I was just like you once. I thought if I leaned on someone, if I trusted them, all the pain would go away. I was wrong. And anyone that tells you any differently is lying. The loss is here for good now. There's no getting over it. But you can control it. You can channel it. No one else can do that for you. Just you. - — Dick Grayson src

History
Early life
Dick Grayson was the son of Mary and John Grayson, The Flying Graysons of the Haly's Circus. Dick joined the act at a very young age, having been trained in acrobatics from birth. While on tour in Gotham City, his parents were murdered by the crimelord Tony Zucco, at the behest of the Maroni Crime Family. That night, Dick watched in horror as his parents' high wire snapped, sending they hurtling to their deaths, all while many of Gotham's elite watched on.
Seeing a reflection of himself in Dick; the billionaire Bruce Wayne adopted him as his ward and took him to live with him at the Wayne Manor, but the boy did not want to replace his deceased parents with the billionaire. Frustrated by the mystery still surrounding his parents' death, Dick sneaked out of Wayne Manor several times to solve the crime on his own, stealing one of Bruce's cars.[2][3][4]
Robin
Eventually, Bruce brought Grayson to the Batcave, and shared his identity as Batman. The hero made the young orphan the offer to become his crime-fighting partner; Robin, andlater his training began.Which included killing a wolf in a forest. Eventually, Dick met and befriended Wonder Woman's sidekick, Donna Troy, at Waynor Manor.[3][5][6]
In Gotham, Dick battled Jinx, a magic user he needed Constantine's help to defeat. At some point, Dick became romantically involved with the commissioner's daughter and vigilante Barbara Gordon. Together, they defeated Lady Vic and Bivens, but Dick and Barbara's relationship later ended under unknown circ*mstances. In 2016, Dick had the chance to kill Tony Zucco, but instead, he let the Maroni Family kill him.[7][8][4]
The First Titans
Dick later became partner with the vigilantes Hawk and Dove. He had a brief affair with Dove, and they teamed up with Hawk, Donna Troy, and Aqualad, forming the Titans, a group of vigilantes from California who fought criminals such as Dr. Light and Deathstroke. At some point after Dick left Gotham, Barbara was shot by the Joker, requiring her to use a wheelchair and ending her career as a vigilante, and the commissioner was killed by Mr. Freeze. Eventually, the Titans were disbanded and left the Titans Tower when Aqualad was killed by Deathstroke and then his son Jericho, whom Dick briefly brought to the team.[9][10][11][12]
The Second Titans
After that, Dick went to Detroit and became a member of the Detroit Police Department, where he met his new partner Amy Rohrbach and the human/demon hybrid kid Rachel Roth.[2]
