Tanerverse: The Answer

Michael Patten was a professor of ancient civilizations at Gotham University, specializing in lost civilization and the theories behind their disappearances. His lectures and theories caught the attention of the Riddler, leading to him consulting Patten for riddles for his crimes. Due to the fact that the Riddler is, well, the Riddler, Patten agreed, and aided Nygma in creating riddles for crimes. However, Nygma purposefully rigged the riddles so that the clues would lead back to Patten. Arrested and disgraced, Patten began to seek out vengeance. When he was released from Black Gate, he became the Answer, calling himself, “the answer to Gotham’s seedy underground.” Patten’s violent take on justice put him at odds with Batman, leading Patten to add Batman to the problem he seeks to answer. In his mind, Batman’s approach to justice is a problem, and only he can answer it
