Before he was merely a voice, a clue, a mystery. Now, the Riddler will have a much, much larger role in Batman: Arkham City. A role that, according to Destructoid, is actually quite macabre.
It was said that the Riddler's missions in Arkham City weren't mere "side missions" as a lot of thought and work have gone into them, but they will not play a role in the main story.
Our demo ended with Batman descending upon a rooftop as his Cyptogram device was picking up a strange signal. He stops in front of a large billboard, the words "Turn on and Tune in Before Someone Checks out - 275.00 325.00" crudely scrawled on its face. The Dark Knight jacks into that particular frequency and we're given our first glimpse at Arkham City's darker, twisted vision of Riddler.
While we didn't see any gameplay in action, the vignette we were shown was meant to give us "insight into The Riddler's state of mind." It's a super grimy minute worth of footage, with dark scenes of horror-like imagery, including a female struggling as she held down by a contraption that looks like something out of a SAW film. The Riddler's voice is the clip's soundtrack, taunting Batman the whole time.
