"When is a murderer not a murderer? When you look the other way. When is a hero not a hero? When they take off their mask."
"I spend a lot of time thinking. Asking myself questions. Lately I've been thinking about innocence. I have a certain past. One of harm and criminal misdeeds. I've been trying to make sense of what I've done, and who I am. Am I not more than my suit? My moniker? My deeds? What's in a name, Gotham? Some of us lead double lives. Some of us are true. But I'm realizing, it's about truth. Who we think we are, and what happens when the lie of that is revealed. My viewers, if life is but a stage, are the roles assigned? When is a murderer not a murderer? When is a hero not a hero?"
"HELLO CITIZENS! We're friends, right? And friends speak plainly, no? Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Really, Gotham is a city of proposed saints, doing their best to aim through their glass houses. We all like to pretend our lovely glass houses are clean. But if you knew the inspector was on his way, what would you do to keep him out?"
"It appears violence is baked into the fabric of our very lives these days. Don't fret, my little chickens. All things must come to an end, dear Gotham. And over time, answers give way to new mysteries. And when original lessons are forgotten, all we have are the questions we started with. We're back to the beginning: When is a murderer not a murderer?"
"GOOOOOOD Evening, Gotham City. It's the Witching Hour, and that means all of the creepy crawlers are out. Spiders and Spirits and Bats, Oh My! But will the real menace of Gotham please stand up? CITIZEN CRIMINALS! What a concept. Well, Riddle Me This, Gotham! If justice is blindfolded, then who tied the knot? And who's got their finger on her lovely scales? Because when the scales fell from Saul's eyes, he saw clearly."
"Three tragedies in 24 hours. A trinity, if you will. Trinities are holy. Good things come in threes. Third time's the charm. But nothing good comes out of Gotham, does it? If this is a sermon, then let me say what Gotham needs is an exorcism. Who's up to the task? I dabble in numerology, as it happens. The thing about devils is that they disguise themselves before our very eyes. The road to Hell and all those Good Intentions. Batman, Batman, why hast thou forsaken me? You never answered my question. Riddle Me This........ When is a murderer not a murderer? The bodies are piling up, Batman."
"Riddle me this, Gotham, since you've tuned in once again to my little show. Who can still be surprised at something as tragic as a bombing in Gotham? A tourist. Truly, my Gothamites, does a day pass without tragedy? Does anyone truly know what lies in the heart of the person next to you? Doesn't take the world's greatest detective to figure that one out. And speaking of........ Riddle Me This, Batman. What is the call that can only be heard after the fat lady sings?"
"Give up? Yes.......... it seems many of you have. But don't worry. With the dawn comes clarity. The light catches us all. For nothing is hidden, that shall not be manifest, nor anything secret, that shall not be known and come to light. My dear denizens, my stalwart citizens, my weary friends, fear not. We're just getting started."
"Ah yes, another morning in a beautiful little town called Gotham City. You're all tuning into my little pirate radio, trying to get the good word on a bad situation. They want to shut us down and shut us out but we're just too much to resist. So I creep through your airwaves, right up to your front door. Who am I? Well no need for mystery there. It's your faithful host, your neighbor, The Riddler here. Asking questions to answer YOUR questions. That's the thing, isn't it? The thing you know is creeping over the horizon. Do you have questions, Gotham? I think you do. The answer's always there, if you look for it. Riddle Me This, Gotham City listeners. When is a criminal not a criminal?"
"Gotham, are you out there? If you're just tuning in, allow me to introduce myself.......... This is RIDDLER RADIO, and I have a question for you, Gotham. When is a killer not a killer?"
"It can be cruel, poetic, or blind. But when it's denied, it's your violence you will find." - The Riddler
"I am a 5 letter word and a fruit. Take away my 1st letter, I am a crime. Take away my 1st and 2nd letter, I am an animal. Take away my 1st and 5th letter, I am a form of music. What am I?"
"A man rode into town on Tuesday and then left 2 days later on Tuesday. How is this possible?"
"There is a four digit number in which the first digit is one fourth of the last digit, the second digit is 6 times the first digit, and the third digit is the second digit plus 3. What is it?"
"When may a man's coat pocket be empty and yet have something in it?"
"I have a scroll but no quills, a neck and ribs but no legs, a saddle but no horse, and a bridge but no water. What am I?"
"Never resting, never still. Moving silently from hill to hill. It does not walk, run or trot, All is cool where it is not. What is it?"
"The more of me you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?"
"Mark was born on December 28th, yet his birthday is always in the summer. How is this possible?"
"What is something nobody wants to have, yet nobody wants to lose?"
"What does a liar do when they're dead?"
"I can be cracked, I can be made, I can be told, and I can be played?"
"You're running a race, and you've just passed the person in 2nd place. Where are you now?"
"A man wishes to enter a nightclub, but he doesn't know the password required for entry. The man observes others being let in, talking to the bouncer. The bouncer says "Twelve" and the visitor says "Six", and is let in. The man now thinks he understands the pattern, and walks up to the entrance. The bouncer says "Ten" and the man says "Five". The man is rudely turned away. But why?"
"Imagine you're in a room without a door or windows. How do you escape?"
"The smartest man alive will always overlook what?"
"Why does the end of the world never come?"
