I’m Now Convinced Riddler Will Return in The Batman Part II (& What His New Role Will Be)

Events from The Penguin have convinced me that The Riddler is still important to the DC Universe Matt Reeves has created, and the villain will appear in the upcoming The Batman - Part II. While everything we know about The Batman - Part II suggests that a new terrifying villain pulled from the pages of DC Comics will likely be the main antagonist, Reeves has worked hard to create a world that feels lived in. His Gotham is already populated with many DC villains, including Joker and Penguin, and working Riddler into the story of The Batman - Part II would make sense.
Most Batman villains in film have only appeared in one installment of their series. While Joker"s return was planned for The Dark Knight Rises, Heath Ledger"s tragic death caused the filmmakers to reconsider. R"as al Ghul and Scarecrow did, however, recur in the film. Given this, I believe the villains of The Batman should continue to pop up so long as they are alive. With the cancelation of Matt Reeves" planned Arkham series, a visit to Arkham Asylum in The Batman - Part II will likely give another look at villains, new and old alike, including Paul Dano"s Riddler.
The Riddler's Involvement In The Penguin & How It Sets Up His Return Explained The Penguin Picks Up Immediately Following The Events Of The Batman Close The beginning of The Penguin directly follows the events of The Batman, where Riddler and his followers waged a war to unveil corruption in the city. The effects of their flooding the city continue to be featured, and the refocusing of crime in Gotham follows the death of Carmine Falcone. Corruption continues to flourish in the city, and it appears that, while Riddler certainly unveiled some, much organized crime still presides over the city. Sofia Falcone is taking over her father"s work, and after seeing how she treated Penguin for killing her brother, she certainly has something planned for Riddler.
