I knew the rumors, but I didn't see the Talia thing coming at all.  I really should have, especially after they introduced Ra's's(?) child.

Paul Dini's recent Detective run had the best Riddler stories that I can think of, in which he goes legit and becomes a private detective/consultant.  It does a nice job portraying Riddler's intellect and ego.

The only time I found that really effective was the 78 version of Body Snatchers, which just has Robert Duvall, dressed as a Jesuit and swinging at a playground, staring at a character for what feels like 5 minutes.  It was very unnerving and contributed to the sense that something is a little off.
