I don't remember much about this show, but Frank Gorshin as the Riddler is probably my favorite portrayal of any Batman character ever. It was the most ridiculous show and he was running around in a green unitard saying "Riddle me this!" and yet he somehow came off as the most dignified thing on screen. He was the only villain in that version who came off as remotely creepy, scary, or threatening. Also, he wasn't always in a unitard. He wore a suit jacket and bowler hat frequently, too, so it looks to me like both versions of the Riddler here are meant to evoke Gorshin's Riddler (or the 60s comics Riddler, which is what the tv show was drawing from).

I haven't had much opportunity to see Gorshin's Riddler in action, but I'm glad to hear he was the most "Serious" villain. He's been my favorite Batman villain ever since, well, I watched the original Animated Series as a kid.

(Plus, I HAVE seen the movie, and I will always have a soft spot for the "sparrow with a machine gun" riddle. Whoever came up with those was a demented genius.)

And maybe you're right that they were paying homage in both versions, although this featurette seems to say otherwise;

But based off the pictures I'm seeing on Google, they probably did draw physical inspiration from both the suit and the unitard, even if they changed the personality.
