Apparently the pic is from this scene but as a still image it doesn't work.

Yep, textbook JAFAAC. Pull.

Only thing that comes to mind for a decent enough replacement would be from a comic of some sort. Maybe the Riddler?

Agreed, Pull.

She kind of looks like she's telling a secret or wanting someone to keep one. Which isn't quite what she's doing. So pull.

Pull regardless of replacement.

There are some fans of some show who know who she is and why you should care.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

Do you have any ideas on what picture we could use instead? Probably the Riddler/Edward Nygma, or someone else?

A collage of Eddie spouting riddles might have to be the way to go on this.

It's a little weak, but that smirk helps sell it, so I'll give it a tentative [tup] pending other ideas.

It's better than nothing at all, but not by much.

How about the top 3 panels of Professor Layton happily puzzling next to a corpse.

Edit: Nevermind, I appear to have misinterpreted the trope. Did not realize it was about characters that talk in riddles.

Hmm, perhaps we could use some image of the Riddler from the comics, where he's saying a riddle?
