The Riddler is the Zodiac Killer in upcoming Batman movie

[doranchak]

The Riddler in the upcoming Batman movie is based on the Zodiac Killer.
This new episode of Let’s Crack Zodiac started as a quick look at how the new Riddler and his ciphers compare to Zodiac, but then turned into a deep dive into many topics:

• The Riddler in the real FBI case files
• Codebreaking tools
• Zodiac-like characters and connections in vintage comics, TV shows, and movies
• Codemaking and codebreaking in old comics, TV shows, and pulp fiction
• Classical cryptography, secret decoder wheels, and other vintage crypto toys
• The Mikado, and its connections to both Zodiac and Batman
• And Ovaltine.

There’s something here for everyone!

Frank Gorsham was the Riddler back then. He passed away many years ago.
