Batman investigates when the Riddler abruptly kills a random person with no riddles involved. Batman soon learns that the Riddler has evolved past riddles and become a much more deadly threat by always knowing the answers to every situation he is in. In the past, Edward's father punished him for anything less than perfect grades in school, and despite his studies, Edward was thrown off when one professor would add riddles to his exams, leading to Edward's obsession to solve riddles.
Publisher’s description
Tom King and Mitch Gerads, the Eisner Award–winning duo behind Mister Miracle, The Sheriff of Babylon, and Strange Adventures, reunite to dive deep into the mind of Batman’s most intellectual foe…the Riddler. The Riddler has killed a man in broad daylight for seemingly no reason, but…there’s always a reason. The Riddler is always playing a game, there are always rules. Batman will reach his wits’ end trying to figure out the Riddler’s true motivation in this epic psychological thriller; this is not to be missed!
