Paul Dano's Riddler in the new film #TheBatman (2021), starring Robert Pattinson, directed by Matt Reeves, seems to take deliberate inspiration from real-life (never caught) serial killer Zodiac, especially the version depicted in David Fincher's 2007 film. What are the actual terrifying inspirations for this version of the #Riddler from the history of true crime, and what does that tell us about this Riddler's plot against Batman in Gotham? In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Zach Huddleston dive deep into the dark background of murderers like the Zodiac Killer, the Unabomber, the Golden State Killer, Jack the Ripper, the Pennsylvania neck-bomb plotters depicted in Evil Genius, and more. Why is this version of the Riddler so dark compared to past versions? And what do the parallels to David Fincher's Zodiac tell us about the mystery plot of The Batman movie? And why is this Riddler so obsessed with duct tape?
