Line 31:
*[[Homage]]: An [[Implacable Man|implacable]] [[Black Knight]] strides down a dark hallway, [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomping]] unfortunate underlings. ''[[Rogue One]]'', is that you?
*[[Ironic Echo]]: A Riddler supporter says "I'm vengeance" when the police ask who he is, echoing how Batman introduced himself at the start of the film.
*[[Jumping Off the Slippery Slope]]: If the Riddler had limited himself to purging cops and politicians on the criminal payroll, he might have been able to play on the moral ambiguity of being an admittedly vicious [[Vigilante Man]] making sure that [[Asshole Victim]]s hiding in positions of authority get what they deserve, which is the kind of thing that most people probably have dreamt of at least once. Come his final plot, though,
*[[Misplaced Retribution]]:
**Most of Riddler's targets make sense when you learn they are corrupt cops or politicians. Bruce Wayne, however, was basically targeted because of something that Thomas did. Riddler outright calls it [[Sins of Our Fathers]] and he's going after Bruce since Thomas has been dead for decades. What makes it ''really'' misplaced is that Alfred ended up opening the bomb, and barely survived thanks to his quick thinking to toss the bomb away.
