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?

[Looks over.]

You don't seem to mind my speaking with your other son. Picking favourites already Edward?

I never said that. If anything, I'd prefer you stay away from my house altogether.

[He's not denying anything, though.]

Stay away from your house and one of your sons. Yes, clearly I was mistaken.

[Oh he notices that.]

Luke mentioned he liked puzzles. I'm sure the two of you get along quite well. Does Slugger like puzzles?

Of course not.

Well I enjoy talking with him. Maybe you should try to get to know him a little better.

Maybe you should leave Slugger be.

Mmm... I don't think I will.

I quite enjoy our conversations. I believe he does as well.
