>>106671916I said as much that I don't defend The Batman as a whole and that it got a lot of things ass backwards that are hated for a reason in case you didn't read.
But watch the episodes starring The Riddler and you'll see a take on the character that's much better than the rep he usually gets in the comics, that manages to instill on him a genuine atmosphere and menace without making him unnecessarily edgy.
The design isn't good but it's not the worst Riddler design ever (see: King's Riddler or Batman Earth One) nor is it incongruent with the character of the show, and the knee-jerk reaction to it shouldn't earn a complete dismissal of everything else that makes this version of Riddler work so well, better than any other villain of the show.
