Batman: The Riddler's Funniest Riddles of All Time, Ranked

Christian Bone — Tue, 04 Aug 2026 20:30:13 GMT

When it comes to Batman villains with the best sense of humor, the Joker is widely considered to be the funniest of the lot, thanks to his infamous gags and pranks. That doesn't mean fans should overlook the Riddler, though, whose ever-present riddles are often far funnier than anything the Joker cooks up. The Joker may be the Crown Prince of Crime, but the Riddler is the Prince of Puzzles, and his wordplay and wit are second to none. There have been numerous interpretations of Edward Nygma over the decades, and exactly how funny he is depends on the tone of each distinct version, but even the character's darker reimaginings are capable of unleashing a rib-tickling riddle or two.

If Its ‘Reveal’ is True, Injustice 3 Could Feature More Than One Superman

Jared Stewart — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 14:45:13 GMT

It’s a momentous and opportunistic period for DC right now. Pedestaled by recent outings in the DCU—Creature Commandos, Superman, and Peacemaker—James Gunn and Peter Safran are shepherding the DC brand to the promised land and finally bringing some goodwill to the cinematic and theatrical side of one of the comic book industry’s most popular banners. For a while there, DC movies and TV shows were as dismissed or poorly received as DC video games, and the DCU being introduced to video game properties was a bold promise that hasn’t quite been fulfilled yet.

Matt Reeves' The Batman Can't Be The DCU's Bruce Wayne

Matt Reeves' The Batman is in danger of limping to his next mission as years pass without development. Despite this, anticipation is still sky-high for Batman's next adventure. One might assume that more Batman is good Batman, especially at the blockbuster level, but James Gunn's take on the caped crusader has instead been met with some skepticism from fans, largely due to The Batman's success. James Gunn's The Brave And The Bold is set to provide a suitable counter to Reeves' Batman for Gunn's DCU.

Most Bittersweet Endings In DC Movies, Ranked

The world of DC Comics has dealt with many highs and lows across the history of bringing beloved characters to the big screen. Although many characters receive the happy ending that audiences are rooting for, others fail to get that for themselves through acts of self-sacrifice or deep loss.

The Batman Part 2's Bruce Wayne Will Be Old Enough For Retirement

Fletcher Bailey — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 13:30:16 GMT

The delays to Matt Reeves' The Batman Part 2 are becoming intolerable. DC Studios Co-Head James Gunn once tweeted that 5-year gaps are "fairly common in sequels." While that may or may not be true, what's surely uncommon are 15-year gaps between assumed ages of actors and the young adult characters they play. Robert Pattinson recently told Hero Magazine that he'll "be f****ng old Batman by the sequel." He's completely correct. Someone has to say it, because fans aren't sure Gunn and company understand: Robert Pattinson is not actually a vampire. He will age.
