Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson – panel from Batman # 84 ( June 1954 ), page 24

* In Issue # 3 ( January 1976, shortly after Monty Python began being broadcast in the U. S .) of the comic book title Batman Family the joint exploits of Batgirl ( Barbara Gordon ) and Robin ( Dick Grayson ) the story " Isle of a Thousand Thrills " borrowed the scenario of a land where anything anybody thinks of is quickly brought to life.

Dick Grayson is one such example, having outgrown the mantle of Robin when he was under Batman and taken up the new identity of Nightwing.

As Robin, Dick Grayson made regular appearances in Batman related comic books and other DC Comics publications from 1940 through the early 1980s until the character set aside the Robin identity and became the independent superhero Nightwing.

Following the retirement of Dick Grayson as Robin, a new version of the character, Jason Todd, debuted in Batman # 357 ( 1983 ).

In the final issue of Battle for the Cowl, Bruce Wayne's son, Damian Wayne becomes the new Robin after rescuing Tim from death, working first with Grayson ( who substituted as Batman ), and then his returned father.

To minimize the change, they made the new Robin, Jason Peter Todd, who first appeared in Batman # 357 ( 1983 ), similar to a young Grayson.

Like Dick Grayson, Jason Todd was the son of circus acrobats murdered by a criminal ( this time the Batman adversary Killer Croc ), and then adopted by Bruce Wayne.

Weeks later, after Dick Grayson became Nightwing and Todd proved his crime-fighting worth by helping Batman catch a gang of robbers, Batman offered Todd the position as Robin.

After Bruce Wayne's apparent death during Final Crisis, Todd attempted to usurp the Mantle of the Bat by battling Tim Drake and Dick Grayson during Battle for the Cowl as a brutal and murderous version of Batman.

He ended Tim Drake's run as Robin after he severely injured him, but was later defeated by Grayson who assumed the role of Batman with his former mentor's biological son, Damian, as the new Robin.

After Battle for the Cowl, Grayson adopted the mantle of Batman, and instead of having Tim ( who he viewed as an equal, rather than a protégé ) remain as Robin, he gave the role to Damian, who he felt needed the training that his father would have given him.

He appeared to have died during the 1985 miniseries Crisis on Infinite Earths, in which the DC Multiverse was reduced to one Universe, and this version of Grayson, as well as the Earth-Two Batman, were deemed never to have existed.

Robin ( Dick Grayson ) was portrayed by Douglas Croft and Johnny Duncan, respectively, in the 1943 and 1949 fifteen chapter Batman serials.
