I am constantly astonished by which riddles stump the room and which are answered immediately, and this is no exception.

That's true. You'd wind up with one or more additional casts, and I'd have wasted an afternoon.

Oh no, I'm not falling for the old please-sign-my-cast trick. There's always an ice pick or scalpel or something hidden in that thing. Tell you what: I'll disguise myself as one of the Arkham staff and sign it sometime when you're sedated. It'll be a nice, nonlethal surprise.

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB!

Don't blame me for your video game failures.

Well… thanks, I guess. But if I know me, he'll be up and besmirching my good name in no time.

God damn it.

And yet here I am, free as a bird and seriously considering activating the trap in your room. No, don't look for it, you won't find it. Yet.

I've been laying low in this bizarre post-reboot Gotham, and I have to say I don't like it. It's just no fun anymore. Everyone's all grim and ultraviolent. I mean, someone actually ripped the Joker's face off, for God's sake! What kind of world did I just zap myself into? I dread finding out what my counterpart is…

Or did you?

Okay, I'm officially giving you the win here, since Zsasz didn't commit to his. I suppose I must be getting soft if YOU got it.

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB!

Nonsense, I'm a model employer. I save my diabolical contraptions for the big time. Besides, you shouldn't be listening to Ivy's boys, they're just philodendrons with hastily-evolved artificial larynxes.

I'm hiring.

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB!

We have a winner! Domo Arigato, Fister Roboto!

An amusing pun, but not the right answer, I'm afraid (and really, why would a puppet be against puppet governments?).

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB!

And I would want to look like Susan Sontag because…?

Hmph, and here I thought an anagram would make things easier for you all. The answer: "Ra's al Ghul in a team" becomes A REGAL MALTHUSIAN. Haaaahahahahaha!
