Let's Crack Zodiac - Episode 12 - Zodiac and Batman

The Riddler in the upcoming Batman movie is based on the Zodiac Killer.
This new episode of Let’s Crack Zodiac started as a quick look at how the new Riddler compares to Zodiac, but then turned into a deep dive into many topics:

* The Riddler in the real FBI case files
* Codebreaking tools
* Zodiac-like characters and connections in vintage comics, TV shows, and movies
* Codemaking and codebreaking in old comics, TV shows, and pulp fiction
* Classical cryptography, secret decoder wheels, and other vintage crypto toys
* The Mikado, and its connections to both Zodiac and Batman
* And Ovaltine. :)

There’s something here for everyone!
