The 1960’s Riddler’s Riddles

Known for his purple domino mask and green question mark-covered riddler costume, either as a skintight bodysuit or a business suit and bowler hat and his special question mark shaped cane, the Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and word games.
Here are some riddles from 1960s Batman:

1. What weighs six ounces, sits in a tree, and is very dangerous?
A sparrow with a machine gun.

2. How do you divide seventeen apples among sixteen people?
Make applesauce.

3. What has neither flesh, bone, nor nail yet has 4 fingers and a thumb?
A Glove.

4. The more you take away, the larger it grows. What is it?

I really enjoy riddles. Some are so simple yet so unbelievably difficult. I'm glad they made them a little bit harder in Arkham City.

The Greatest Nightwing Cosplay

This is the greatest female Nightwing cosplay I’ve ever seen. Cosplayer Eve Beauregard makes Nightwing pretty. Her nightwing costume may not be the most practical but it is incredibly striking. Love the deep blue touches on the gauntlets and belt.

Jim Carrey the Riddler

In Batman Forever it was Jim Carrey who played the Riddler. It was said that Michael Jackson had previously opted hard to land the role but was ignored. Matthew Broderick also expressed interest in the role. The Riddler also got a name in this movie as well which was Edward Nygma. The Riddler costume was a spandex green body suit with question marks, the cane, the mask and the bowler hat. For some strange reason whenever Edward Nygma changed into the Riddler his hair would change to red as well. So if you decide you would sooner be Edward then the Riddler, then grab the lab coat, mess up the hair, bug the eyes out and become the wacky scientist.

The 1960s Riddler Costumes

In the 1960s Batman Series, the Riddler was played by Frank Gorshin and John Astin. The Riddler was an arch-nemesis of Batman. Riddler is the original clue-dropping criminal. He delights in challenging Batman and Robin with his puzzles that he leaves behind at crime scenes, always pointing to where he will be next.

Frank Gorshin The Riddler Spandex Costume

Frank Gorshin The Riddler Suit

Frank Gorshin's Riddler had 2 riddler costumes that he would wear. One was simply the green jumpsuit with the large question mark in the middle of it, and the other was a suit with the bowler hat and white gloves.

John Astin The Riddler

John Astin's Riddler character only wore the green jumpsuit, but his Riddler character however introduced the Riddler's cane which was basically a stick with a question mark as the handle. Finding a Riddler costume may be a little harder than you think, so you can buy a green spandex bodysuit, or you could always take a green blazer, using a black marker draw your own question marks in different directions on it or make the question marks out of black material.

How to Create a Batman Beyond Cosplay Costume

If you want to create a batman beyond costume of your own instead of buying one, cool, then this is your article. I listed the basic steps below:
1. Get a long black spandex full body suit;

4. You can tie the cape of add velcro or a string to tie to neck;
5. Get paper mache and form the eyes and nose, add the horns - let it dry.
6. Paint the mask and allow it to dry.

Remember to make the ears of the costume sharp, or you may look like this:

Dick Grayson Nightwing

When his circus acrobat family was brutally murdered, Dick Grayson was taken in by billionaire and bat-friendly super hero Bruce Wayne. Bruce shared his secret life as Batman with the young boy and eventually molded him into Robin—the Dark Knight’s partner in Gotham. With years of training he became a master at many different fighting styles and acrobatics. He eventually wear his nightwing costume and left Batman's side to fight crime on his own as Nightwing.

Dick stays true to what he learned as Robin while coming into his own as a respected member of the super hero pantheon. His code, like his mentor’s, is simple—if you’re breaking the law on his turf, watches out. Anyone who doesn’t can expect a short and most assuredly painful trip to Arkham.

Batman Beyond Cosplay

This is the greatest batman beyond cosplay I’ve ever seen. I was so impressed with his batman beyond costume. It was the black and red contrast that looked striking. His armor, made of Kevlar, for Motor-Cross motorcycle racers, was truly built for action.

The Newest Batman Beyond Suit

 

For anyone who has read issue 20 of Batman, we get to see the first prototype for the Batman Beyond suit which I think was pretty cool. Although Bruce won't be using it again anytime soon because Lucius explains that it will be 20 years until the suit is cost effective :(. He also said there was some other reason which he'd explain another time. 

 

Batman Beyond was probably my favorite DC animated series on television when I was younger. Preferred it a lot more to Batman TAS, something about Terry McGinnis really interested me when I was a little kid. 

 

For me the Batman Beyond costume is the greatest Batman costume I've ever seen, which is why I worked so hard to unlock it in injustice. And let me tell you, for those who don't have this skin for Batman, you guys are missing out; it's too awesome.

The Future Batman Terry McGinnis

Terry McGinnis is the future batman in Batman Beyond series or the Tomorrow Knight as the citizens of Gotham have donned him. Terry developed a sense of independence that often put him at odds with the world long before he became Batman. Terry hasn't come to terms with the death of his father who was killed by some thugs. When he saw the opportunity to become Batman and avenge his father's death, Terry grabbed it. Although he respects Bruce and looks to his years of experience for guidance, Terry has a tendency to defy his bounds, and overstep Bruce's instructions. Quite often, Terry learns the hard way that he should listen to his mentor.

Terry's batman beyond suit is host to a lot of technologically advanced gadgetry. His batsuit can turn invisible, plus he has grappling hooks, a wide array of batarangs, circular spinning blades. Also on the tips of his gloved fingers are two amplifiers which, when pressed against a window or wall, can help Batman hear the conversation in the next room. Also his cowl has a two way radio, as well as special settings in his eye mask.

Cool Batman Beyond Suit

 

Batman hasn’t had that many different looks over the years. But the Batman beyond suit is special, not only because of the red bat symbol, the lack of a cape, and the iconic red wings, but also the fact that the new Batsuit, when compared to the previous incarnations offers a tremendous strength upgrade which allows Terry to go head to head in ways Bruce never could.

  

It's not unlimited strength, but it does allow him to take on some giant thugs when spotted, and when you're just starting out as Batman...you're going to get spotted. No more Bat-grappling when you have rocket boosters on your heels and gliders to sweep across the night skies with. Hell, with this batman beyond costume he can put his thumb on a glass window and hear a conversation being had on the other side! While he may not don as many of the classic gadgets as the Batman of yore, it's more than fair to say the suit itself in Batman Beyond IS a gadget...and quite an awesome one at that.
