Bruce Wayne rescued Dick by adopting him as his ward, because the boy did not want to replace his deceased father with the billionaire. He got beaten up by a number of the inmates, and he was later sent to a Catholic orphanage. Shortly after the tragedy, as shown in Batman: Year Three and Year One Annual: Robin, Dick was placed in an uncaring juvenile services system, on the grounds that social services was full. Young Dick felt responsible, because he didn't warn his parents in time. The owner refused, and that night Dick watched in horror as his parents' high wire snapped, sending his parents hurtling to their deaths, all while many of Gotham's elite watched on. While on tour in Gotham City, he overheard 'Boss' Tony Zucco, a well-known and feared crime-lord, threaten the performers unless the circus's owner paid extortion money. From that time on Tim's one and only hero in the world was Dick. Before one appearance in Gotham, in which The Flying Graysons were the main attraction, they were asked to pose for a photo opportunity with the Drake Family, including their young son Tim Drake. Dick joined the act at a very young age, having been trained in acrobatics from birth. Little did she know how prophetic this term of endearment would be in her son's life.ĭick Grayson was a twelve-year-old Romany circus acrobat, the youngest of a family act called The Flying Graysons of The Haley Circus. Young Dick Grayson was born on the first day of spring. The name 'Robin the Boy Wonder' and the medieval look of the original costume were inspired by the legendary hero Robin Hood, as well as the red-breasted American Robin, which continued the 'flying animal' motif of Batman. For many years, Richard 'Dick' Grayson was Batman's sidekick Robin.
