    For the Riddler, how about Rebus instead?

    And for Star Sapphire, how about "Emery", a reference to the material used for emery boards, which is chemically similar to that which makes up sapphire.

    Isn't Query one of Riddler's henchwomen? I'm pretty sure those two women that hang around him as named Echo and Query.

    Actually, since the Sandman's kid partner was Sandy, maybe Catman's should be Catty, Fisherman's Fishery, and Shaggy Man's...well, that one doesn't really work, does it?

    Blockbuster and Indie Kid? B-Movie? Wow, so many bad puns waiting to be made. I'll restrain myself.
