the riddler 2024

This is from the comics "The Riddler: Year One". It's about the Riddler from the Batman movie. Edward's boss called him "Rain Man". Now for you who doesn't know that, "Rain Man" is an offensive word for autistic people. Rain man was one of the first movies about an autistic character. In modern point of view it's stereotypical impersonation for autism, but it was a representation that left a mark on people. But so many people, mainly adutls, still considers autistics as some kind of a"Rain Man". It's really insulting from the boss to say something like that. But the important thing here is that we have the closest thing for approval that the Riddler is autistic. For years there is the discussion if the Riddler is autistic. I saw somewhere that he is diagnosed with OCD in the comics. But is interest in riddles and social awkwardness are more autistic. Cluemaster has OCD as well, but they are different because Riddler has other things beside OCD. And here, in this comics that was written by Paul Dano, the Riddler's actor, someone insulting Edward in derogatory for autistics. So Paul Dano acknowledge here that the Riddler is autistic coded character. It can be considered that he approved here that at least his portrayal of the Riddler was a portrayal of an autistic character.
