Okay, your answer is poorly thought out and you posted after the riddle has already been solved! Zero stars!

I mentioned the week before that I was going to be busy. If you can't take the time to read in between gorging on universes, that's your business. And for the last time, I'm nobody's minion! You chose Psycho-Pirate and you have to live with that!

"Backward masking" was the precise phrasing I was going for, but close enough! You win this fine set of crystal decanters, which you should probably wash out before using.

No second guessing! Take your punishment with honor!

You're scratched.

NEGATIVE!

WRONG! Equalizers are by definition neutral!

Oswald's more of a classics man, so in any other context I'd say he was probably taking inspiration from Titus Andronicus. Considering this show's writers, though…

You say that like it's unusual for this town.

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB!

Well, if they were easy, what fun would it be? For me, of course, I don't particularly care how fun it is for you.

Oh, so close! The first segment was actually Hyde, as in Jekyll and. So while you win overall, you also get a tiny, worrisome punishment. Enjoy this box of homemade Cobblepot family recipe cupcakes, but also be aware that I'm not telling you what else I put in them! Happy eating!

RIDDLE ME THIS, AV CLUB!

CORRECT! (You just know they'd have a lot to jaw about!) Just in time, too. Congratulations, you win the confiscated take from Lori Petty's insane punk nightclub!

Doctor, Doctor, give me the news, I got a bad case of missing clues!

That's a bad idea on multiple levels!

I take it you weren't around for my last hurrah on the Batman: The Animated Series reviews?

No, that was last week. Do try to keep up.

What is it with you people and guessing sitcom characters? But on the other hand, if you like pratfalls…

Unfortunately, you seem to take after Cliff Clavin.
