As a member of the Flying Graysons acrobatic family, young
Dick Grayson thrilled audiences nightly on the high wire
beside his circus aerialist parents. But when gangster “Bossâ€
Zucco sabotaged the high wire because the owner of
Haly’s Circus refused to offer up protection money, the
elder Graysons paid with their lives. Billionaire Bruce
Wayne was in the audience that night; however it was
BATMAN who visited the grieving Dick Grayson, offering
the boy a chance at retribution by becoming Robin,
the Dark Knight’s squire in his personal war on crime.
DICK GRAYSON
The first Robin was carefully schooled by Batman,
learning all the skills he would need to bring
“Boss†Zucco to justice. Before
long, Dick was ready for action.
Swearing a solemn oath, he joined the
Dark Knight’s crusade as his most
trusted partner, Robin the Boy Wonder.
After several years in service to the Dark
Knight, Grayson—then leader of the TEEN
TITANS—relinquished the mantle of Robin
when Batman forced him to choose between his duties with the
Titans and his promise to aid the Dark Knight. Adopting the
identity of NIGHTWING, Dick continued to battle crime while
remaining Batman’s close ally.
