VERY bad about this.
Looks like it’s time for another round of How Low Can Edward Go, and we’ve hit an
all-time low, folks. Ooh - I have something for this. (rummaging) Where is it… AHA!
(blows a siren whistle) Quite apart from that psychotic bop bag already being mated for
life like some hissing goose, are you fucking kidding me? If he didn’t beat my brains in
when he realised how superior I am to him in every way, I’d beat my own in out of sheer
boredom. Get outta here with that shit.

Anonymous asks: Why are you so pompous, Eddie? You claim that you possess an
intellect far greater than that of the average man’s. If you truly do, however, then you
should have realized by now that humility is (trails off; snores) onf ot eh greatest virtues
a man can possess. Having some pride in your yourself and your work is healthy, but
excessive price can lead to come rather nasty situations. Make of my words what you
will. Think of this merely as the advice of a concerned friend.
Oh dear, I dozed off. (yawns) What was it you were saying?

apartmentofperpetualvirginity asks: What’s your favourite film? I’m genuinely curious.
Oh my, now there’s a moniker that wears you rather than you wearing it. (exhales)
Right, I have no favourite film as my tastes are varied and ever-evolving. However, in an
attempt to placate the ravenous masses, I’ll pull a random film out of the ether… 12
Angry Men. There you go. My favourite film, 100% true for the next thirty seconds.

Anonymous asks: Who was your first girlfriend/boyfriend? Could you tell us about them?
His name was Mellors, and he was my gardener. I still get choked up when I see a
patch of forget-me-nots. Oh wait, that wasn’t me. Nevermind.

laurenworcestershiresauce asks: I simply adore your wardrobe, if you don’t mind me
saying so. You’re certainly one of the best dressed villains out there. Do you make your
own clothes, or do you have a crack team of henches doing that for you? I imagine it
isn’t easy finding question-mark print menswear in a department store.
I don’t give a rat’s ass what anyone else does, but Cobblepot, Harvey Dent, and my
illustrious self all go to the same tailor. Not like it’s difficult - the trick is to not be a D-List
villain making costumes in your Mom’s basement. Burlap and straw… honestly. Some
people have no pride.

elzahchan asks: Hello, Mr. Riddler! I was just wondering, what is your opinion on
Batman?
He’s a man who spends a lot of time in a big rubber suit, and all that that entails.

Anonymous asks: Do you believe that there are varying degrees in types of
intelligence? For example, someone is gifted in the arts and can create magnificent
paintings, but cannot solve a simple math problem, meanwhile a great mathematician
can’t draw a straight line. Can these people be considered intelligent?
AND
valoscope asks: Do you agree with Gardner’s theory of multiple intelligences? If so, do
you value them all equally? Thank you.
I consider intelligence to be retention of knowledge and application of said knowledge: a
quickness, an edge, the way reasoning and comprehension are used to formulate new
ideas and applications. It’s not about how many facts you can cram in your head: most
anyone can do that. It’s what you do with the data that counts. Of course I make value
judgments about intelligence: if everyone could say they were intelligent, or find
validation that they’re some kind of genius, then these defining words are useless. That
would ultimately make all brains equal and they are absolutely not. If you were behind
the door when the brains were handed out, own up to your shortcomings and show a
willingness to learn. A man like me will respect that far more than if you try to play at
being a genius - don’t think I can’t immediately see when your intelligence has more
holes than a fine Swiss cheese.

nottheusualalice asks: As it turns out, you’re a hard one to put questions to – without
being redundant, anyway, but here’s one that came to mind that I figured I’d ask: How
do you feel about superheroes who hide their identity? Especially when you and many
of the other rogues have your identities known by the general public?
It makes a kind of sense; I imagine they hide so they can get groceries without having to
carry everyone’s stuff to their car. Such a big, strong boy aren’t you? We all know how
you like to help, teehee, can you take this heavy one, too? Thanks.
No one would assume that kind of altruism from the Rogues, since the odds of getting
brained with a can of tomato soup are pretty good, even under normal circumstances.

Anonymous asks: That girl who worked in the bookshop - What happened there? How
did the date go? Why don’t you see each other again, or did you?
I have no idea what you’re talking about; that reminds me of a funny story, though. I
once knocked Jervis Tetch out cold with a first edition of Proust in a bookstore. The
woman who owned the place gratefully sold it to me at a discount since he was being a
creep, as per usual. Not why I did it, however - I just heard him talking and the book
simply flew from my fingers as if possessed. (chuckles) That’s funny. Don’t you think
that’s funny?

murderermarv asks: What happens after you kill Batman?
AND
zombiocide asks: Eddie (I hope it’s okay to call you that), there is something that has
been bugging me for a while. In your earlier years, you seem to be more focused on
besting the bat, just proving that you’re more intelligent. In more recent years, however,
you’ve become a little more… bloodthirsty. It seems you’ve switched goals from beating
batman to killing him. What caused you to change in motives? Anything in specific, or
have you just grown bored with him and want to move on? Thank you.
You’d have to give me an excellent reason to kill him, because playing games is far
more fun. God, why would I want to kill him? The rogues would be stuck with the
B-Team of heroes, or, worse, reduced to squabbling amongst ourselves. Random chaos
is fun, but complete mayhem gets boring fast. And no, don’t call me Eddie.
