Ah, the joys of misspent youth. I remember watching Batman every week
(even twice for a while). Whenever they had occasion to mention the
civilian identities of Batman and Robin, it was always:

Millionaire Bruce Wayne, and
His Youthful Ward, Dick Grayson.

I seem to recall stumbling across the origin story somewhere once (maybe
\\Fantastic Origins of Comic Superheroes// or some similar title. I'm pretty
sure they were circus aerialists, and I believe they got it while attempting
to stop a gang from making off with the circus' receipts from a performance.
