show! I didn't care too much for the Riddler as a villain until I saw him in the crazy 1995 live-action movie with Two-Face: "Batman Forever" (NGL, i ship those two hard haha) Upon seeing Riddler and how in-depth they expanded his character in "The Batman", I grew to like the character A LOT! It sucks that there aren't many fans you can come across online, you know? One of my friends that RP'd the dude had mentioned that years back, a lot of people directed homophobic hatred towards "The Batman: Riddler" because of his long hair, black makeup and semi-feminine features and mannerisms. YIKES, what a world. On a side note, it's a pleasure to talk to you! Thanks Friend, for leaving such a lovely comment!

Wicked dude! XD Nice to meet a Killer Croc Fan!
My God the world is full of hypocrites..😤 They seriously don't know a good tv show style if it hit them in the face!
Also have you tried to draw Killer Croc (2004)?

ALWAYS A PLEASURE! ALSO, TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YES. I'm not ashamed to admit I've drawn A LOT of NSFW sketches of Killer Croc, but I haven't pushed myself to finish them. It helps to have the motivation from friends in the fandom, but it's inevitable that people's interests change over the years. He's dear to my heart though, and I'd love to complete them, someday. (IF ONLY TO HELP SPREAD THE LOVE)

He's amazing ! I still can't believe that Rubert Englund did Freddy Krurger.

I KNOW RIGHT? I love voice actors for what they can do! He was great as "Scarecrow" in "Injustice 2"!
Robert Englund has played a ton of other characters and I can't help but laugh each time I hear him!

I remember this character from when I watched the Batman cartoon, gosh that was so long ago. He was one of my favorites back then too! And wow you did an amazing job on this pic of him!!

IT'S AWESOME TO KNOW THAT THERE'S ANOTHER PERSON WHO ENJOYS THE CHARACTER! "The Batman" series has so few fans- It's seriously exciting that you like The Riddler!
I've only known one person who totally fanboys over them. Hopefully with some more fanart and exposure, I can help the fandom grow a little more. Honestly, that would be nice.

It is very underrated in my opinion, I had many happy nights watching that cartoon and it is depressing to not see much art of such an awesome character
I completely agree, especially if it's a character that your passionate about. I'm that way with quite a few Transformers characters that are tragically underappreciated in the multiverse it would seem...

Yeah, I know what that's like. It's unfortunate. It's RARE to come across other fans who like the show, too. I suppose that sort of thing should just give more initiative to create and upload fanart, yeah? It's a good motivator! It makes me happy to talk to someone who doesn't hate the show or its unique style.
As mentioned previously, I like to think obscure fandoms can grow if they're given enough positive attention. My part-time job has been keeping me busy lately, but I'm always working on art in my spare time! I guess you can call "The Batman" a personal project. We'll have to see how things go from here! Haha~

Well it's always hard to find the time to make fanart and fanfics. It annoys me in particular that there is no section of The Batman in ff net, at least the last time I looked anyway which I will admit was quite a long time ago... And yeah I did enjoy this particular animation style and next to the Riddler I enjoyed this version of the Joker very much as well. I know it wasn't the classic design for him but every now and then it's good to reinvent a character but granted there are some boundaries that shouldn't be crossed.
I'm not sure if you would be familiar with the Transformers series, but it's my preferred fandom and most of my art is related to it. But anyway pretty much what I'm getting at is that there is a reoccurring character, the traitorous second-in-command of the Decepticons named Starscream and some many years ago they had a Transformers: Armada series where the writers actually turned him into a very complex and deep character that was a breath of fresh air for the character and the overall plot... of course they later ruined that with Energon...
Geeze... I am getting on a bit of a rant here, my apologize And good luck with your project I would love to see if you get any more art up for it!

Omg, this guy was actually one of my favorite villains from The Batman series, whoever did his voice did an excellent job, a bit more on the creepy side, which I enjoyed. And he is a very sad character really. Fantastic job, my dear!

You might be SURPRISED-! Riddler is voiced by none other than Robert Englund. YOU MAY KNOW HIM AS FREDDY KRUEGER .
Rumor has it that he was initially going to be voiced by Marilyn Manson. It's a loss, but we still got a great character, nonetheless!

Being the huge Riddler fangirl that I am, I never did care for this specific version of Eddie, BUT you drew him absolutely amazing nonetheless and I do need to look into this version more. c: Very well drawn! hehe

I'D LOVE IF YOU'D CHECK HIM OUT! I want to promote the show so other people can get interested!
I also had NO idea that you were a Riddler fan! I LIKE THAT. Haha! You've got good taste~
