You people are way too confusing. The two towers are Orthanc and Barad-dur, leave it at that! You don't have to argue about it for this long! Dang.

Do remember that this forum is for the books as well as the films.

Ok, this is getting really confuzaboobling. 🤪
I was under the impression that the Two Towers were Orthanic and Barad-dur. There was no argument in my mind. Now you people have made me become even more insane than I was naturally! 🤪

Well it is confusing
In the film, it is clearly stated : Orthanc and Barad-dur (everybody agrees on that, right?)
In the book, it is not specified, not clearly in the book, not by the publishers and not clearly by JRR Tolkien himself
The title was chosen by the publishers, not by JRR Tolkien. And the screenwriters of the film gave a meaning to it (otherwise it would be confusing for the public.

That contradicts, so no wonder it is confusing you.

For what I've read, Tolkien leaned more to Orthanc (book 3, Merry-Pippin-etc against Saruman) and Minas Morgul (book 4, Frodo-Sam against Shelob) (see covers) ... (book 3)
[Barad-dur is more present in The Return of the King imo]
