Though it may seem unidiomatic to make litigation a count noun(hence a plural), the usage is old and is today common. "E. g. ", "[The] first and second parties now have certain litigations pending in the Mercer Circuit Court. "... "a single automobile litigation... consumed sixty-three trial days". "The firm engages in general civil practice with emphasis on business litigations". "No court in which a litigation to that end might be brought... This word is best not used, however, as an equivalent of action or suit :"Whether such claims are just need not be decided to determine the rights of the parties to this litigation [read suit]". Properly, litigation=the action or process of carrying on a suit in law or equity("OED") ;thus it does not refer to the suit itself, but to the maintenance of it. Here it seems to be used for trial :"As the rules became more numerous and more nicely distinguished, they became also less easily understood and applied by the great mass of people, until finally no one who had not given the subject particular attention could safely assume to conduct a litigation [read trial]". 3, record 2, English, - litigation

The Riddler, real name Edward Nigma is a DC Comics supervillain, an enemy of Batman. Created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang, he first appeared in Detective Comics No. 140(1948). Known for his green, question mark-covered costume(either as a skintight catsuit or a business suit and bowler hat), The Riddler is obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and word games. He delights in planning crimes and forewarning police and Batman of his capers by sending them often complex riddles. Many adaptations of the Batman mythos have given The Riddler the real name Edward Nigma(or Nygma) or E. Nigma. Occasionally his full name has been given as Edward E. Nigma. Some have depicted this as a false name and his real name as Edward Nashton. In the French and Quebecois translations of various Batman titles, his nom de plume has been translated to Le Sphinx, as in the riddle-posing monster of Greek mythology that Oedipus confronted. In Italy he's called Enigmista, the literal translation of "riddler". In Mexico and Latin America, The Riddler is known as El Acertijo, which literally means "The Riddle". In Brazil, the character is named Charada, which also means "Riddle". 1, record 5, English, - The%20Riddler

Personnage malicieux qui s'oppose à Batman dans ses nombreuses aventures en bandes dessinées (comics) publiées par DC Comics, le Sphinx ou Homme-mystère (The Riddler); Edward Nigma (ou parfois Edward Nashton) est un malfaiteur cérébral plutôt qu'un assassin cruel. Obsédé par les devinettes, charades et toute gymnastique intellectuelle très tôt dans sa vie, il se dirigea assez naturellement vers l'accomplissement de délits et autres sortes de turpitudes interdites par la loi. Le Sphinx, rendu célèbre par les indices énigmatiques laissés à l'intention du Chevalier masqué et son costume vert orné de points d'interrogations multiples (complet cravate, chapeau melon et cane ou collants une pièce) devient un des ennemis de Batman les plus reconnus. Même si son physique parfois développé laisse penser le contraire, le Sphinx n'a jamais été doué pour les combats corps à corps; un scénario de comics le montre d'ailleurs très offusqué de la popularisation des meurtres à Gotham City. Le Sphinx est d'ailleurs un des seuls ennemi de Batman à avoir déduit l'identité réelle du Chevalier noir. 1, record 5, French, - Sphinx
