Riddler’s new costume is the best and the worst for the Batman comics

Riddler got a fashion refresh in Comic detective storyAnd I couldn’t be happier for him.

It can hard to repeat on Riddler. A lot of Writers and artists have tried to modernize the vibrant, matching bright blue quizzer and natural hat into something more in keeping with modern fashion – both in terms of clothing and variation. vibes of comic superheroes. He had question mark scars and thinly dressed women with themed names. Once, he just started wearing black lipstick and wearing a black vest and shirt I just want to unbutton my shirt to show Question mark tattoo on neck. But none of those looks last long.

So why do I like this new one? Because Mariko Tamaki and Nadia Shammas have finally found the best reason for Riddler to wear bowler gear in 2022: He’s an unstoppable threat who’s always on purpose to appear horrible. ThatShow your understanding of the character.
