What time is it when rumors about the new Batman film "The Dark Knight" points to a possible new character appearence? Time to make a new custom!! Although I know this is not a site to discuss about the film, I must say that when rumors about A. Michaels Halls role in TDK pointed almost everithing, from J.P. Valley to Kirk Langstrom, including The Riddler, I began to wonder how could the Riddler fit Nolan´s style. I imagined the Riddler gone "real-world", but not too much, keeping his colours to look like a comic super-villian. I decided his suit would go a darker green, and I would get rid of all those kistch "?" in his jacket. He would keep them just in his tie, the charasteristic bowler hat hand the "?"-shaped cane. I customized a Marvel Legends Proffessor Xavier to get the Riddler. He looks like much the way we are used to, so it´s not the ultimate custom, nor an amazing new look, but it is quite easy (just needed to re-shape the hands, paint and do a miliput hat, which was by far the most difficult) and I enjoyed it. I didn`t feel skillfull enough to do his hair, so I left him with that clever-bald-guy look. I used sunglasses (Marvel Legends Blade´s glasses) instead of a mask. So, what do you think? Any advice/comments?

Hmmm very interesting Deion, It is hard to imagine what a "real life" Riddler would look like. The ? symbols are very comic book and cartoon like so even trying to incorporate that symbol into a supposed serious character is a feat in it's self. With that said, I do like the approach you've taken here, all the characteristics have been included yet their subtle enough to keep it from appearing goofy. Great job over all. Will
