Description
Batman Variation
The Riddler uses the original male hairpiece in Black. He has a one sided face featuring a smirk and a purple mask with white eyes. He has a green torso, which depicts a tight green suit with a purple question mark on the chest and a purple belt. The Riddler has grey hands (most-likely because purple hands would be too expensive to produce). He uses green legs without printing.
In 7787 The Bat-Tank: The Riddler and Bane's Hideout, The Riddler is also has a simple jetpack made out of two Black teeth, two Black studs, two cones in Transparent Fluorescent Green, one Dark Stone Grey Technic Backstrap, and a Black Technic Brick.
Super Heroes Variation
Rather than a hairpiece, Riddler uses the Small Clown's bowler hat, but in light grey and with a black "?" print on the center and front. Riddler's face isn't very different, but his mask is higher up and his mouth has his teeth showing in an unfriendly frown. Riddler's torso has more toned muscles, a black "?" centered, and a purple belt with a yellow "?". On the back of Riddler's torso are a few lines to symbolize the shape his unitard has against his back and a continuation of his purple belt. Riddler's arms and legs are both all green, but his hands are purple, the first official minifigure to have such. He is armed with a crowbar. This variation is exclusive to 6857 The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape.
Preliminary Super Heroes Variation
At the 2012 New York Toy Fair, the set-up of 6857 revealed the preliminary version of Riddler's Super Heroes variation. The bowler hat was green and unprinted. Riddler had the same face as Robin's two Batman variations. The torso had black hands (rather than purple), no yellow "?" belt buckle, a large purple question mark (rather than black), many smaller, dark green question marks scattered around the torso, and he wasn't as muscular. The legs were unchanged and he was still accessorised with a crowbar.
Video Game Appearances
In LEGO Batman
In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, The Riddler is identical to his appearance in 7785 Arkham Asylum, but is armed with a golden, question mark shaped staff.
On the Nintendo DS version of the video game, The Riddler also appears as "Riddler (Suit)".
The Riddler is able to use mind control on certain characters and open certain doors which require a mind control character. He attacks with his "?" staff.
In LEGO Batman 2
Riddler reappears in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes with his appearance from 6857 The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape and his "?" cane that appeared in LEGO Batman: The Videogame. In this version, he cannot use mind control like he could in LEGO Batman the Videogame. He can be found at the top of Wayne tower and when defeated is available to purchase.
Background
As a boy, Edward Nygma was fascinated with word-games, puzzles, and riddles to the point where he became obsessed with them. He would then use this obsession to test his wits against the law and turned to crime as the Riddler, leaving behind a clue at the scene which Batman always manages to solve before apprehending him. Unlike the other Batman rogues, the Riddler commits crimes behind mind games and it takes Batman's intellect to solve them rather than physical force. The Riddler has a genius intellect in constructing riddles and is armed with his "?" cane that contains weapons and computer technology.

In LEGO Batman 2
The Riddler reappears in LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes as a playable character. He hides boxes around Gotham City.
Riddler is one of the villains who raids The Man of the Year award ceremony, the others being The Joker, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, and The Penguin. He listens to Joker's "acceptance speech" after he steals the trophy from Bruce Wayne with the others at Lex Luthor's table. When the Dynamic Duo arrive in the Bat-boat, Riddler flees through the stage trapdoor with Joker, Penguin, and Two-Face, leaving Harley to cover their flight.
When Harley is defeated, Riddler hid in the band-room under the stage under a giant tuba. The tuba was destroyed, and he was chased by the Dynamic Duo through the theatre with his henchmen defending them. Using the stealth suit, Batman was able to see through Riddler's hiding box and defeat him using the weights attached to it.
He was later one of the villains freed from Arkham Asylum by The Joker and Lex Luthor with the Deconstructor. He attempted to escape on Two-Face's truck with Two-Face and Harley Quinn when Batman and Robin arrived.
He can be found on the top of the Wayne Tower and can be bought for 125,000 studs after he is defeated.
