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, the original Robin, was a master of Savate and other forms of martial arts.

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.

The first incarnation of the character, Dick Grayson, debuted in Detective Comics # 38 ( April 1940 ).

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.

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.

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.

Some outside the comic book community mistakenly thought that DC was considering killing Dick Grayson, not realizing he had been replaced.

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.

Tim was introduced as a happy medium between the first two Robins in that, from the readers ' point of view, he is neither overly well behaved like Dick Grayson nor overly impudent like Jason Todd.

After Batman's apparent death during Final Crisis, Talia leaves her son under Dick Grayson and Alfred Pennyworth's care and Damian is deeply affected by his father's absence.

On Earth-Two, home of the Golden Age version of DC's superheroes, Dick Grayson continued to be Robin even as an adult, having no successors, and even after Batman's death.

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

The Dick Grayson version of Robin also appears in Batman: The Animated Series, voiced by Loren Lester.

The animated series Teen Titans features Robin ( voiced by Scott Menville ) as the leader of a team of young heroes ; it is hinted that it is Dick Grayson.

When the Teen Titans animated season two, episode eleven, " Fractured ", introduced their version of Bat-Mite he stated that he was Robin's DNA buddy ( genetic twin ) and was given the more pronounceable nickname " Larry " by Beast Boy, after Larry had given the team his real name, Nosyarg Kcid or Dick Grayson spelled backwards.

This idea, that Robin is in fact Dick Grayson, is further supported in Teen Titans in an episode in which Starfire travels to the future, and Robin has taken the identity of Nightwing.

His portrayal is based mainly on Burt Ward's Dick Grayson.
