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?

[Filtered]
In any case. If I were to kill you, you certainly wouldn't have died in a manner like that. I'm a warrior of wit. Not some bloodthirsty berserker.
[Like some people he knows.]
[Filtered]
You don't have to lie to me.
But if you were truly as clever as you claim to be, you'd at least be smart enough to kill me in a world where death is permanent. Where I couldn't come back and exact revenge on you . . .
[Bruce lets his voice trail off.]
