You're not helping!

I know better than to give money to any of you lunatics.

Oh great, this place is turning into a regular DC villain jamboree. That's what I get for being a trendsetter.

Too logical. More likely he'd slap some makeup on, kill and replace someone at craft services, and slip some of his toxin into the coffee. Probably during a scene with the youngest actors. Then he'd steal the resulting footage and put it on Youtube. Just a guess.

Let him try.

I've been doing rhyming riddles since before you registered an account, pal, so I'll take no back talk from you.

What are you going to do, invade Gotham with an army of shadow demons? I dare you.

Jet packs and airplanes do not count!

Oh dear, not only has this riddle gone quickly, it's been solved by several people simultaneously. Well, I'm a fair man, so we'll decide the winner squarely. Everyone who correctly guessed "fight or flight," either run away or fight to the death.

I choose "kill."

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB!

Poor Jonathan, he's had to endure this joke so many times since he began his criminal career. Especially when he gets assigned to the cell next to Joker in Arkham.

I'm glad you asked! I usually come up with the riddles during the show itself, which is challenging and tends to restrict their complexity. Today, however, I knew beforehand that the villain would be Crane, so I came up with the core of the riddle early and had time to flesh it out.

Keep the faith, Sheltie.

Yes, it works great if you ignore the entire rest of my riddle and go straight for the most obvious pop-culture reference at hand.

THINK.

BOO! Also, WRONG!

WRONG!

Correct! I would also accept a herd, which is also sometimes used to describe a group of cranes. Well done! For your prize, please accept this pile of severed limbs and a set of plans for constructing the world's greatest Halloween decorations.

I salute your Gotham-like dedication to sheer brain-splattering idiocy.
