Anonymous asks: It is starkly apparent that you are in possession of a fine sense of humour and a rapier-like wit, so please, Mr. Riddler, what is your stance on comedy? Do you see it as a meaningless pass time for the mindless coddled masses, or as one of the most complex, courageous, and misunderstood arts?

EDWARD: Addisonoftheblacknote asks: I'm sorry, but I was a little disappointed in the placement of the Riddler trophies in Arkham City. They seemed to be pretty easy to spot and more often that not were out in the open. Was this intentional? Did you try to maybe make things a little easier for Batman? I felt you did such a nice job with them in Arkham Asylum, and then lowered the bar in Arkham City.
Trophies? Oh ho, you mean the litt...

And then I should call the Iceberg and see who's running the book on his likely lifespan. You see, the reason I've seen so many would-be Riddlers is that, fu...
