[The smile she gives the camera is the sort she's practiced a thousand times; friendly and soft and completely unthreatening.]

Hello. My name is Barbara Gordon, and I think there's been some sort of mistake.

[Her voice, too, is a gentle one, though edged with confusion.]

I have no idea why I'm here. I'm nothing but a novelist, an activist – I'm pretty sure my worst crime is a few boring lectures.

[She runs a hand through her hair, lets the fingers tremble just slightly.]

I really would like to go home. The Waynes – my family will be worried.

[He just smiles. He can guess what happened. Crime alley, bullets, yadda yadda. Universal parallels.]

I'm not a renowned Detective in your world, am I? Pity. I can never make a good impression on people who know me as 'Riddler'.

Rest assured, my dear, I'm not the man you're familiar with. Bruce would attest to that, were he around to. [He sounds slightly forlorn.] Your 'brother' was a magnificent partner. With a chip on his shoulder the size of a planetary system, but still...

Bruce the detective. [Her voice is wryly incredulous.]

Well, he definitely has the mind for it, if he actually wanted to apply it.

Bruce the vigilante. [Riddler's tone remains pleasant.] And 'Worlds greatest detective', they say. We're about on the same level, but his resources are much vaster than my own.

You two would have a lot to relate on.
