    The best showcasing of the Riddler than I've seen has been Arkham City.

    You are referring to Joker's Asylum II: The Riddler not written by dini but that's the only one-shot I can think of that was AFTER the detective phase

    @jedixman: paul dini wrote a one shot where he an batman try to solve a crime together its in detective comics its very good. Not sure if this is the one your thinkn of tho

    well, it wasn't a one-shot. Dini did a few issues with "detective Nigma". I could name them off but Here's a mini list which contains that most of them (still need to add and organize that series of lists but that's a job for another day...): http://www.comicvine.com/profile/the_poet/lists/riddler-supreme-appearance-lists-part-three-2006-o/41341

    This topic has been done before in The Best Riddler Story and majorly in The Riddler comics suggestion. Normally as moderator I would lock this thread and tell you to go the previous threads but considering some of those people have been gone a year and other have been banned I will allow this thread to be open.

    Copying a few suggestions from that suggestion thread because I would agree with them and I'm lazy:

    • Batman: Run, Riddler, Run
    • The Batman Chronicles #3
    • Batman: Riddler & The Riddle Factory
    • The Question #26
    • Joker's Asylum II: The Riddler
    • Legends of the Dark Knight #109-111, as well as the arc mentioned by the above poster
    • Catwoman: When in Rome
    • Detective Comics #705-707
    • Batman #698-699, #452-454, #822, 828
    • JUSTICE #2-4
    • Green Arrow #35-36, #49-50

    Hush is one people name a lot. He's not in that arc a lot (though I love that one image from that arc which I use as my av).

    Personally, I'm not crazy about DC Comics Presents - Batman: Dark City, Dark Knight since that's not Riddler necessarily but some people like that arc.

    It's always been my intention to make a list of good Riddler appearences but I just have never gotton around to it (I did start a supreme riddler appearence series of lists to organize the different times of the Riddler. If I ever finish those lists I'll make a personal favorate riddler appearences list.

    This looks like a job for @the_poet

    There's always that one guy who knows WAY too much about that one character. For CV it was Mr. Riddler, but with his...departure (forced or otherwise) I guess this means...I'm now that guy (??????). How in the world did that happen? :P

    Nygma's Maze

    Episode 41 (Season 1) of Batman: The Animated Series (Fox TV) titled "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?" [11/18/1992] introduced Edward Nygma, a disgruntled employee with a scheming mind who decides to become the diabolical Riddler and lure Batman and Robin to his unusual maze where he can attempt to destroy both them and his old boss who betrayed him.

    This entertaining story nicely presents the mental aspects of the Riddler. In a lot of ways, the Riddler is the Dr. No (James Bond) of the comic book world.

    If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?

    Dr. No
