With the confirmation that Batman universe villain The Riddler would play a larger role in Batman: Arkham City than he did in Arkham Asylum, a criminal mastermind of great intelligence was added to Batman’s burgeoning list of powerful adversaries, but instead of using his brainpower for good, The Riddler instead spends his time constructing deadly puzzles, as well as rhymes with mischievous repercussions.

You see, Riddler wants nothing more than to be better than you; to best you in a battle of wits. Will Batman overcome this nefarious villain in Batman: Arkham City and get to the bottom of the mysterious Protocol 10?

Here are a few snippets of the pair’s mind-bending battles in an excellent new trailer for the game:
