Panel 1:
A caped, cowled figure resembling Batman holds and reads a handwritten note. The note reads (in handwriting):
"If the real part of all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function is 0.5, the bomb's beneath a downtown dive.
-Riddler"
Caption beneath the panel:
Fun Fact:
Batman hasn't left his study in 10 years.
Votey:
Panel: A butler-like man (bow tie, mustache) speaks to the seated caped figure.
Butler: SIR RIDDLER HAS ASSUMED CONTROL OF EUROPE.
Caped figure: SHH. BUSY.

A close-up of a Batman-like caped, cowled figure reading a handwritten note in his lap. The note says: "If the real part of all non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function is 0.5, the bomb's beneath a downtown dive. -Riddler." A caption below reads: "Fun Fact: Batman hasn't left his study in 10 years." The joke is that this Batman is so absorbed in trying to verify the unsolved Riemann Hypothesis (the Riddler's clue) that he never actually goes out to stop crime. Votey: A butler tells the still-seated Batman, "SIR RIDDLER HAS ASSUMED CONTROL OF EUROPE," and Batman, without looking up, replies, "SHH. BUSY."
