Riddle 034: We don't need no education [Backdated to the First Day of School]
[Well, it's that time of year once again, isn't it? School's back in session. Oh, joy. Throughout the day, there's a good chance you'll bump into the Riddler in a few locations...
A. ACTION - Mayfield High School, Ethics Classroom, Morning
The words "Mr. Nigma" are written up on the blackboard. Yep. You heard that right. Edward Nigma, Ethics Teacher. When his first class has seated themselves, he'll rise up out of his chair and begin to address them:]
Life's just full of questions, isn't it? And in a place like Mayfield especially, you're going to have to ask yourself plenty of difficult questions.
[He approaches the blackboard, writing up a series of questions, reciting them aloud as he writes:
"Have you ever had to make a difficult decision?"
"Were you satisfied with the outcome, or do you still have regrets?"
He turns to his class, looking at them expectantly.]
Well?
[B. ACTION - Mayfield High School, Teacher's Lounge, Afternoon
He'll be sitting here in between classes, smoking a cigarette and working on a crossword from time to time.
C. PHONE - Filtered to Batman, Shortly After School]
Well, well, Dark Knight. It seems we're long overdue for a little chat, aren't we?
[D. PHONE - Filtered to Ema Skye, Late Afternoon]
Question: What are you up to this evening?

Yes. Quite a few and everyone has regrets at one point or another so I suppose I'll say yes to that as well.

But an example....
[She looks thoughtful for a moment. Her mind goes back to Mr. Peaty. She looks serious as she starts to talk.]
There was this one time. A man in the village, he was a horrible man, abused his wife and daughter on a regular basis. But then things went wrong. He beat his 13 year old daughter so badly he killed her unborn child and almost killed her.
I had to decide whether or not to let him face the mob and let the people get blood on their hands or tell him to run.
