Batman: Arkham Knight - The Riddler's Gambit
by Alex Irvine
It’s… okay?
While the concept is interesting it seems to deviate quite a bit from the Arkham series canon? In that series Riddler is seen as humiliated by his last encounter with the Batman but this ends on a different note. Alongside, in this iteration Batman and Gordon’s relationship is quite strained whereas in the games it’s very chummy.
The reporter excerpts were interesting at first but ultimately did not push the story forward and often felt like a repetition of information we already had.
I did like how it looked into the relationship between Batman and the Joker.
Overall, the book is a little bit silly but fun if you enjoy the mechanics of the Riddler puzzles in the Arkham games.
