10 Things DC Comics Want You To Forget About Two-Face

5. He Hates All The Robins

If you join all the dots, Harvey Dent is more of an arch enemy to Batman's sidekicks than to the Dark Knight himself. Over the years Two-Face has been a constant menace to the various orphans who have take up the role of Robin, perhaps hinting that he doesn't really like kids, so it's probably best he had nothing to do with those twins of his. That is, if the way he's treated Dick Grayson, Jason Todd and Tim Drake is anything to go by. In the Robin: Year One storyline he tricks the young Grayson into a scenario where he has to chose to save the life of either Batman or Gotham Judge Lawrence Watkins. It turns out it's a trick to mess with the kid's head, as he unleashes a Batarang that cuts down both Bats and Watkins from their nooses, only for Watkins to plummet into the open water that was secretly beneath him and drown. Not content with the psychological scars he's just inflicted on the poor kid, Two-Face then orders his henchman to beat the stuffing out of him. Perhaps worse was the effect he had on controversial second Robin Jason Todd's life, since it was Dent who killed his father and orphaned him. To be fair, the elder Todd had been a hired goon for he supervillain, and was dispatched following a botched job, but it still mightily screwed up the kid and lead him to be a terrible sidekick to the Dark Knight and later a crazed villain. The third Robin, Tim Drake, has thankfully never been too battered - emotionally or otherwise - by Two-Face, besides your average ass-whupping during his and Batman's ongoing battles against him. Damian was spared the courtesy, too, so maybe he's broken out of the cycle and returned to being a Batman villain, rather than a Robin one.
