A question about unused Riddler plots

[pharmmajor]

I hope nobody minds my asking this, but I've heard it frequently mentioned that there were a few of Riddler episodes that the B:TAS crew wanted to get produced but couldn't due to complexity errors. I was wondering, does anyone know where I can find information regarding these un-produced episodes? I'd greatly appreciate any help regarding this issue. Thanks.

I don't know about episodes, but Ty Templeton once shared (http://forums.toonzone.net/showpost.php?p=1238338&postcount=40) his plan for his next Riddler story in the prematurely-cancelled "Batman Adventures" series. If you recall, the last we'd seen of the Riddler was that he'd tracked down the Clock King, but was subsequently injured and fell into a coma:

See, Slott and I were planning another Riddler issue in our next arc (now lost in limbo) where Eddie wakes up with NO idea who he is. Which becomes the ultimate riddle...WHO AM I? Ahhh, it would have been fun. We still might do that story if they ever let Slott and I near the other Bat-books.

Hmmm...well, this Febuary at the San Francisco comicon, Paul Dini was in a writing-for-animation panel, and the discussion came round to freelance scrips. My memory is a bit shaky on this, but I think that he said the Batman staff once received a script from a freelancer, about the Riddler being forced by another criminal to set traps and riddles and do his bidding for him. Dini said it was a good script, but the contributor wasn't a regular member of the staff, and Dini and company weren't overly comfortable with having the Riddler being placed in so subservient a position, so the script never made it to the screen. As I said, my memory is not fully reliable on this, so if anyone who was there, or any staff, can correct me or give further information, I'd be grateful.
