No, no, he was fine with it. Really, at this point in his career he's just glad to get the work.

That was the logo for my never-filmed sitcom, "The Honeyriddlers," in which Ivy and I play a married couple who argue for a half hour then kill Batman at the end of each episode. The Mad Hatter is our wacky neighbor who keeps coming up with harebrained schemes to control people's minds. Clayface plays all the…

Nice try, Whovian, but if I got violent on everyone who tried to make themselves sound smart by belittling my riddles, I'd have racked up a higher body count than the Joker by now. My revenge will be a bit more… clever.

Oh dear, I just saw Sava's request in the Stray Observations. Sorry, but my policy is to refrain from riddling over my own episodes, for fear of upstaging myself. But thanks for the kind words!

Another of my episodes! Huzzah!
Oh yes, I had a ball with that computer scheme. Messing with the banking system, creating my own little world to torment Batman and company, so much fun.

I'm back! Like A First has the correct answer, though I must dock a point for number 3. I was in fact referring to the fact that O is the most common blood type, which incidentally is the substance you'll have to forfeit some of as a penalty. Still, well done!

Oh, and I'm afraid my need to duck out for two hours shortly after asking my weekly riddle is going to persist at least through July. What can I say, the detective business is not for the lazy. But don't think of it as losing my scintillating conversation; think of it as two hours in which I'm guaranteed not to get…

My first is a music box.
My second is somewhat shapeless.
My third is all over the bloody place.
My fourth is pretty sneaky.
My whole is essentially the last three weeks of this writeup.
What am I?

WRONG! The correct answer is that he could never stand to take silver! HAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

No, it is not! That's Len Wein's lazy writing, not mine.

In what way was Anthony Romulus like a werewolf even before his transformation?

So they both get killed by the tiger? Not the best strategy, Tom.

Hell, I shake up the formula for one day and everyone gets their panties in a twist. For God's sake, it's an episode called "Tyger, Tyger" that features a woman being made half-tiger! How could I resist quoting my all-time favorite short story?

I answer your question thusly, Iron First: the brilliance of the story is that either answer is completely plausible, but choosing one depends entirely upon your interpretations of the workings of the human mind, which is the greatest riddle of all.

"The question of her decision is one not to be lightly considered, and it is not for me to presume to set myself up as the one person able to answer it. And so I leave it with all of you: Which came out of the opened door - the lady, or the tiger?"

Damn, that was fast. Well done, Mr. Propinka! Please accept this innocent-looking briefcase as your prize.

Why does Carl Rossum prefer to live out in the countryside?

Ah well, it was my first go-round with the Bat. A rookie mistake here and there is to be expected.

I'm smart enough to realize that wealth and material comforts are status symbols rather than vital factors in my well-being, and so I eschew the pursuit of wealth in favor of that which truly makes me happy, i.e. riddles.

TRICK QUESTION! There are many, MANY reasons that I'm awesome. For instance, the fact that in my debut episode I ruin my target's life, run the Bat ragged, and get away scot-free! But all other answers are equally valid.
