The character was created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang , and debuted in Detective Comics #140 in October 1948. He has become one of the most enduring enemies of the superhero Batman and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up his rogues gallery .
In his comic book appearances, the Riddler is depicted as a criminal mastermind in Gotham City . He has an obsessive compulsion to incorporate riddles , puzzles , and death traps in his schemes to prove his intellectual superiority over Batman and the police. His real name–Edward Nigma–is a pun itself; an "enigma" is a person or thing that is difficult to understand. With this self-conscious use of an elaborate gimmick , the Riddler's crimes are often theatrical and ostentatious. The character commonly wears a domino mask and either a green unitard decorated with question mark prints or a green suit and bowler hat . A black, green, or purple question mark serves as his visual motif.-Wikipedia
