Batman: Riddler - The Riddle Factory

In this 1995 one-shot from DC, Matt Wagner and Dave Taylor craft a darkly psychological Batman story centered on the Riddler, exploring the villain's obsession with riddles and his twisted need to prove his intellectual superiority. The issue presents a tense, atmospheric confrontation that delves into the mind of Edward Nygma, offering a focused character study rather than a broad action piece. It stands as a distinctive, self-contained tale from the mid-90s that highlights Wagner's knack for noir-infused storytelling and Taylor's detailed, shadowy art.
