And I’m taking Poison Ivy off the table. Too easy. I think I’d go with The Penguin, mostly cause that just seems like normal crimes.
Non grim-dark version of Riddler.
Like, outside of a few heavies for personal bodyguards what’s the rest of his henchpersons gonna be doing?
Riddler’s gimmick is pretty much scavenger hunts and escape rooms right? So what… set design, location scout, plumbing and electrical, carpentry, general construction, craft services for the work crews… After the clues have been hidden and the trap/escape room completed you get your paycheck and fuck off.
You watch TV or read the newspapers about the Riddler’s scheme, go work some gig work until the Riddler breaks out of Arkham and needs folks to help with the next scavenger hunt/escape/trap room.
Probably gots lots funny stories and jokes and puns to keep things fun during break time.
