The 'Riddle Me This, Batman' meme is inspired by the legendary catchphrase of the Riddler, one of Gotham City's most intellectual yet eccentric villains. While the phrase has been a staple of DC Comics and the 1966 TV series, the most popular meme iterations often feature Jim Carrey's flamboyant portrayal from the 1995 film Batman Forever. On the internet, the template is used to present absurd dilemmas, shower thoughts, or 'deep' philosophical questions that are actually quite silly. It captures the essence of the Riddler's compulsive need to challenge Batman's intellect, but flips it into a comedic format where the 'riddle' is usually a nonsensical observation about everyday life.
