1. The Joker's Riddle:
This one is infamous and often attributed to the Joker:
* "Why so serious?"
While not technically a riddle, it represents the Joker's chaotic philosophy and the fundamental question he poses to Batman about sanity and the meaning of order. It's a riddle about the Joker's own existence and the nature of his madness.
2. The Riddle of Identity:
Many of the Joker's riddles center around the theme of identity and the blurring of lines between good and evil.
* "Which is more insane, a man who thinks he's a bat, or a man who thinks he's a clown?"
This riddle highlights the Joker's view of Batman and the inherent absurdity of their roles. It asks the player to question their own perception of sanity and the nature of justice.
3. The Riddler's Final Riddle:
In Arkham Asylum, the Riddler's final riddle in the game is more of a puzzle than a riddle:
* The Riddler's Cipher:
This cipher requires the player to decipher a coded message, ultimately leading to the location of the Riddler's final weapon. This puzzle tests the player's deduction skills and requires a keen eye for detail, a core aspect of Batman's detective work.
Ultimately, the "ultimate riddle" in Arkham Asylum is more about the player's interpretation of the game's themes and their understanding of the characters' motivations. Each riddle, whether simple or complex, invites us to consider the psychological and philosophical dimensions of the world of Arkham Asylum.
