Those few of you who knew me when I was a little kid may remember (if you can remember that far back) that I was a big Batman fan. I would say it was probably just shy of an obsession. I remember every Thursday and Friday when the Batman show would come at the same “Bat-time” on the same “Bat-channel.” I think my favorite Batman villain would be The Riddler. I liked the way he would leave Batman and Robin little clues in the form of a riddle. It was up to the “Dynamic Duo” to answer the riddle and figure out what The Riddler was up to and what he was going to do next. Although Commissioner Gordon and Police Chief O'Hara could never figure it out, these riddles were never too difficult for the intellect of Batman, or even Robin, sometimes.
Although I promise I am not planning some big bank heist, I thought I might give y'all some fun riddles to help you pass your day. I can't claim credit for these, but I do promise they have been “tested” on the staff of Greene Publishing, Inc., much to the dismay of my fellow workers.
