* BigBadWannabe: Riddler keeps boasting to everyone how he's Batman's intellectual superior, and the biggest threat the Dark Knight has ever faced. At best, Riddler is an annoyance who is too self-deluded to solve a mystery as basic as finding out Batman's SecretIdentity, something Bane and Hugo Strange both found out with BoringButPractical means. Likewise, none of Riddler's death traps approach the plans of Joker and Scarecrow, who regularly threaten Gotham and beyond with their own gang. Riddler only captures a handful of people to put into deathtraps, and he has to rely on conscripts to do his dirty work. Both Batman and some of Gotham's other villains consider Riddler a nobody.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In ''Asylum'', the Riddler is insufferable for others to be around, but seems to be fairly intelligent, is able to pay compliments to others even if he's being snide while doing so, and generally is congenial as long as the topic doesn't swing around to Batman. By the time of ''City'' and ''Knight'', he is absolutely incapable of having a conversation without self-aggrandizing himself or belittling whomever he's speaking to and becomes increasingly misanthropic to the point of self-destruction. ''Origins'' sticks with his characterization from ''Asylum'' but files off some of his rougher edges given he has yet to build up an enmity with the Dark Knight.

* AbusiveParents: In his patient interviews for ''Asylum'', he comments on how his dad called him a "moron" over and over again. To prove him wrong, Edward entered a contest at school, where if he solves a nearly impossible logic problem, he gets twenty dollars. He won, but his dad demanded him to confess that he cheated. Edward denied it, only to get hit. [[spoiler:And then it turns out that Eddie actually did cheat; he just refused to believe that he was cheating.]]

Removed True Final Boss because he can actually be defeated before finishing the main game

* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:After the first three games of being merely an optional side quest boss. In ''Knight'', Riddler becomes the final boss Batman must defeat before securing the city and going into retirement. Whereas collecting the Riddler trophies were optional in the last three games, in ''Knight'', it's required to truly beat the game.]]

* {{Irony}}: Way back in ''Origins'', Edward had actually tried to piece together Batman's identity by himself, and one of his two main guesses was Bruce Wayne. When Batman's identity is finally exposed to the world in ''Knight'' though, the Riddler has been obsessing over the Caped Crusader for so long that he flat-out refuses to accept that Bruce Wayne could possibly be Batman.

** He’ll accuse Batman of cheating even when he himself cheats. He frames one of his kidnapped hostage puzzles as a straight-forward ShellGame. In actuality, the hostage is moved completely independently of the containers via an underground rail system, making the test actually impossible without Detective Mode.

** He repeatedly sneers at Batman for his reliance on his physical prowess, makes insults based on his physique, and generally champions a "brains over brawn" perspective. But many of his challenges are tests of physicality -- running an obstacle course, reaching an objective in a certain time, making quick and precise Batarang throws, etc. -- with only a very minor element of riddles or puzzles to them. He tries to justify this by claiming that Batman's failure to complete them challenges is proof of Riddler's intellectual superiority since he's the one who designed them, which is InsaneTrollLogic at its finest.
