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 wake of The New 52, Tim Drake later takes on the identity of Red Robin while Jason Todd still operates as the Red Hood, and Dick Grayson reclaims his role as Nightwing.

) Although Robin is best known as Batman's sidekick, the Robins have also been members of the superhero group the Teen Titans-with the original Robin, Dick Grayson, as a founding member and the group's leader and with Tim Drake as the team leader.

In this incarnation, he was red-haired and unfailingly cheerful, and wore his circus costume to fight crime until Dick Grayson presented him with a Robin suit of his own.

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.

Tim Drake, as Robin, co-founded the superhero team Young Justice in the absence of the Teen Titans of Dick Grayson's generation, but would then later re-form the Teen Titans after Young Justice disbanded following a massive sidekick crossover during which Donna Troy was killed.

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.

Grayson temporarily took over as Batman ( while Wayne was traveling through time ), using the aid of Damian Wayne, making his newish appearance as " Robin ", to defeat and imprison Todd.

DC was initially hesitant to turn Grayson into Nightwing and to replace him with a new Robin.

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

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.

This served to connect Drake to Grayson, establishing a link that DC hoped would help readers accept this 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.
