it's probably more to do with the fact that sociopathic, evil people often perceive their own sense of morals as being good and righteous. even better than the rest of us, because they know better than we do. and at times they can even CONVINCE you that what they are actually doing is good.

sure, the riddler was indiscriminately murdering people, but he was choosing targets who "deserved" to die so I guess maybe he's not that bad. but if you think about it, that's absurd. he was KILLING people. he had all of the information, he could have simply exposed their corruption. but he chose to murder them in cruel ways, and make a game out of it. he wasn't ever righteous. he was always insane.

the mask always drops. these people have an unchecked sense of self righteousnous. and no matter how much you cheer them on when they are targeting the people you hate, their indiscriminate lack of morals will eventually begin to target any people who they simply dislike. he targets bruce wayne, who we know did nothing wrong. and then he turns his ire against anyone who he perceives as having led a better life than he had. but it all started because his little cult of followers was cheering him on when he chose murder instead of exposing the corruption, because they made his head even bigger, and made him feel like choosing violence was the right thing to do.
