Dick Grayson was the only child of a circus couple, and was part of their
flying trapeze act known as "The Flying Graysons."  Some crooks trying to
extort the circus owner, put acid on the trapeze ropes, and the ropes broke
during his parents part of the act.  They had no net, and were killed while
young Dick looked on helplessly.  Batman who had been there trying to get the
crooks saw the tragedy, but couldn't help.  When he found young Dick, he
recounted how he too had lost his parents to criminals, and had vowed to
fight crime.  Young Dick wished to take the same vow, and so Batman took him
on as apprentice, since he figured young Dick's acrobatic skills would give
the kid an edge, and he also liked the idea of having a dedicated proetege.
