It is always interesting to see what could have been in regard to a character's appearance in film, but it is safe to say that the version of the Riddler's costume that was made in the end was the best choice for Matt Reeves' vision.

Many came to the movie's defense though, expressing interest in its similarities to the Zodiac Killer, and with Dano's disturbing portrayal receiving so much praise upon its release, a lot of negative opinions have since changed. Given that it was such a departure from prior representations, some took to social media to compare The Batman character to The Gimp from Pulp Fiction and even Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

There were mixed reactions to the costume initially, with some laughing at the Riddler's appearance. Check out the images in Dillon's post below: Dillon shares that while his main responsibility was the Batsuit, he created these Riddler concepts for and with Jacqueline Duran. As opposed to the question mark surrounded by symbols, the other designs included a question mark in the center of what appears to be a scope, as well as a question mark planted in the middle of a target. Now, Glyn Dillon, one of the costume designers for The Batman, is sharing some of the concept art for the Riddler's costume on Instagram and they contain different logos.

With a costume that completely hides his face and includes large clothes, The Batman's Riddler looks different than any other interpretation. While previous live-action iterations of the Riddler, most notably Jim Carrey's in the 1995 film Batman Forever, have involved a level of camp and exaggeration, Dano's performance was distinctively chilling. Fans of the comics are familiar with the character of Edward Nashton, known as the Riddler, and his depiction as a criminal mastermind, taunting Batman and law enforcement by incorporating puzzles, which can be deciphered as clues, into his crimes.
