A new Batman: Arkham City trailer featuring the Riddler landed this morning and Rocksteady Studios is dangling a reward to challenge fans to solve them by this Friday.

Some intrepid fans at the Arkham City Community forums have already solved one of the easier clues in the in the trailer. The trailer contains the following words with numbers in the middle.

ridd(9)le m(1)e t(13)his Wh(2)at doe(5)s (20)it t(20)ake t(5)o

kee(18)p a(20) Shar(8)p Pup(1)pet o(14)n (25)a Str(15)ange str(21)ing?

Taking the numbers out reveals the following numbers which match up to letters in the alphabet:

9 1 13 2 5 20 20 5

18 25 8 1 14 20 15 21

So, Riddler is telling Batman, “I am better than you.” That’s not particularly revealing as Riddler’s ego has always led him to take on the Dark Knight to prove his superior intellect. However, community manager Sarah May said that a tougher clue resides in the trailer still waiting to be found and promises a reward if it is found by the end of the week.

Good work guys, however there is one other more complex clue/riddle in there that will really test to see if you are smarter than a bat.

Work it out by

FRIDAY

and I will release a never seen before Riddler asset.

As for the “Riddle me this. What does it take to keep a Sharp puppet on a Strange string?” text in the clue provided above, we suggest checking out the recently released Batman: Arkham City comics to gain a better understanding of the dynamic between Mayor Sharp and Hugo Strange.
