It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week. What else is happening in the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. The answer makes complete sense, and is also ferociously stupid. So you might ask yourself: How did Batman keep Eddie Nygma from spilling the beans all over Gotham? The Riddler, on the other hand, hates Batman’s guts and loves lording information over people. This was a big addition to the short list of supervillains who knew Batman’s big secret, most of whom could be trusted with the information for reasons of sympathy or honor.

He’d figured it out all on his own because, well, if characters like Ra’s al Ghul and Bane could simply deduce Batman’s true identity, then it follows the hyper-intelligent Riddler could as well. See, for a good long stretch of DC Comics time before the 2011 reboot, the Riddler was fully aware that Batman was Bruce Wayne. In honor of The Batman, the Riddler’s first live-action, big-screen appearance since 1995, I need to talk about my favorite Riddler moment ever. Here at Polygon we like to spend (almost) every Monday celebrating the best moments in comics from the past week, but today I’d like to start with something a little different.
