Dick Grayson

Richard John "Dick" Grayson (Born October 24, 1996), was the son of acrobats John and Mary Grayson. When he was twelve, his parent would be murdered during a performance. Bruce Wayne would witness this, and would then take in the boy. Following this he trained the boy to become his partner as Batman. Dick would become Robin. Once, Dick found his own team, he would take on the moniker of Nightwing, since then he has been leading the spec-ops team known as the Outsiders.

Early Life (1996-2008)
Dick Grayson was born to Haly's Circus acrobats, John and Mary Grayson, who made up the dynamic duo known as the Flying Graysons. Growing up, Dick would travel with his parent and the circus form city to city, and country to country.

When he was 12, they were set to hold a performance at the founding place of Haly's Circus, that being Amusement Mile, Gotham City. At the performance, a great attention would be put upon Bruce Wayne attending the show. Unfortunately, this attention would allow a couple of gangsters to hide behind-the-scenes. During the show, the gangsters would tamper with the trapeze set, leading to John and Mary dying.

At the Grayson's funeral, Bruce would comfort the young boy, and later take him in.

Wayne Manor and Becoming Robin (2008-2014)
Living at Wayne Manor was a whole new experience for Dick. After spending his whole life on the road, being in one place at all times was odd. A great difference was that at the manor there was a caretaker named Alfred. Although, the man would grow to be more like a surrogate grandfather. During this time, Bruce would send Dick to Gotham Academy (before it became a boarding school). There, Dick would meet Commissioner Gordon 's daughter, Barbara Gordon, and the two would become fast friends. At the same time, Bruce began educating Dick in various forms of combat, sciences, weaponry, in addition of investigatory work. During this time, he dated Bette Kane (Bruce's cousin) and Cheyenne Freemont (Bette's best-friend).

When Dick turned 15, he began investigating into his parent's murder using Bruce's training. He quickly learn that Tony Zucco was the cause of his parents death. Donning a red hoody and domino mask, he began to track down the murderer. Eventually, he confronted the man. The man would order his men to kill the boy, but at that moment Batman appeared. Together, Batman and Dick fought the thugs and took down Zucco. Later that night, Zucco would be arrested after the GCPD connected the death of a numerous people to him (including the Grayson deaths).

After being scolded by Bruce, he would reveal that he was the Batman. Following this, Bruce was would make a suit for the boy, and thus, Dick became the boy wonder known as Robin.

A year into being Robin, Dick aided Bruce in taking down various criminals, such as Scarecrow and Two-Face. Towards the end of the year, a new vigilante appeared in Gotham. She would call herself Batgirl. As Robin, he would take up a mystery relationship with the girl for a month until he began investigating her. He would the discover that she was in fact his best-friend, Barbara. The following night, Dick would confront her, and the two would reveal their identities to each other.

In 2014, Dick had left on skiing trip with a couple of his school friends. During his departure, Barbara would be crippled by the Joker. Feeling guilty for being absent, and blaming Bruce for not doing more, he left Gotham and went west. Over the summer, he would travel across the United States, visiting various cities along the way. During his travels, he would meet Superman, and the two would talk for a time. During their talk, Dick was introduced to the 80's mullet rock band known as Nightwing.

At the end of his travels, he would come to Jump City, California. There, he would encounter a fight between a few aliens.
