She later proved to be a lost creation of Clayface in order to scout out Gotham for a return. ĭuring one night of working solo, Robin came to the aid of a young girl with amnesia, developing a bit of a crush on the girl, calling her "Annie". With Batman back to normal, Robin was given Batman's praise for doing the right thing. When Batman nearly killed Scarecrow, Robin freed Batman with the antidote. Robin was nearly fooled, but saw through the façade just in time and left in the Batwing to find Scarecrow's hideout. The Dark Knight pretended contrition and offered to let Robin lead if he let him go. As a result, Robin tied up Batman with his grappling hook.

After Batman left a batarang behind at a crime scene, Drake found it and began using it himself.
