>>99810259A crafty attempt to mask your crimes, Riddler, but showmanship can't outdo the reasoning of justice!
The question is clearly a reference to the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's famous quote "God is dead." This phrase is commonly connected to the philosopher's famous work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra."
The title "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" is famously shared with the name of a song by the composer Richard Strauss, which was used as the title song for the film 2001: A Space Odyssey!
The immortal story of the Odyssey pits the hero Odysseus against the wrath of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. This brings the riddle back to your appearance! The image of Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. These two gods are of course two parts of a trio, brothers of the Olympian Pantheon. And that third brother is none other than Zeus!
Riddler, you have clearly signaled that you intend to begin a partnership with the delusional criminal Maxie Zeus. And for what prize? For this, we refer back to your first phrase.
Despite its renown from Thus Spoke Zarathustra, "God is dead" first appeared in Nietzsche's earlier work "The Gay Science." Early, gay and science point to Alan Turing, the British logician who made great strides in the advancement of computers! Keeping with your theme of Greek mythology, there can only be one possible target: The Colossus codebreaking supercomputer built during World War II! Parts of this computer will be on tour from the National Museum of Computing, making a stop at Gotham's own Museum of History!
Your penchant for puzzles has undone your computational caper before it ever started, Riddler!
