Everyone has already figured out the Riddler’s riddle in the Batman trailer


Two Bat fans The BatmanThe trailer for the trailer on Saturday. Spoiler alert: The Riddler has weak puzzle game – except … we were intended to solve it quickly. In which case can the RIDDLE ON US. Of soksawat.

However, in The Batman, Riddler (Paul Dano) is made out of some sort of Zodiac-style threat that packs his own alphabet. He leaves a greeting card to a murder victim, whose question is “What does a liar do when he dies?”, And the answer is a set of 11 symbols.

Andrew Lane en Mike Selinker came up with various solutions to their solutions. Lane got his first, on Saturday night. Lane began by assuming that the first word was “Batman” and tried to work out the alphabet from there. “I was wrong because the other symbols that are also in the second sentence created gibberish,” he said.

Thus, Lane returned to the base, which was to replace the corresponding symbols in the first sentence with E, the most used letter later in the English language. He suggested that the corresponding double letters in the last word were L, another common coupling.

That’s kind of how Selinker began. Selinker, a game designer (credits include board game) Ashes and allies, de Harry Potter Trading Card Game, and the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons) began by giving each symbol a numeric value, and also at the end of the answer to the double letter keys. “It’s probably one of these: E, L or S. It’s not crazy to represent it as D, F, N or T,” Selinker wrote. [But] unless Gorilla Grodd is in this movie, I think we can give up those options. ”

Selinker showed more of his elimination process, but both he and Lane echoed the answer: “He’s lying still.” Which of course makes a point next to a riddle. But “The Punner” does not have the same ring. Plus, no one goes to a Batman movie wanting to cry and facepalm.

“I see people say I should be worse off here than they are,” Selinker added. ‘Do not think so! You are very smart. Yesterday I also broke a shower for curtains and I stood on it and watched until my wife came home to put it back together. ”

Fans on the DC Cinematic Universe subreddit also picked it up on Sunday, so if director Matt Reeves hired a real cryptographer to do so, he would have to ask for his money back. Zodiac, at least, had enough sense to encrypt his messages after putting them in his compound alphabet. Only one of them is solved.

The Batman is scheduled for a premiere on October 21, 2021. Robert Pattinson stars as Bruce Wayne, with Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle / Catowman, Colin Farrell as The Penguin, Jeffrey Wright as Jim Gordon, and Andy Serkis as Alfred Pennyworth.
