Dick was initially furious upon learning that Bruce was Batman and blamed him for his family's deaths. He saved a teenage girl from a street gang, who had him outnumbered until Batman arrived. Seeing great potential in Dick as a crime fighter, Alfred assured Dick that 'broken wings mend in time' and promised 'one day Robin will fly again'.Īfter discovering the Batcave, he decided to go for a joyride in the Batmobile. When Alfred brought up the image of a Robin on Dick's motorcycle helmet, he told Alfred that he once saved his brother's life after Mitchell's wire broke by swinging out and grabbing him ('I flew in like a Robin.'), earning tremendous respect from his father who praised him as a hero. Nevertheless, Dick quickly struck up a friendship with Alfred Pennyworth, affectionately calling him 'Al'. Sometime later, Commissioner Gordon took Dick to Wayne Manor where Bruce, feeling partly to blame for the murder of Dick's family and knowing what it's like to lose a family, took him in, though Dick did not want to stay (for long, at least). As a result, Two-Face shot apart one of the harnesses that were keeping the rest of Dick's family hanging, causing them to fall down to the hard ground below, dying on impact. Dick returned and was heartbroken to see the dead corpses of his whole family, and becomes obsessed with getting revenge against Two-Face.

While Dick successfully disposed of the orb, Two-Face flipped his coin to decide the fate of Dick's family the coin landing on the scarred side. While they were on tour in Gotham City, their show was interrupted by Two-Face who, along with his henchmen, held the audience and entertainers hostage with an orb hung from the top of the tent filled with two hundred sticks of TNT controlled with a radio detonator set to go off in two minutes, but would disarm it in exchange for Batman revealing his secret identity.īruce Wayne, who was in attendance at the circus, tried to sacrifice himself, but due to the screaming of the terrified audience, Two-Face was unable to hear him. The Graysons selflessly decided to help everyone by destroying the explosive device themselves. They went all across the globe with the rest of the circus with their astounding acts. They were a team of acrobats called the Flying Graysons who worked in a circus along with his elder brother Mitchell. Richard Grayson was the youngest son of John and Mary Grayson.
