™ and © DC Comics

Long before the Titans and his solo career as Nightwing, Dick Grayson fought alongside Batman as the original Robin. Brightly clad in red, yellow, and green, the Boy Wonder’s youthful wit and exuberance provided a much-needed balance to the grim demeanor of the Dark Knight.

But as Bruce Wayne’s ward, the previously carefree circus acrobat was swept up in a world unlike any he had experienced before. As a performer, Dick was used to hours of practice, but now he has to juggle a regular school schedule and society functions with nightly patrols and intensive training sessions with both Batman and Alfred.

This series explores Dick’s struggle to live a normal childhood, while still living up to the extreme expectations of his new mentor. And though he faces several of Batman’s enemies, it is his encounter with Two-Face that will have the most effect on the young hero.
