The Riddler

A cartoon drawing of the Riddler from the Batman series, with text that reads 'RIddle me this, and riddle it good. How did they do it with doors made of wood?'

The Riddler is one of several Batman villains to have been used as a character in online memes. Such memes typically depict the character - under its various portrayals throughout the years - speaking to the viewer in riddles. In some hateful online spaces, the meme has since been co-opted to promote antisemitic talking points, oftentimes invoking aspects of Holocaust denial.
