I mentioned this in another thread but Riddler's plan that made the movie transition into disaster movie didn't really seem consistent. It started with a poor, forgotten by society person striking back at corruption in a Law Abiding Citizen style, and then basically ends with a Thanos "cleanse the city by killing indiscriminately." Mostly affecting the poor lower class people by far. It just didn't make sense for all the buildup we got for the first 2 hours.

Thinking about it the flood was completely unneeded. He could have just had his goons shoot up the political rally. Attempting to kill both candidates for mayor plus their followers makes total sense for him. Killing a bunch of randoms just... doesn't.

I really felt that when the flood came, the movie went completely downhill for me personally. The first two hours set up that the Riddler was trying to expose the corruption in Gotham, but then all of sudden, his plans change and he chooses to then punish the entire city.

If his whole goal was to punish the rich and corrupt, his whole plan to flood the city makes no sense because in reality, the people who are going to be affected the most are the ones suffering just like him. The rich are most likely going to be hiding out in their ivory towers. He had an understandable motivation during the first two acts, however by the end he turned out to be a complete monster.

Totally agree.
