One night though James Gordon Jr. attacks Barbara with a cooking knife and his father must send him to Arkham Asylum. Eventually Bruce Wayne decides to adopt Dick and he goes to live at Wayne Manor. Still feeling hatred and a need for vengeance Grayson leaves at night to find leads and track down Zucco, one night Batman comes across Dick and reveals his identity to the boy. Seeing that the kid needs closure and needs to find a way to avenge his parents, Bruce decides to train Dick and to make him his side-kick, taking on the mantle becoming the very first Robin. THE UOUNGER CHARACTERS LIKE DICK BARBARA AND JIM JR WILL BE DEAGED, because I am casting as if entire show is shot at same time so they are being casted to their series finale ages.
