Do the Riddler's motivations make little sense?

He wants to get revenge on Bruce Wayne, so he has Two-Face help him steal enough money to build a corporation that sells holographic TV devices. It proves such a successful plan, he becomes rich and his company's stock outsells that of Wayne Enterprises.

He had won.

Then he went and did something stupid by trying to siphon the intelligence from Gotham City, which turned him insane and deformed. Then again, didn't he do that because he got addicted to knowing everything?

What gets me is that the Riddler's plan was a DIRECT ripoff of an episode of Doug.

Initially, Nygma's plan was just to make a device that would project TV directly into the brain. He learned, accidentally, that device could extract knowledge from people's minds. The general public didn't know that the device would siphon their minds nor that Nygma was the one committing the crimes as The Riddler. Sounds like a good plan.

Annoying the world since 1960!
