All Riddler Messages In The Batman Trailer Explained

What do all of Riddler’s clues imply in The Batman‘s second trailer? Assuming essential villain duties for Matt Reeves’ The Batman is Paul Dano as Edward Nashton, a.ok.a. The Riddler. Famous for his penchant of forsaking teasing clues, The Batman‘s Riddler did not disappoint when the movie’s first trailer launched again in August 2020. Riddler left the riddle, “what does a liar do when they’re dead?” to which the coded reply replied “he lies still.” Riddler additionally alluded towards corruption in Gotham City with, “what is the price for your blind eye?” and the cartoon owl greetings card was taken by many as a Court of Owls nod.

The Batman‘s second trailer, launched as a part of DC’s 2021 FanDome occasion, accommodates an entire new number of phrase video games to infuriate followers over the approaching months. The new footage accommodates 3 essential items to the puzzle. First is a riddle Paul Dano orates as a part of the trailer’s voiceover, the second is a criminal offense scene message, and the final appears to be an investigation board Bruce Wayne has assembled on the Bat-cave’s flooring. Here’s the whole lot we are able to make out from the recent clues.

“What’s black, and blue, and dead all over?” One risk is that Riddler’s spoken puzzle refers to Batman himself, however on two totally different ranges. On the floor, it is an open menace to Bruce Wayne – a promise to go away his corpse battered and bruised. Digging deeper, it is also a reasonably correct description of Batman’s frame of mind in The Batman. On the surface, he is wearing black, on the within he is blue (i.e. depressing), and each side of him are equally lifeless, emotionally talking, with Bruce not caring what his campaign prices, and Batman displaying no mercy to his enemies. Alternatively, the riddle could also be focused towards the GCPD. Paul Dano’s Riddler will likely be gunning for Gotham City’s corruption in The Batman, and we all know certainly one of his victims is town’s police commissioner. This riddle could possibly be the clue Nashton leaves forward of the commissioner’s loss of life, with “black” referring to his go well with and “blue” his police place.

Riddler’s second clue in The Batman‘s FanDome trailer is picked up at a criminal offense scene – “see you in hell.” Though there’s not an terrible lot to go on right here, possibly Riddler is simply referencing the mutual destruction he and Batman are heading towards. Both males have accepted their respective fates, and as one pursues the opposite, hell is the one attainable conclusion. But the writing itself is mysterious, painted on one thing vaguely resembling sandpaper. This could possibly be a type of hidden messages solely legible when the paper is uncovered to flame – therefore “see you in hell.” More possible, this is only one aspect of a bigger riddle, and The Batman‘s second trailer does not present all the items. The the rest is likely to be The Batman‘s model of the traditional “heaven or hell” riddle, the place one door results in the previous, and one the latter. One guard solely tells the reality, the second solely lies, however you may solely ask one query.

The trailer’s last assortment of clues is the unconventional investigation board Robert Pattinson stands within the middle of. Mitchell, Colson and Savage are all names of Riddler’s victims. Don Mitchell Jr. is the Gotham mayor Riddler executed with tape in The Batman‘s first trailer, and who Bruce and Selina attend the funeral for. Gil Colson is Gotham’s district lawyer, performed by Peter Sarsgaard, who had an envelope connected to his physique within the 2020 trailer. Pete Savage acts as commissioner of the GCPD. “No more lies” is the slogan Riddler paints throughout Mitchell’s workplace and corpse, and “renewal is a lie” could possibly be Riddler warning Bruce Wayne that he cannot escape the previous by “renewing” into Batman. The most vital clue, nevertheless, is “sins of my father.” Riddler’s greetings card from the primary trailer hinted towards the Court of Owls, who Thomas Wayne was concerned with in DC comics. Paul Dano’s character appears to know Bruce’s darkish household secrets and techniques, and could also be exposing Thomas Wayne’s Court of Owls sins.
