#gotham city sirens riddler

[riddle-me-ri]

Idk why but I LOVE the idea of the riddlers Having a dog that is there best friend and major weakness (I imagine most of there dynamics would be similar to Holt and cheddar from Brooklyn 99) but what do you think? How would the riddlers be with a pet dog?

a/n: ohh a few of them would be so happy…some…not so much lmao, you’ll see

Content Warning: none really, I don't think lol

The Riddlers with a Pet Dog Headcanons

Arkhamverse Riddler: 

- No, nope, absolutely not!

- He hasn't the time or a means for a…filthy reckless dog!

- Edward can't waste time to train it or feed it or play with it (he barely feeds himself)

- He also doesn't want some mangy mutt messing with his tools or making a mess in his shop.

- That isn't to say he's never wanted to have one, ever…every little boy dreams of owning a pet, or especially a dog.

- But like many other things…Edward has just grown to be too good for certain things.

Reevesverse/Dano Riddler:

- I can see Edward easily getting overwhelmed…

- Even if the dog has a calming demeanor…just to have another living breathing thing in his vicinity (other than his rats, of course)

- Edward knows the bare minimum of taking care of a dog…but he's just unsure of the dog's personality at first. 

- If Ed isn't all in on his plan yet, with time and patience, he does become very grateful to have a loving and loyal companion. 

- The dog often protects Ed when they go out on walks and scares muggers away. 

- He doubted he would ever come to own a dog like most proper children do…but better late than never it seems. 

Gotham Riddler: 

- Most likely to adopt/gain his pet dog from picking him up off the street. 

- Not without some arguments from his inner self about how the last thing they need to worry about is a dog. 

- Ed does all the research. What type of breed it could be, mannerisms, how to care, what to feed them, etc. 

- Of course, he also teaches the dog all sorts of tricks--he's gotta be the smartest dog in Gotham. 

- (Definitely wants his dog to be smarter than Oswald's)

- (Also tries to refrain from naming the dog Oz)

- (If he does, he'll insist its for the the Wizard from the Wizard of Oz)

BTAS Riddler: 

- Much like Gotham Riddler, he'll definitely have fun training the dog and teaching it various tricks. 

- Also most likely to build obstacle courses for the pupper as well!

- Has debated entering his dog into dog shows (likely will if he wasn't…a wanted criminal)

- Ed loves his doggo and has always wondered what it would be like to have one. 

- He's probably one of the better dog dads out of all the Riddlers

- Definitely one of those people that dogs just love automatically (and no it's not just me showing favoritism shhh)

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler: 

- At first, he is likely against owning one..

- Eddie can't be bothered to take care of something that doesn't revolve around him or benefit him. 

- Plus, like Arkham Riddler, he just doesn't want to waste his time tending to a dog. 

- If he did have any, he would likely only train them as a means of protection or to use as a distraction. 

- Ed will do the most bare minimum of care for the dogs, again likely to just use them for some overall plan. 

Gotham City Sirens Riddler:

- He's the dad that says he doesn’t want a dog, but becomes best friends with the dog. 

- Eddie will definitely train the dog to search and hunt for clues like a loyal basset hound. 

- He treats his dog much, much better than he does most people (which may not say a whole lot but…you know what I mean)

- One of those dog owners were the owner, and the dog started looking like each other and mimicking each other.

- He likely takes his dog with him everywhere, not just for the sake of clues but because he trusts no one else with them. 

Telltale Riddler: 

- Edward feels he's much too old to take care of a dog.

- However, I imagine he does have fond memories of owning dogs in his youth. 

- I can see him appreciating a dog's intelligence and loyalty to their owners. 

- His dogs were always the most well-behaved but also curious like their owner. 

- Every now and again, he does miss a couple of his dogs, especially in the rare moments he feels really lonely. 

- Edward is glad he was able to give them a decent life before he became…what he is now.

Young Justice Riddler: 

- Somewhat like Dano Riddler, he's a little overwhelmed. 

- But Eddie is also super ecstatic.

- Assuming this, Ed also had an abusive dad (or parents), he's living out a childhood dream finally having a dog. 

- Eddie doesn't let them out of his sight and definitely takes a ton of pictures. 

- He enjoys training and teaching the dog tricks like other Riddlers. Of course, his dog has to be brilliant! 

- Lives up to being a proud Dog Dad

Hush (DCAU) Riddler: 

- Didn't want a dog but became the dog's favorite 2.0

- Like Gotham, his dog is likely a stray that followed him home after walking back to his lair after a run-in with Batman. 

- Ed does take care of the stray, and a bond does surely develop. 

- The dog even sometimes comes up and tries to protect him from Batman, much to Batman and Edward's surprise. 

- When this happens, Eddie gives the doggo a big reward. 

- It just feels nice to have someone he can depend on and not judge him.

California Girls we’re undeniable

[morgangalaxy43]

Okay so, four bisexuals walk into a bar…

[questionable-disarray]

I have a lot of thoughts about this funky little green man

[estuporious]

𝐁𝐑𝐆: 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐖𝐎.

[batmans-malewife]

weird little facts about my rogues cuz thats funner than actually making lore for them

catwoman doesnt have many friends but she does have a little family of street kids reminiscent of the batfam that she teaches how to steal and stuff

riddler and scarecrow are notably neutral toward each other but harley keeps trying to set them up and they keep going on awkward dinner dates with each other to keep her happy

on the scarecrow note, hes kind of like a gotham city cryptid when in costume, like people report sightings of him to the conspiracy blogs and stuff. they call him the weeping scarecrow and if you befriend him he gives you little trinkets like a crow

harley is a huge gamer but she just plays like wii sports resort and stuff. her scores on wii table tennis are scary high

catwoman does quadrobics

poison ivy and harley are technically homeless but they crash so much at catwomans apartment that theyre basically just all roommates. they dont pay rent though and selina keeps threatening to kick them out but never does

harley and joker only actually dated in high school but he made a huge deal of it for years and kept trying to get back with her

scarecrow and killer moth are friends

riddler and harley quinn are also friends, they went to high school together and also dated when they were teens but it only lasted for like two weeks

riddler is constantly moving between apartments and convinces penguin to let him stay in the iceberg lounge or give him money sometimes when he cant make rent. he owes him like, a lot of money at this point and has no intent to actually pay it off

catwoman follows stray cats around sometimes for fun to see where they go. they never do anything very interesting

[skye707]

Riddlers opinion on City Sirens Ed who gave up being Riddler and is just detective?

What a loser. World's biggest brain, and he's getting orange cats out of trees.

Lame.

Pretty cool of him to solve this not-a-murder mystery though.

[bluejay-the-geek]

DC characters/moments as Tortured Poets Department songs/lyrics bc i have a light concussion and am very bored (in the album's chronological order)

(disclaimer before someone is triggered- some of the lyrics are taken out of context or interpreted differently than what they actually mean. this is just for fun don't come for me. also this gets pretty angsty towards the end so proceed with caution)

"I was supposed to be sent away, But they forgot to come and get me"- tim drake very obviously bc neglecting parents/boarding school

"I love you, it's ruining my life"- early harleen quinzel about joker

"My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys"- the whole song is just harley quinn idc (pre-harlivy of course)

"Now I'm down bad, cryin' at the gym"- nightwing def cried at the gym at some point

"I stopped tryna make him laugh, stopped tryna drill the safe"- dick grayson about bruce after moving out of wayne manor

"You swore that you loved me, but where were the clues? I died on the altar waitin' for the proof, You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days"- remember the whole selena leaving bruce at the alter thing? yeah

"I'd rather burn my whole life down, Than listen to one more second of all this bitchin' and moanin', I'll tell you something 'bout my good name, It's mine alone to disgrace"- I'm just getting red hood vibes from this no specific reason

"Now, pretty baby, I'm runnin' back home to you, Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to"- almost every gotham rouge to batman right after escaping arkham/prison. especially joker, catwoman and riddler lol

"At the park where we used to sit on children's swings, Wearing imaginary rings"- this one specific panel of tim and steph

"And this city reeks of driving myself crazy"- everyone who's ever been to gotham

"All my girls got their lace and their crimes, And your cheating husband disappeared, well, No one asks any questions here"- it's giving gotham city sirens

"Am I allowed to cry?"- maybe it's just me but i thought about clark kent discovering he had different biological parents and grieving about them even though the parents that actually raised him are alive and well

"So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street, Crash the party like a record scratch as I scream, "Who's afraid of little old me?", You should be" red hood's debut

"The scandal was contained, The bullet had just grazed, At all costs, keep your good name, You don't get to tell me you feel bad"- jason todd about the whole making batman choose between him and joker at the end of under the red hood

"You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me"- this is 100% Bane bc he was born and grew up in prison for a crime he didn't even do!! also cassandra cain and damian wayne

(^this is actually the lyric that inspired this entire post lol)

"You caged me and then you called me crazy, I am what I am 'cause you trained me, So who's afraid of me? Who's afraid of little old me?"- kind of a stretch but remember that time they put jason in arkham?

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)- again the whole song is harley about joker

"Your arson's match, your somber eyes, And I'll still see it until I die, You're the loss of my life"- bruce about jason. out of all the robins that died, jason's death hit him the hardest. even now when bruce sees red hood, he still sees that happy little kid that he lost

"I can read your mind, "She's having the time of her life", There in her glittering prime, The lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night, I can show you lies"- bc we all know Nightwing is always dying on the inside, and it was very true in the discowing era bc it was right after he left the manor

"'Cause I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit"- jason pre-bruce

"I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like the plague"- ok so we got joker about batman, cupid about green arrow, hush about bruce wayne... and a bunch of others but it's too many to write lol

"And you deserve prison, but you won't get time"- fucking tarantula that bitch

"The smallest man who ever lived"- the atom! not any of the messages in the song tho ofc he's just very small

"What if I told you I'm back? The hospital was a drag, Worst sleep that I ever had, I circled you on a map ,I haven't come around in so long, But I'm coming back so strong"- joker to batman after escaping arkham again

"I haven't come around in so long, But I'm making a comeback to where I belong"- jason coming back to protect crime alley after being away from gotham for years after his resurrection

"Even if it's handcuffed, I'm leavin' here with you"- batman and catwoman<3

I Hate It Here- imagine the whole song as homeless jason todd taking shelter in the library💔

"I built a legacy that you can't undo, But when I count the scars, there's a moment of truth, That there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you"- bruce built a legacy as batman, and created a huge family he loves, and it hurts to think about but he wouldn't have any of it if joe chill hadn't murdered his parents

"Please, I've been on my knees, Change the prophecy, Don't want money, Just someone who wants my company"- kid bruce grew up all alone in a huge mansion, but he'd give all his billions away in a heartbeat if he could change his parent's fate

"So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst"- ok so you might think i chose cassandra cain for this only bc of the name, BUT- cass notices things others don't (like cassandra the prophet...), bc of her skills and abilities she is feared the most (Ik the song said "she feared" not "she is feared" but idc lol). like if someone knew so much about you just by looking you'd think she's some kind of a witch too

Peter- picture this: jason had a childhood friend back at crime alley. he left to live in wayne manor and become robin, and said goodbye to his old friend, promising they'd reunite again in the future. 3 years pass and his friend reads an article about jason's death. now listen to the song and try not to cry (if someone writes that fic send me the link IMMEDIATELY this has been haunting me) here's the link to the song with lyrics bc ik you're too lazy to look it up. also jason's middle name is peter:)

"Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless, Excellent fun 'til you get to know her"- brucie wayne vs batman

"Started with a kiss, "Oh, we must stop meeting like this" But it always ends up with a town car speeding, Out the drive one evening"- catwoman and batman of course<3 the town car is the batmobile speeding out the batcave to catch catwoman (to arrest her or make out with her? probs both)

Robin- ofc we have to go robins for robin! imo that's bruce to dick and jason's robins, and dick to damian when he was his robin. dick and jason- despite the hard times they went through that led to them becoming robins, they were still mostly happy curious kids that run around covered in mud while bruce tried (unsuccessfully) to maintain the innocence they had left. as for damian- it's more of a stretch than the other 2 bc he had no childlike innocence before robin, but dick tried his hardest to extract the child that was hidden inside the ruthless assassin the league created, finally allowing him to experience normal kid things. idk

"He said, "I'm not a donor but, I'd give you my heart if you needed it", She rolled her eyes and said, "You're a professional""-to me this is clark kent completely in love and lois with her sass

"And at last, She knew what the agony had been for"- almost every hero. they suffer, they sacrifice, they fight, and sometimes they want to give up- but at the end of the day, they save lives, so it's all worth it

and that's it folks! feel free to add more/share your insights!!

sorry for any spelling/grammer mistakes, English isn't my first language plus like the title said i had a minor head injury a few days ago and I'm tired soI'm not proofreading this bc I'm going to sleep rn goodnight to all✌️

[warrenwaskilledbyadeer]

I just want to give the Riddler a hug

Screw all the interpretations that make him a homicidal maniac, it makes him a boring wannabe Joker/Jigsaw

My boy Eddy is just a chill attention-seeking maniac who likes that Batman is the only one who can actually solve his riddles and likes the challenge of duking out their wits against each other by seeing how many different ways he can rob banks before Batman figures out his latest method so then he has to develop a new one

Just some good intellectual exercise, not murder and death and destruction

[riddle-me-ri]

With various riddlers, what kind of dere do you think each one is? (Ex:kuudere, yandere,etc.) Arkhamverse Eddie is a definitely a tsundere.

A/N: okay okay so I had to go out and do some research for this one. Cause for the little bit of a year that I spent dabbling into some anime and manga, I thought there was only like four or five dere personalities, only to realize…there’s like over a dozen. So after some research, I feel like I can now appropriately respond rip. Also, some of these personality types depend on a romantic relationship while others don’t…I’m gonna try my best rip. These are my opinions based on my perspectives of both the personality types and the different Riddlers, feel free to agree to disagree but like I don’t wanna cause any crippling discourse adffghh please don’t come at me I’m just a wee anxious socially awkward nerd.

The Riddler’s Dere Personality Types (based on someone who knows the bare minimum):

Arkhamverse Riddler: 

So, I do full heartedly agree Arkhamverse Eddie has strong tsundere tendencies. We’re all painfully aware of his loud bravado and egomaniac antics in order to actually protect himself from getting hurt because he’s actually incredibly insecure. He’ll scream, rave, rant, insult, and treat anyone and everyone poorly in order to lift himself up. However, I do believe that if someone can see through his illusions of grandeur but still recognize the inherent brilliance of Ed and recognizes that for him (so he doesn’t have to constantly build himself up) he could be more open, just I wouldn’t expect it to happen over night.

Reevesverse/Dano Riddler: 

Dano Riddler was sorta hard to find a good match, I could’ve easily gone with fandom and been like yeah, he’s a yandere (which I can see where y’all get that from, and like if we’re following the storyline that he does/did love Batman). But again, I did my research lol. And from what I’ve seen in the film and the first book of Year One. I’m leaning more towards Dandere (aww dano riddler is a dandere sorry moving on…) Dandere’s are the quiet asocial types that avoid conversation when applicable cause they’re worried about causing conflict or make trouble. In Year One, obviously, we see him struggle interacting with people face to face, and every time he even attempts it, it seems to backfire. UNTIL he dons the Riddler persona and uses that as a cover to express his true emotions and motivations. 

Gotham Riddler: 

This will be mostly referring to Season 1 Ed, I have seen the show up until the start of Season 3, you girl got super annoyed at the Lee/Ed bullshit and it was hard to stomach. Petty I know, but for all the love and adoration of this Eddie…I sorta can’t stand this Riddler (I know blasphemy to love one but not the other, but it’s my honest opinion…stop lowering your voice you damn dunce) ANYWAY, like…at the start I think he’s more of a deredere (someone whose overall kind, sweet, especially to someone they have a crush on or love and sometimes overly energetic) but obviously as the show progresses it’s clear to see he also has yandere tendencies (murder solves everything *finger guns*)

BTAS Riddler:

While Gotham somewhat starts out this way, my husband is a deredere through and through and I’m not saying that purely from a favoritism standpoint. Judging more so by his demeanor in Riddler’s Reform, we actually got to see how Edward interacts with a somewhat general populous. He was seen to be extremely charismatic and eccentric, albeit also shy (when flirted with) and endearing. I believe this Ed would be overall courteous of others as long as they show the same courtesy, obviously that’s not always the case and therefore he goes to the extremes. He would be kind to a fault, he won’t let someone walk over him however (lookin’ at you Mockridge). 

P.S. if I was really playing into my favoritism, I would’ve given him a kekkondere (someone who full heartedly believes in love at first sight and wants to be betrothed asap to me BUT I didn’t I showed some restraint asdffg)

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler & Twojar Riddler:

So I’m gonna cheat and combine these two, TECHNICALLY speaking they are one in the same, storyline wise, so I figured it’d be safe to give them the same personality type even if there’s like a year or two distance between them and their motivations are…odd af sometimes.

For these shitheads I’m going with Kuudere but they also have Hiyakasudere traits. 

A kuudere from my understanding is your cool, calm, and collected personality. Which these two shitheads have shown, I mean you’ve gotta be somewhat confident to just waltz around with your shirt open. That and just about every panel of Zero Year Riddler is him with a shit eating grin, even as Batman got closer and closer. They’re also extremely analytical to a fault, twojar being the extra prick he is literally crafted a whole war just get Joker to laugh and Zero Year boasted to Batman all the different variations of plans he conceived before choosing the one that ultimately lead to Zero Year. Not to mention, this Riddler’s start has him as a tactician and consultant of sorts for various corporations. 

Where the hiyakasudere traits come in is if there’s someone that’s an object of their affections. Both of them would be chronic teasers and there’s no way you can convince me otherwise. Hiyakasudere, are pretty flirtatious  and tease their love interests on an almost daily basis as their way of showing affection. 

Gotham City Sirens Riddler: 

Much like Zero Year and Twojar, Sirens Riddler I also consider to be a kuudere, but for different reasons. 

This particular Riddler is an actual reformed Riddler (not just a ploy like BTAS albeit it’s sometimes debated if he’d actual go straight or not if Batman wasn’t there). He’s also probably one of the most self aware and is constantly having to combat his colleagues and the public’s preconceived notion of who he was. So he’s very cool and calm, despite being held hostage over live animals or jumping in to protect a possible victim from an oncoming bomb. He still stays rational and constantly tries to collect the pieces his fragmented mind as he questions if him changing is even really worth it. 

Young Justice Riddler: 

I feel like once I explain this personality type, i-it will just make sense to you guys…

A Hajidere is “for someone who’s really shy or nervous around their crush.” Also “they have trouble confessing to the one they love and may often blush or faint at the sight of them making the first move.” 

Do…Do I need to say more? I know this is mostly purely fanon based on what little we’ve gathered from the three episodes he was in…but c’mon…that’s on point.  

Telltale Riddler:

Now this, asshole. 

This absolute stick in the mud asdfjk

Basically, a hindere is someone that’s extremely haughty. He carries himself proudly and with no pretense. Just imagine Arkham Ed, but actually is secure. I had a tough time deciding if Telltale would be a hindere or a tsundere, but a tsundere is described as being capable of kindness and affectionate. I don’t see that with this Ed, purely because of how far he’s gone in his deranged but damaged mind. However, hindere’s aren’t totally without hope, they can have a soft spot for a particular someone, but it has to be an absolute miracle for it to work. (plus i’m just trying to break up the monotony of my answers rip, plus we only get so much out of this one cause well…iykyk)

Hush (DCAU) Riddler: 

Bare in mind for this Riddler it’s only for the Edward BEFORE the stupid twist again ifykyk. 

Based solely on the mannerisms seen during the middle of the film, I can see him also being a hajidere if there’s a love interest involved. 

I’ve always seen this Riddler as an extension of Young Justice, if he actually made it out on his own as he got older, and continued to make a name for himself (and he did although found himself somewhat of a laughing stock). Albeit was still pretty dorky, until he decided to used that assumption people have of him to his advantage later. 

He’s able to hold conversations just fine with other people like Batman, other Rogues, GCPD. Those don’t really matter too much, Batman maybe a little more than others. However, when it comes to a crush, this poor man’s dead to rights lol

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, I think that’s my final take…I don’t even wanna admit how many drafts, look backs, and edits this took. Again, totally based on my opinions and outtakes, clearly this isn’t an overly analytical or proper research paper of any kind. This is purely just based on the vibes when reading their stories or watching their performance and taking a pinch of fanon into the equation to fill in some gaps. 

Please don’t come at me. Please don’t fight me rip, I’m tired lol. 

Thank you
