They use the real world view of the character, instead of how they would be viewed by the people of the DC universe. For instance, common crooks in DC should never look up at Supes and say "He's just a boyscott". They should freeze in despair at the sight of the Alien Demigod hovering over them. Only the most powerful or clever or stupid villians would be able to avoid falling to their knees in despair.<BR/><BR/>Likewise the Riddler. People remember him as the doofus from the Superfriends, so that's how they write him. <BR/><BR/>Also I doubt most of the hacks working today could make up a riddle to save their lives.

I guess on balance I would prefer that the Riddler evolve into something better than the "?-wearin' idiot," but the idiot did have a certain appeal.Tom Bonduranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07209820912557263080noreply@blogger.com
