Riddle me this became famous as the signature catchphrase of Edward Nigma, the Riddler, one of Batman's oldest villains in DC Comics since the 1940s. The line was cemented in pop culture by Frank Gorshin in the 1960s Batman television series and later by Jim Carrey in Batman Forever in 1995. Online, gamers and editors lifted the taunt from that comic book rivalry and turned it into a reusable reaction for brain teasers, boss fights and arguments where someone thinks they have outsmarted everyone else.
