The Batman
Paul Dano makes an excellent Riddler inThe Batman , but the character actually makesJoker ’s " one big day " bloodline sincerely stark . The Batmanintroduces Robert Pattinson ’s take on the Dark Knight , which has a slightly different backstory to late versions , and it ’s one that sees a connecter between Bruce Wayne and the Riddler ’s several pasts . AlthoughThe Batmanmovies will have their own Joker , the connexion between Robert Pattinson ’s Bruce Wayne and Paul Dano ’s Riddler in reality makes a pipeline from Todd Phillips ' 2019Jokerall the more perfect .
Jokerfollows Joaquin Phoenix ’s Arthur Fleck and serves as a standalone parentage story of the titular villain . Jokeradapts some constituent fromBatman : The Killing Joke , which is one of many mirthful record book origins of the Joker , with the motion-picture show ’s most unmediated inspiration coming from the Joker ’s belief that it only takes one bad daytime to ram even a good man insane . While celebrated iteration of the Joker ’s origin stories have pick up a bad day shaped around falling into a vat , Jokerexplores a more psychological construction of what " one defective solar day " can look like .

The idea of " one bad twenty-four hour period " as an root is also the basis for the characterization of Dano ’s Riddler , withThe Batman ’s scoundrel seemingly prove Phoenix’sJokerline correct . This connective makesDano ’s RiddlerThe Batman ’s unadulterated villainby feeding into the Joker ’s " one defective day " philosophy . Dano ’s Riddler backstory designate that his nefarious ideas stem from Gotham ’s corruption and greed , and he even references " that day " , providing a specific spot in Gotham ’s chronicle where he trust the rottenness became too much and became his origin story .
However , it is not only Dano ’s Riddler that fits theJoker ’s " one unsound day " idea inThe Batman . Pattinson ’s Batman himself fits within the theme , as his crusade for vengeance stems from the day his parents were polish off , and the ramifications it has on Gotham . Dano ’s Riddler acts as something of a mirror for Batman ’s " one regretful daylight " as Riddler ’s obsession with Thomas Wayne ’s treason of his hope serve as the counterpoint to Batman ’s obsession with vengeance . Through their case-by-case crusades , both prove fixate upon the past , and it can all be traced back to one bad day - the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne . This law of similarity is even referenced by theRiddler ’s goon using Batman’s"I’m vengeance"line , tying Batman ’s violent action to the Riddler ’s own and highlighting the deficiency of difference between the two .
While Phoenix’sJokerwas the most prominent use of the " one bad solar day " line in a movie , The Batman ’s Joker befriending Dano ’s Riddler brings the estimate full R-2 . " One unfit day " has at times been a central part of the Joker ’s ethos , and by having the character be a part ofThe Batman ’s world , it form a connection between Pattinson ’s Batman and the two villains . connect the vigilante to his bane in such a cryptical and meaningful way sets up an intense conflict for succeeding sequel , and also allowsThe Batmanto make the famous line fromJokerall the more perfect .
