Ups...

7. The Riddler Is A Fantastic Villain

Batman The Enemy Within Riddler
Telltale

Credit to Telltale for not simply leaning on John Doe for this episode as they so easily could have, and instead having Batman face off against The Riddler, who is voiced terrifically here by the brilliant Robin Atkin Downes.

Telltale have concocted their own interesting spin on the iconic supervillain, a little older than most mainstream Riddlers, having been around since long before Bruce took up the Batman mantle, and presenting the Caped Crusader with some of his most personal and cerebral challenges yet.

He's a great addition to the Telltale Batman universe and, while some might be disappointed with one certain aspect of his arc in this episode, he walks a fine line between being dementedly over-the-top and legitimately terrifying.
