The Riddler is my favourite supervillain of Batman, mainly because I, unlike Batman, could never solve his riddles.
A riddle is sometimes a statement and often a question having a hidden and even a double meaning that requires solving. Riddles, conundra not enigmas, are quite close to puns, which is another reason why I like the Riddler. It's a shame that the Joker didn't do puns when squaring up to Batman.
Below are ten riddles for you to solve. The person who correctly solves the most riddles will be awarded a prestigious prize!
Anyone caught cheating will be severely punished by Batman with Robin in attendance!
I'll reveal the answers to the riddles in two days time.

I never gave much thought to villains in movies 🤔 Back in the days when I watched TV with the family, there was a show where we had a favorite actor who always played one of the bad guys in the background and we always got excited when we found him in a scene.
I've become more interested in villains as I've got older. The 'happy ever after' ending doesn't appeal to me so much nowadays.

I never cared for the Riddler I was more of the Joker fan myself. But I did enjoy watching Batman and Robin when I was a young girl. I wish I could answer some of these but I have no clue honestly to the answers.
Thanks for sharing such a great blog today brought back a lot of great memories for me. I hope you continue to enjoy a very tempting Tuesday..
