Story[edit | edit source]

When Dick Grayson was a child, he was an acrobatic prodigy travelling with the world-famous "Haly's Circus" along with his parents John and Mary Grayson. The three performers, known as the Flying Graysons, were one of Haly's most famous acts, a fact that went to Dick Grayson's head. Grayson, becoming rather pompous, began to drive away his closest friends Raymond and Raya.

During a major blackout in Gotham City caused by the Riddler, Grayson, who had decided to see a movie while Haly's Circus was in Gotham, was caught alone in the streets. Working with a couple of other kids, Grayson managed to survive the blackout and return to his family at Haly's camp. From the experience Grayson learned not to take his friends for granted and apologized for treating them so poorly.

Haly's Circus hid a dark secret, having been training assassins for the Court of Owls for decades. Unknown to the young acrobat, Grayson had been selected to become the newest Talon for the Court; being groomed to replace Alton Carver.

Dick Grayson's parents were eventually killed by the mobster Tony Zucco on his mother's birthday, leaving the acrobat an orphan. Unable to work as an acrobat anymore, Grayson left the circus, unknowingly escaping his fate of becoming a Talon.

Robin: Boy Wonder[edit | edit source]

After being transferred to the Wayne Care Center, Bruce Wayne would occasionally check up on Grayson and help him out. While Grayson seemed to be recovering well from the tragedy, he would actually sneak out at night in order to conduct his own investigation into the whereabouts of Tony Zucco. Grayson would encounter Batman at various times, and the Bat helped Grayson with his investigation, empathizing with his similar tragedy.

Eventually, Batman brought Grayson to the Batcave and shared his identity as Bruce Wayne. Wayne then offered to help Grayson bring in Tony Zucco, a notion that Alfred Pennyworth was reluctant to accept. Grayson accepted Wayne's offer and Wayne began training him over a period of a few months. After initially having trouble accepting a name, he finally settled on Robin, a reference to an adoration his mother had for the bird.

One night, Batman was tracking the Assassin Lady Shiva before the hero was ambushed and bested by her in combat. Donning his costume early, Robin arrived at Batman's position for his first mission in the field but was no match for the assassin, who spared his life and said they'd meet again.

After six months of training, Dick joined Bruce out on patrol for the first time, but after Dick disobeyed Bruce's orders to stay out of harm's way by taking down a thug he was fired. The next day, Dick informed Bruce that Tusk was planning a robbery at the docks that night in hopes of getting a second chance, but after being rejected, Dick decided to go anyway. After taking out some of Tusk's men, he was captured by Tusk himself, fortunately Bruce showed up just in time. Dick then followed Tusk in a helicopter, after a fight ensued, he managed to knock Tusk into the ocean. Bruce then showed up, deciding to take Dick back as his sidekick.

Early in his career, Robin aided Batman in stopping the debuting Scarecrow who was causing Fear Toxin outbreaks across Gotham. The due pursued Scarecrow on an extended mission to bring him to justice. Eventually, Batman came across Mother and The Orphan and their human trafficking operations. Batman decided to keep Mother's crimes a secret from Dick, due to him seeing similarities between him and her child soldiers.

In his second year as Robin, Dick crashed the Batmobile while escaping Firefly. Even though Batman was ultimately pleased with how Dick acted in the field, he was banned from driving the Batmobile.

At some point, Grayson partnered up and bonded with another teenager Batman had taken under his wing named Barbara Gordon, also known as Batgirl. The pair developed romantic feelings for each other, though they did not engage in an extended relationship.

In LEGO Sets[edit | edit source]

Dick Grayson first appeared in the LEGO Batman 7785-1 set, as Nightwing. He always appeared alongside Batman and without much prominence, but in 2016 we had the launch of the Mighty Micros line where he got his own set for the first time called LEGO Mighty Micros: Robin™ vs. Bane™ where there is the presence of Robin (Dick Grayson) and Bane, all with their respective vehicles and accessories. The Mighty Micros Minifigure has short green legs, green sleeves, black gloves, a yellow cape and a simple print on the front, back torso and face The minifigure, as is usual in the mighty micros theme, is caricatured and cartoonish, always preferring to be more comical than realistic. In particular, the Dick Grayson minifigure in his Robin form is possibly inspired by the Teen Titans reboot, "Teen Titans GO!", and the comics. In 2019 he received another set of the same theme (76093), but this time he appeared with his Nightwing identity. Another standout joint set was the DC Super Heroes Jokerland (76035), where he appeared alongside Batman, Posion Ivy, Harley Quinn, Joker, Penguin, and alongside some titans like Starfire and Beastboy.

Dick Grayson appears in all "DC Super Heroes" or "LEGO Batman" themed games, mostly in the identity of Nightwing, but almost always appears as an extra, bonus or supporting character. Only in the LEGO Dimensions game, in the DLC Teen Titans GO! and in the Mighty Micros themed game for mobile devices (in his identity as Robin and Nightwing), he has some prominence. The person who always (most of the time) appears in the role of Robin in video games is Tim Drake.
