The Batman Trailer Breakdown: 20 Things You Must See

6. Riddler Goes For His Twitch Partnership

Yet more evidence that Riddler is a major player in this story. It's not really the style of a small-time crook to broadcast your killings for the world to see, is it?

This reminds us of the Joker's sadistic "home movies" in The Dark Knight, the first of which he sent to a news outlet in order to grab Batman's attention. Perhaps Riddler is doing something similar here, threatening to broadcast more murders unless Batman comes forward. This would also play into his earlier line "I've been trying to reach you."

We also hear the Riddler say "what's black and blue and dead all over?" which, honestly mate, isn't a very good riddle.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
