Professor Nichols was a friend of Batman and Robin who developed a means of time travel by hypnosis.
History
Professor Nichols was a respected scientist living in Gotham City who developed a means of displacing physical bodies into the time stream by way of hypnosis.[1] His procedure earned him the attention of Gotham's resident crime fighters, Batman and Robin, who often relied upon the Professor's genius in order to solve crimes involving time travel.[2][3] Besides Batman and Robin, Professor Nichols used his technique to send various people back in time including himself[4].
After years of experimentation, Nichols made a scientific breakthrough when he actually developed a Time Machine.[5] No longer requiring the power of hypnosis to accomplish his goals, he could now transmit bodies of matter backwards and forward through time with his new invention.
