The classic Riddler costume is a super easy costume to make, so it’s a great one to do if you need something last minute. I did make a template above for the question marks and mask if you don’t want to draw the pieces freehand.

For my Riddler costume, I got the green jacket for a couple bucks at the local Salvation Army. If you can’t find a green jacket in the men’s section, try the women’s section. They usually have a wider range of colors.

The hat I used as the base was an old St. Patrick’s Day hat someone was throwing out, so I grabbed it up for this costume. You can often find those in second hand shops shortly after the holiday as well.

To finish it off, I just added a pair of black pants, as well as an orange wig (leftover from my Leeloo costume 😉). The wig isn’t necessary, but it adds a fun classic Riddler feel to the costume.
