The riddles from The Batman aside, Paul Dano truly changed the Riddler for the better, and he perfectly fits inside Reeves' dark universe.Welcome to /r/BatmanArkham! This is a subreddit for the Batman: Arkham universe, including Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, Batman: Arkham Knight and all mobile/comics tie-ins. But I think you see him going through a very internal tortured experience in his characters. Reeves sang the actor's praises, saying in the same interview "He's brilliant in so much. This caused some problems for the actor at first, but with the help of the costuming department, that was quickly resolved. In addition, There Will be Blood actor Paul Dano also suggested to Reeves that his character should wrap himself in plastic wrap in order to leave no trace DNA evidence at his crime scene, a suggestion Reeves loved.
