WRONG! Think harder, people!

Good Lord, Jervis, you've made an actual lucid witticism. Who says Arkham never really helps its inmates?

No, that would be correct if the question were "Where would I, the Riddler, place this show on the standard A-F grading scale, assuming I'd forgotten the existence of hyphens?"

Yes, obviously my libelous doppelganger planted the body parts, as he was actually shown picking the lock on the M.E.'s door. But I can understand not paying close attention to this show.

I don't know why people fixate on the trapdoors so much. There's such a rich world of Rube Goldbergian mayhem for me to explore.

WRONG!

- Grant Morrison

WRONG! But an excellent idea!

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB

FOR NOW.

Of course we all cheer for the Riddler, and are highly interested in his life! Not the skinny troll inexplicably referred to as Edward Nygma in this show, though. He hasn't nearly earned the name.

Why, it's simple. Like most police procedurals, this show holds intelligent people in a combination of fear and contempt and must present them as utterly lacking in all social skills so as to lessen their power. Therefore, a debonair intellectual such as myself becomes a walking Nerd Stereotype Bingo card.

How uncharacteristically wise of you.

If you want to tell this show to stay out of your territory, get in line, pal.

Wrong form of "it's?" Errant capitalization? Awkard puncutation? QUOTATION MARKS USED TO DESIGNATE ACTIONS?

"Remiss!" The correct word is "remiss!" And that's not even getting into the sloppy meter in your first… oh, I don't know why I even bother with you, Tetch.

Close enough! "Off the rack" is the more common phrasing, but essentially correct! Great, well done, easy riddle solved, we can all go home. As a prize, have a pack of that mysteriously unidentified blue drug that Flass and his cronies were handing out.

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB!

TIME'S UP!

Wrong!
