Following the death of his parents Dick Grayson became the protégé of Batman. His natural athletic ability and sharp mind made him and eager pupil for Bruce Wayne. As Robin the Boy Wonder he spent his teen years as the Dark Knight's partner and the leader of the super alliance known as the Teen Titans.
