We cant all have sad stories now can we? d**k Grayson was an twelve-year-old half-gypsy circus acrobat, the youngest of a family act called The Flying Graysons of The Haly Circus. While on tour in Gotham City, he overheard "Boss" Anthony Zucco, a well-known and feared crime-lord, threaten the performers unless the circus's owner paid extortion money. The owner refused, and that night d**k 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. Young d**k felt responsible, because he didn't warn his parents in time. d**k however couldn't catch a break,he was placed in an uncaring juvenile detention center because social services was full. There he was unmercifully beaten by a group of inmates. Because of this he was sent to a Catholic orphanage. Bruce Wayne rescued d**k by adopting him as his ward but not fully adopting him as his son which he would do later.
He became frustrated by the lack of attention from his new guardian and the fact his parents' death had not been solved yet. One night d**k sneaked out of Wayne Manor one evening to solve the crime on his own - only to stumble into Batman who brought him back to the Batcave only to reveal that he was in fact Bruce Wayne. Offered the chance to become Batman's side-kick d**k went through extensive training to become Robin.
All went well except for a beating his first year by Two-face that batman sidelined him for a bit, until he was 17. The Boy wonder was now basically a man and trying to balance the titans with his own job at Batman's side, to make matters worse he was starting college. When the Joker shot d**k in the shoulder it was the final straw and batman fired him.d**k realized at that point that he had grown up: He no longer relied on Batman and, in fact, he and the Dark Knight disagreed on crime-fighting methodology. His new found independence and Titans' duties in New York left less time for his former commitments in Gotham City. He even dropped out of Hudson after only one semester.
d**k rediscovered his self-worth among the Teen Titans. Batman, however, was less than pleased. He informed d**k that if he no longer wanted to be his partner, then d**k would have to retire as Robin. d**k left Wayne Manor after this fallout. Helping him through this difficult time was his fellow Titans, including Starfire, a beautiful alien d**k had fallen in love with. d**k handed over leadership of the Titans to Wonder Girl.d**k turned to superman for guidance and Clark told him of a man called nightwing on his planet who's story was similar to his.
It was official d**k donned a costume based on his fathers and started his career as nightwing taking over leadership of the titans once more.
