it was like a conversation between moriarty and holmes but with so much more drama. a true example of the battle of wits although strange has the psychological edge
I love how batman always acts so confedent when he talks to riddler. And when Hugo strange talks to him, Hugo acts so chill, yet he still makes riddler look like an idiot
Let's not forget that Riddlers potential isn't just in disclosing the riddles (or secerts) of his victims but putting them in situations where finding out the anwser to his traps are near impossible (unless you have the cunning of batman or a real genius). Strange is impressive at finding his opponent's weaknesses but can only due so to manipulate them to a small degree, figuring out the riddler's mental weakness is one thing but being able to get out of his traps is an entirely different story
DUDE I love the way how the actor makes him sound like a smartass! It's so cool! I love riddler!!! He's my second favorite villain! First is HArley QuINn!
@MrRAYGUN2009 You complete rows of the Riddler challenges, mostly. A few are found by completing sidequests--the Riddler, Zsasz, and the Mad Hatter. But Park Row gives you Catwoman, Bowery gives you Penguin, Amusement Mile gives you Mister Freeze, Subway gives you Two-Face and Industrial District gives you Joker.
No Ra's already knew before Strange told him but he was impressed with Strange being able to figure it out so he told Strange he would make him his successor if he killed Batman.
I don't remember Ra's calling him Wayne during that part, or any other part, but I remeber that SPOILERS after he kills Strange he tells him that "when he came to him with Batman's secret identity" etc etc. So he knows that he is Bruce, but not how sarutobi said, because Ra's trained him.
There are different story lines on Batman (Some cartoons, Comics, movies and so on where "stuff" change) but if we take Comics as the prime source, I my self know for sure that Hush, Bane, Ra's, Strange, Talia, Core members of the Justice League, (In future: Lex luthor and some more learns about it. When they are very old: According to a comic book I read). There are few others who know such as a model/leader Jezebal Jet. All this I've read from comics I have.
If we'd go down that route, then we'd have to go even further beyond that, past Riddler's temporary reform and semi-memory loss, then onward to his turning back to being a villain.
I believe the game has the same background as the comics, but only the things that happen in the game don't happen in the comics (like Joker dying, Talia dying, Clayface becoming immortal) I'm not sure, but I think Ra's calls batman wayne during the part where he believes he is going to take over his empire.
The only thing I do not like about the way Hugo Strange was portrayed in this game is he was a new villain for Batman who knows his identity, when in fact he is the first real supervillian Batman ever faces and does know his identity (originally in the Detective Comics). Also Ra's Al Ghul figures out who Batman is as well.
@MrRAYGUN2009 For most of the major villians, you need to complete all the Riddler challenges in areas of Arkham City. To unlock the Riddler's tapes, you need to rescue his hostages and you'll unlock them.
It was great how Riddler couldn't say anything because it would involve admitting that he didn't know who Batman was and therefore that Strange is smarter than him.
actually, in the comics, all of those people except Joker DO know. Ra's knows because he trained Bruce before he was Batman, Bane and Hush know because they both stalked him for weeks, and Talia knows because she met him while he was training under Ra's
To be fair, in the normal cannon, Riddler has already deduced Batman's identity, even without following him. Edward just doesn't give it away because Batman used his own twisted mind against him, telling him what's the use of a riddle everyone knows the answer to.
"How do you attempt to understand what is happening in Arkham City when all of the answers are, STRANGE"? i love the quotes all the bad guys in this game have
I've read interviews with Wally Wingert where he cites Frank Gorshin and NOT Jim Carrey's egregious performance that nearly disparaged The Riddler's name. In addition, if you watch Jim Carrey's interviews, he *also* cites Frank Gorshin as his influence. Oh, yes, and ... "The more you know." (It's also an opinion if you are stating that Carrey was the "best Riddler".)
Ra's and Talia know, Bane know, Strange know, Hush know, even Joker had ocasions to know but he didnt want to know(ultimatily I belive he did learn his identity) but a person who left trophies and painted question marks around the city, with different mechanisms and places hard to get for batman does not. That realy riddles me... I mean, how hard is it to just follow batman to his cave that is under his mansion?
The Riddler is smarter, but doesn't like to get his hands dirty. As well he has a cumplsive need to leave clues. So, in a way- The Joker, although not as smart, is a more powerful type of crazy- he goes to great length for his plans. And although they both crave atention the Joker is willing, and has the ablity, to get physical.
Riddler is strangely sexy... o_o The nice suit and hat, the catching, thrilling voice. The narcissism is hilarious and the desperate little catch he gets when he's beaten is absolutely adorable. I mean, gotta avoid the crazies in real life, but in a video game? Swoon.
The riddler to me is a worst opponent than Strange, he broadcasted to him with an untraceble device, found out how he mentally broke the inmates and warden within the asylum and knew of his secert passage ways, all without the help of owning an institution or using guards. Strange hand riddler's files so he knew something about him however Riddler didn't know much about Strange as an individual yet manage to uncover all those secerts. The most Strange did with Riddler was get the last word
It's not an opinion. If you watch interviews or anything with every actor who's played The Riddler since Jim Carrey, they state that they have based their version heavily on Carrey's.
John Glover didn't base his Riddler on Jim's zany portrayal, Robert Englund didn't base his Riddler on Jim's zany portrayal and neither did Wally Wingert (who voices Eddy here). I've yet to read an interview with any of those three that would suggest otherwise.
Ra's and Talia know who he is but do not decide to expose him to the world after all. Talia does love him and Ra's wants to use him in his own schemes. Hush doesn't know.
Hugo Strange is the only guy I have ever seen compleatly humiliate and demeane the Riddler. wow. That's impressive. I'm gonna have to start takeing Strange a lot more seriously now.
By tape 2, the Riddler seems to have the upper hand. By the end of the 3rd tape, Strange re-affirms his position and kicks Nygma's ass by using his trump card: Baiting him with the identity of Batman. Then with the 4th tape, Strange humiliates him throughout it all and adds salt in the wound by giving him a demeaning riddle. Both are formidable, but Strange is by far the more evil of the two.
Wow this really shows how messed up riddler is. Like strange says he is extremely narssitic. Even if strange told him batman was bruce wayne he proabley wouldnt belive him because he'd refuse to belive that bruce could be batman without him figuring it out
Strange isn't using a mind trick if you play the game he manipulated Mad into hypnotizing Sharp so that Sharp would only take orders from Hugo. This isn't star wars.
4:46 Poor Riddler. You can hear the distress in his voice.
It really is sad. He was owning strange in the beginning of the tapes too. Unfortunately, Hugo made a comeback
Butters Stotch He had help though. Sooo...cheating? :3
it was like a conversation between moriarty and holmes but with so much more drama. a true example of the battle of wits although strange has the psychological edge
I love how batman always acts so confedent when he talks to riddler. And when Hugo strange talks to him, Hugo acts so chill, yet he still makes riddler look like an idiot
I'm usually for Nigma, but this time he got OWNED by Strange :D
thats what i was thinking
Gotta love how both Riddler and Hugo one-upped each other until Hugo trolled him with Batman's identity.
Gotta love how Strange just pwns Riddler at the end. He really needs to go up against Batman in a live-action film.
Hugo*uses the force*: You will hang up now
Sharp: I will hang up now
The "forgettable patients" were the Lunatics from Arkham Asylum.
I love the way Hugo turned it around on The Riddler and pretty much booted his intelligence where the sun don't shine.. Pride commeth before fall..
Let's not forget that Riddlers potential isn't just in disclosing the riddles (or secerts) of his victims but putting them in situations where finding out the anwser to his traps are near impossible (unless you have the cunning of batman or a real genius).

I just love how eddie is such a nerd but hes so secy at the same time!
Thank you katana! AND I BET OTHER FANGIRLS WOULD LOVE MY OPINIONS!!!!
DUDE I love the way how the actor makes him sound like a smartass!
It's so cool! I love riddler!!!
He's my second favorite villain!
First is HArley QuINn!
Riddler sounds adorable when he realizes people MAY have beaten him at something.
Riddler is such a boss lol
Oh, god, I can't stop laughing at Hugo in a batsuit, crying.
In arkham city its edward nigma, but in arkham origins alfred said edward nashton
Strange and The Riddler are the PERFECT match for each other.
Man the Riddler and Mr. Freeze are the best villains EVER!!! You know, Riddler is impressivo
the riddler has always been my favorite batman villan
Great video man! The Riddler is my FAVORITE #1 VILLAIN in the Batman saga! :D
@MrRAYGUN2009 You complete rows of the Riddler challenges, mostly. A few are found by completing sidequests--the Riddler, Zsasz, and the Mad Hatter. But Park Row gives you Catwoman, Bowery gives you Penguin, Amusement Mile gives you Mister Freeze, Subway gives you Two-Face and Industrial District gives you Joker.
It's from the comics. Hugo Strange has always been that obsessed with Batman, to the point he dresses up as him.
No Ra's already knew before Strange told him but he was impressed with Strange being able to figure it out so he told Strange he would make him his successor if he killed Batman.
Hugo Strange: Jedi Mind Trick, works every time
And yet my favorite villain has been humiliated by a doctor... I shall hurt you Hugo Strange lol
I don't remember Ra's calling him Wayne during that part, or any other part, but I remeber that SPOILERS after he kills Strange he tells him that "when he came to him with Batman's secret identity" etc etc. So he knows that he is Bruce, but not how sarutobi said, because Ra's trained him.
There are tapes in Arkham City. After meeting certain villains, you unlock their character profiles, which in turn unlock the interview tapes.
There are different story lines on Batman (Some cartoons, Comics, movies and so on where "stuff" change) but if we take Comics as the prime source, I my self know for sure that Hush, Bane, Ra's, Strange, Talia, Core members of the Justice League, (In future: Lex luthor and some more learns about it. When they are very old: According to a comic book I read). There are few others who know such as a model/leader Jezebal Jet. All this I've read from comics I have.
This is why the Riddler should be a hero he would be the best hero ever.
If we'd go down that route, then we'd have to go even further beyond that, past Riddler's temporary reform and semi-memory loss, then onward to his turning back to being a villain.
I believe the game has the same background as the comics, but only the things that happen in the game don't happen in the comics (like Joker dying, Talia dying, Clayface becoming immortal) I'm not sure, but I think Ra's calls batman wayne during the part where he believes he is going to take over his empire.

It was great how Riddler couldn't say anything because it would involve admitting that he didn't know who Batman was and therefore that Strange is smarter than him.
Riddler: Batman, who are you?
Batman: Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist.
these interview tapes make me wish that strange had lived in AC.
Erghhh I'm trying to do that now, and it is horrible.
I just love the Riddler too much not to do it, though
actually, in the comics, all of those people except Joker DO know. Ra's knows because he trained Bruce before he was Batman, Bane and Hush know because they both stalked him for weeks, and Talia knows because she met him while he was training under Ra's
To be fair, in the normal cannon, Riddler has already deduced Batman's identity, even without following him. Edward just doesn't give it away because Batman used his own twisted mind against him, telling him what's the use of a riddle everyone knows the answer to.
I could see Paul Bettany playing The Riddler in a spinoff to The Dark Knight Trilogy.
0:38-0:50 ,count dooku reference from star wars hilarious
"How do you attempt to understand what is happening in Arkham City when all of the answers are, STRANGE"?
i love the quotes all the bad guys in this game have
LOL Hugo just owned The Riddler at the end there XD
I've read interviews with Wally Wingert where he cites Frank Gorshin and NOT Jim Carrey's egregious performance that nearly disparaged The Riddler's name. In addition, if you watch Jim Carrey's interviews, he *also* cites Frank Gorshin as his influence.
Oh, yes, and ... "The more you know."
(It's also an opinion if you are stating that Carrey was the "best Riddler".)
There is a myth going around that Hugo has his own batsuit, as mentioned in this, also there is a locked room that people say Hugo puts it.
Ra's and Talia know, Bane know, Strange know, Hush know, even Joker had ocasions to know but he didnt want to know(ultimatily I belive he did learn his identity) but a person who left trophies and painted question marks around the city, with different mechanisms and places hard to get for batman does not. That realy riddles me... I mean, how hard is it to just follow batman to his cave that is under his mansion?
LOL damn, Hugo got him at the end.
@Flasa i know right, Since when does hugo strange use jedi mind tricks?
The 2nd tape reminds me of 1 of the zsasz tapes in arkham asylum.
Also Bane is quite intelligent which is how he broke Batman down both mentally and physically
-Fuck you iPad!- impressive and Mr. Freeze is the only villain who got a reason to be criminal.
WOW! That The 1st time I Heard Someone Besides Batman Shut The Riddler Down
He has his own BATSUIT???
The Riddler is smarter, but doesn't like to get his hands dirty. As well he has a cumplsive need to leave clues. So, in a way- The Joker, although not as smart, is a more powerful type of crazy- he goes to great length for his plans. And although they both crave atention the Joker is willing, and has the ablity, to get physical.
"Your both at a loss for words."
Oh SNAP!
Was riddler physically in the game other then the game over thingy ?
Hugo Strange wants to be Batman basically, so he has a replica Batman suit that he wears.
Tell me, do you access these in the games or onine? How do you get them?
It's funny how he gets Riddler to shut up and give him a riddle.
Ra's knows because Strange told him, but I don't think he cares. It doesn't matter if he's Batman or Wayne, to Ra's he'll always be the Detective.
Riddler is strangely sexy... o_o The nice suit and hat, the catching, thrilling voice. The narcissism is hilarious and the desperate little catch he gets when he's beaten is absolutely adorable. I mean, gotta avoid the crazies in real life, but in a video game? Swoon.
Hugo Strange is a greater threat than all BatMan's villains combined.
@JWFernel Professor Hugo Strange reminds me so much of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, I can see Dr. Lecter so pwning the Riddler like this xD
The riddler to me is a worst opponent than Strange, he broadcasted to him with an untraceble device, found out how he mentally broke the inmates and warden within the asylum and knew of his secert passage ways, all without the help of owning an institution or using guards. Strange hand riddler's files so he knew something about him however Riddler didn't know much about Strange as an individual yet manage to uncover all those secerts. The most Strange did with Riddler was get the last word
The Riddler is the Question after a bad bad day...
It's not an opinion. If you watch interviews or anything with every actor who's played The Riddler since Jim Carrey, they state that they have based their version heavily on Carrey's.
John Glover didn't base his Riddler on Jim's zany portrayal, Robert Englund didn't base his Riddler on Jim's zany portrayal and neither did Wally Wingert (who voices Eddy here). I've yet to read an interview with any of those three that would suggest otherwise.
Ra's and Talia know who he is but do not decide to expose him to the world after all. Talia does love him and Ra's wants to use him in his own schemes. Hush doesn't know.
This is an awesome war between two trollers.
-Hate you iPad!!!- and very calculated
In the comics. Ra's does know. Bane does know(Knightfall),Hush does know(Batman:HUSH)
Gonna need Mr. Freeze for a burn like that XD
Best...interview...yet
If he does know in the comics, how come he doesn't take advantage of that knowledge or is it he doesn't want to?
what was the riddler talking about when he mentioned hugo´s closet
Hugo Strange is the only guy I have ever seen compleatly humiliate and demeane the Riddler. wow. That's impressive. I'm gonna have to start takeing Strange a lot more seriously now.
How do you get riddlers interveiw tapes?
By tape 2, the Riddler seems to have the upper hand. By the end of the 3rd tape, Strange re-affirms his position and kicks Nygma's ass by using his trump card: Baiting him with the identity of Batman. Then with the 4th tape, Strange humiliates him throughout it all and adds salt in the wound by giving him a demeaning riddle. Both are formidable, but Strange is by far the more evil of the two.
the funny thing is in the movies the riddler was played by jim carry
I don't think it was a phone.I think it was the same way he communicated with Batman throughout the game.
is hugo voiced by corey burton?
Oh I forgot to say: Riddler also is a genius! His puzzles are very difficult na
@UncleApothecary That and he has a bitchin pose with the vintage custom designed cane to match.
The one holding nothing. All of the others had weapons that could be used against them.
Wow this really shows how messed up riddler is. Like strange says he is extremely narssitic. Even if strange told him batman was bruce wayne he proabley wouldnt belive him because he'd refuse to belive that bruce could be batman without him figuring it out
How did you get 3 and 4 tapes?
How do u get all interview tapex
since when does hugo strange use jedi mind tricks?
Still doing giveaways?
do you need all 400 trophies to get all tapes ?
@UncleApothecary Have you seen that concept art of him holding a Riddler trophy? Look at those cat-like eyes....
Strange isn't using a mind trick if you play the game he manipulated Mad into hypnotizing Sharp so that Sharp would only take orders from Hugo. This isn't star wars.
What if you have this on wiiu?
I pity any prank caller who happens to dial Strange's number.
Riddle me this DERPITY DERP
Every Riddler actor since Jim Carrey has tried to impersonate Carrey because he was the best Riddler.
The more you know!
Reminds me of Jim Carrey Riddler.
The Riddler got pwned hardcore.
That is strange...whatever floats your boat though.
How do you get these tapes?
