Spider-Man and Robin (Part Two)



Continued from yesterday's cover (be sure to check it out for links to other Spidey-Robin adventures), we see the thrilling conclusion to our story.

I always knew that Mysterio would make a great cinematic villain and Spider-Man: Far From Home proved me right.  I am hoping the casting of Paul Dano as the Riddler in Matt Reeves' Batman movie will finally do the character justice.  Sure, Frank Gorshin's manic take was classic, and Jim Carrey had his moments, but neither depicted a genius that I could really see giving The Dark Knight a challenge.  I am hoping Dano's interpretation is closer to more modern depictions of the villain.

Liked it, especially his first few appearances.

I don't know about the cleverness of the modern Riddler. But, we should certainly admire yours.

My first guess to the answer of Spidey's riddle was "They tried to make us believe they were Todd McFarlane's Spawn!"

As long as we're mentioning the various Riddlers, there was also John Astin who, I believe, is the only surviving male villain left from the TV Batman series.

And let's not forget Cory Michael Smith on Gotham, who turned in a pretty solid performance (though I still think John Glover's DCAU portrayal is the best to date).

Aren't you forgetting Ted Knight's (criminally underrated) vocal depiction of the Riddler in the 1968 Filmation Bat-toons? For shame!

I think the Riddler and Mysterio would be a pretty effective team. Riddler does the scripting, Mysterio does the effects, and they could bamboozle anyone about anything.

Unusual pairings? This would be a breeze. Spider-Man and Mighty Mouse. MM might consider himself the mightier being. Spidy has met Howard the Duck, but work second banana to a mouse? no.

But, Spidey might have to if he was shrunken, and then threatened with being devoured, by...The Black Cat!
