Didn't someone do a Batman issue about an aging, wistful and urbane Riddler? Was it Morrison?

I think it was actually Gaiman, in the late 80s (possibly 90) Batman Rogues Gallery Secret Origins Special, where the framing for the whole issue was a British film crew shooting a doc on the villains and they interviewed Nigma in an old junkyard full of Dick Sprang giant typewriters and such.

That sounds right, but I have no idea how I would have actually read that (and I'm pretty sure I did).

The Riddler story was included in the Two-Face/Riddler collection released around the time of the shitty movie that had them in it (and sexy Nicole Kidman).

I'm trying to remember who did the art on that story...it was pretty nice. Sam Kieth did the Penguin origin, and Pat Broderick (who I've never liked) did the Two-Face origin...
