Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When the Joker traps Batman, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow decide against their better judgement to allow Riddler, who is trying to go straight, to help them track him down. Riddler assists them because Joker has stolen his riddle motives, as he deciphers Joker’s riddles that lead him, Wonder Woman, and Green Arrow to Solomon Grundy’s cell, the Iceberg Lounge, and the Gotham Art Museum.
Our Take
A fun villain-team-up hour that leans into Riddler’s ego, and the show is smart enough to let him be genuinely brilliant instead of just annoying. Wonder Woman and Green Arrow play the exasperated babysitters well, and the Joker riddles land because Nygma is offended someone else is using his shtick. Light, quick, and one of the better episodes of the run.
