 		Arkham City / Riddler Riddle
One of the devs is saying there's a riddle in there
First link, the Riddler character reveal trailer: YouTube

Second link, official Arkham City forum, with Sarah May being the dev:
http://community.batmanarkhamcity.com/forums/showthread.php/1751-Is-The-Riddler-smarter-than-a-bat-TRAILER!?p=32545#post32545

(can't seem to get the above link working with url tags, weird)

Didn't know about this until today, and apparently we only have until tomorrow to figure it out in order for them to release a new bit of content, but after 150+ pages of forum posts, supposedly nobody has even figured out what the riddle is, let alone solved it - thought someone here might be able to crack it!

Well, I'm not about to start slogging thru that thread to see what they have dug out of the video. I hate not being able to control the pause button on YouTube to get all the freeze frames needed. From the video, I get a lot of snippets which are probably the start of your riddle:

Quote:
I Spy with my Riddle Eye
Can You See... What I See?
There's An... Amusing Transfusion
Causing Confusion

Quote:
pup(1)pet
wh(2)at
t(3)his
str(2x)ing?
(20)ake


and a bunch of equations floating around, which may be a substitution clue, or just real physics that I don't recognize.

 		yes yes yes!!!
Currently playing arkham asylum as well and loving the riddler aspects to it - and LOVE this trailer
[20]ake - would make 'take' if the 20 = t [simple substittion

Things I noticed -
rotars - which reminded me of enigma machine [enigma being riddlers last name]
Thinking about a step by step analysis would be good. Currently my brain is rebelling and procrastinating against tidying up but I must so - I will do this in a bit - hopefully
EDIT:
edit - sod it - doing it now!
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
starts [warning about age inappropriateness]
monarch theatre - slide upwards to:
fade with gargoyle from first game and full moon with helicopter
close up - batmans face - looking intense
zoom into eye - green riddler question mark - Riddler VO: riddle me this
broken writing: I spy
green lines - neon bright - implications of molecular chains and/or venom-type liquid? heart beat sound starting and pulses through from this point
some elctronic noise - backwards [anyone else help here?]
Batman holding a 'goon type' by the neck outsie store called Gotham Hardware [reference to computer tech?] has subtitle - can't see: Batman VO I know you work for riddler
Broken writing: With my riddle eye
Goon VO: I'll tell you everything
equations flashing on screen [see images below]
[at this point the riddler broke my computer and had to restart - pausing and restarting youtube videos=not good]

green line - closeup
writing: pup(1)pet - this would work out to be pupApet?? more in a bit
equations
kee(1Coolp - this would be keeRp - unless we're looking at A R so far?
flashes of a valve
then batman approaching a holographic riddler
broken writing: can you see - what I see - then t(5)c = E or tEc [so far ARE - think at this point go with letters and words]
writing shar(Coolp [8=h]
rotors and turbines - reminiscent of a threshing machine/enigma codebreaker as well for me personally...
this turns into something bat-ty with colours of a batcave/science entrance thing....
Riddler VO: do you admit that I'm smarter than a bat?
Writing THERE'S AN
Writing: AMUSING TRANSFUSION
Batman using tech from1st game to hack [image here]
Writing CAUSING CONFUSION
writing (20)ake = Take?
writing: str [15]nge - this one was very quick - unsure about it
VO: 5 more challenges
VO: "and when you lie blubbering on the floor - then you will know that the riddler is better than you."


now tired and computer hating me - do more later!
hope this helps someone...
edit edit - he forum that this has a link to earlier has 172 pages of much better analysis - but i'll try and summise what i can in a bit...

 		http://www.movieviral.com/2011/07/24/batman-arkham-city-viral-discovered-at-comic-con/

new stuff has been found,
this code found at comic con
I f n W C O g 2 D 5 k

led to
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfnWCOg2D5k&feature=player_embedded

in the description,
"(1)Can (5)you (26)defeat (20)a (_)mind (21)such (7)as (5)mine(7)(5)(7)?" - #EN

i'm guessing EN stands for Edward Nigma (the Riddler)

How do you attempt to understand what is going on in Arkham City when all of the answers are... Strange?

The way that was said, for sure implys Hugo Strange, and not just meaning.. odd.

 		Also found in the first video are:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
t(5)o
Shar(8 )p
t(13)his
doe(5)s
m(1)e
i(20)t
Ridd(9)le with "dimensions" underneath, but that may be part of the equation
tr(21)ing? (question mark is actually there)
What looks like "TEST (some number)" written under the television screens

And a hell of a lot of calculus and physics.

 		Sorry for the sheer number of spoilers, not sure if I am spoilering too much.

Re: New info!

There's a Riddle *IN* the trailer, kids.

Pup(1)pet
kee(18 )p
(25)a
Wh(2)at
t(5)o
Shar(8 )p
t(18 )his
doe(5)s
m(1)e
a(20)
(20)it
t(20)ake
str(21)ing?
ridd(9)le
o(14)n
Str(15)ange


DarkPrince04 then pitched in with
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Well it could be "Riddle me this, What does it take to keep a Sharp puppet on a Strange string?"


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Putting the numbers associated which each word in the order of the new sentence then gives 9 1 18 2 5 20 20 5 18 20 8 1 14 25 15 21, and the most obvious substitution cipher transforms this into I AM BETTER THAN YOU
