I'm wondering, why is this such a popular trope? Is it because of the novelty in movies and tv of an actor, through split screen, playing as their evil doppelganger? Or is it the sneaking feeling that out there, somewhere, is you exact double, just waiting to cause trouble? Or is it the literary/mythological/historical ideas of old, concerning twins (Romulus and Remus, The Prince and the Pauper, etc.)?
Seems sufficiently fascinating, to kids, in particular, and I wonder why.

There’s an old Batman story with three Bruce Waynes walking around.
There’s the real Bruce Wayne.
And then there’s Alfred walking around, disguised as Bruce Wayne because the Mirror Man has broken out of jail and is once again telling everybody that BRUCE WAYNE IS BATMAN, and Team Bat is doing everything to discredit the Mirror Man as a CRAZY NUT! Again.
And also Vicki Vale, unbeknownst to the others, suspects Bruce Wayne is Batman, so she hires an actor to dress up as Bruce Wayne to throw suspicion on the Mirror Man’s assertions because LOOK! MIRROR MAN IS A CRAZY NUT!
Also, Batwoman is in it.
It’s some SPECTACULARLY SILLY SILVER-AGE COMIC BOOK CRACK!

Here's the summary from mycomicshop.com. Whoever wrote it deserves the Pulitzer. "With his Van Cleer alias lost to him, Killer Moth decides to steal the identity of Bruce Wayne (whom he imprisons in a vault), then hires a plastic surgeon to alter his face into an exact double of Wayne's, and fools Dick Grayson into believing he is Wayne and Dick doesn't realize [it] at first. The Moth goes out as Batman, enhancing his criminal reputation by making it appear that Batman fears the Moth. Wayne escapes in time to see Killer Moth shot down by one of his own gang, thinking he's been double-crossed. Moth's face is wrecked by the bullets, and the resultant cranial injury causes amnesia in "Batman's Double!"  |
