Batman Video Details the Evolution of Riddler’s Costumes in Movies & TV
A new Batman video details the evolution of Riddler’s costumes in film and television, including those worn by Jim Carrey and Paul Dano. In 1948, Bill Finger and Dick Sprang’s Riddler first appeared in DC Comics before going on to be portrayed by Frank Gorshin and John Astin on the 1960s television series, Batman. However, the character didn’t make his live-action debut until years after Tim Burton’s Batman (1989).
Until recently, Riddler hadn’t appeared in a live-action film since Carrey played im in Batman Forever (1995). That movie was a decidedly campy affair, allowing Carrey to infuse Riddler with his trademark manic energy. Dano revolutionized Ridder in Matt Reeves’ The Batman (2022), depicting him as a Zodiac-esque serial killer targeting Gotham City’s elites. Of course, there have also been many small-screen, animated, and video game iterations of the characters in between these two portrayals. For example, Cory Michael Smith’s Edward Nygma in Gotham (2014-2019) is considered by many to be one of Riddler’s best live-action portrayals. Whether the performance is given in live-action, animation, or elsewhere, a key aspect of any Riddler is their costume—from dapper suits, green unitards, and bowler hats to cellophane and an outfit he bought at a sporting goods store.
