Returning from the movies one night with their young son Bruce, Thomas and Martha Wayne were brutally slain in a random burglary. From that day Bruce Wayne vowed to avenge his parents and protect others from befalling their fate. Using his inheritance to become skilled in hand-to-hand combat and amass the latest crimefighting equipment, Bruce became the Batman. Assisted by his butler, Alfred Pennyworth, and his ward, Robin, batman fights crime at it's level, becoming a dark specter of the night that strikes fear into the hearts of evil-doers.
Dick Grayson grew up in the circus as a member of the Flying Graysons acrobatic act. When his parents were killed by a mobster, Dick was taken in by Bruce Wayne. As batman, Bruce took Dick on as a partner naming him Robin and channeling his desire for revenge into a healthy dislike for crime in general. As one half of the Dynamic Duo, Robin can scrap it up with the best of them, just watch out for his trademark puns.
