Robin the Boy Wonder was actually Richard John Grayson AKA Dick Grayson, the youngest of a family of circus aerialists, who witnessed his mother and father plunging to their deaths from a sabotaged trapeze. This murder was also observed by wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne. Wayne took the youngster under his wing. And when Batman recounts the murder of his own parents, Dick asks to become his aide. After extensive training, Dick becomes Robin.
