Hey everyone,

I have recently been re-reading some classic Batman arcs and I noticed something I hadn't noticed before. There seems to be an close link between Robin and Two-Face.

1) In Robin: Year One, the main antagonist is Two-Face.

2) In Nightwing: Year One, Alfred disguises himself as Two-Face for Jason Todd's final test to become Robin.

3) Of course, Two-Face is a part of Jason Todd's origin story as well, having killed his father.

4) In A Lonely Place Of Dying, where Tim Drake takes up the mantle of Robin, Two-Face is again the main antagonist.

(I'll let you be the judge if Joel Schumacher's inclusion of both Two-Face AND Robin in Batman Forever is additional support for this)

Is this common knowledge that I just wasn't aware of, or is this mere coincidence?

Curious to hear your thoughts!

This happens because Robin is another face from Batman( is the other side of the coin)

@black_arrow: Ahhhh I knew I overlooked something. Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. Do you happen to know when this idea was first put forward?

I don't know if that is the official reason, but it makes sense. Moreover, since the character has the obsetion with duality and the number two (giggle), it makes sense to include him in stories about the Batman/Robin duo. Plus Robin always kinda was the necessary part of Batman that kept him from his own dark side... it kind of makes sense.

Also let's not forget that two face is a major villain with a lot of personal links to Batman, like the Joker, so he will appear very often in very important stories. If you think about it, the Joker also has a close relationship to a lot of Robins (although not as important as the one you mentioned).
