Born to a family of acrobats, Dick Grayson lived an exciting childhood while growing up in the circus. His parents were John and Mary Grayson, and as a family, formed "The Flying Grayson's," famed trapeze artists and acrobats.

These happy times would soon take a turn for the worst, as the mafia had begun targeting the circus. At eight years old, Dick witnessed mob boss Anthony Zucco threaten the circus owner, demanding insurance for the safety of his performers. The owner vehemently refused the extortion and Dick went along his way. Unfortunately, Zucco decided to use the headlining act- which happened to be The Flying Graysons- as an example. Young Dick was helpless as he watched his parents die.

i mean DC comics are more realistic but i dont see my nine years old green belt karate naphew beating me.... is hard to believe he started at that age..
well maybe they changed it... did they? or is in record he started at eight?

LMAO.He would kick your ass at eight.Mine too lol.

I think the age that Dick Grayson had when he became Robin has changed a few times because of events and attempts to don't make Batman look old

I remember that in All Star Batman & Robin (which is the most recent comic I've seen adressing it) Dick Grayson is 12 years old when he becomes Robin, don't know if that's official

Well, that's All Star, so, only in the All Star universe.

All Star ain't a parallel universe, at least it hasn't been tell that it is

*Guy actually reviels candy from his pocket and looks weird*

really?  i'd like to see that little eight year old climb out of his comic book and even try anything with me!"

I was thinking the same thing about Captain America's Bucky -- there's no way I'd let either chumps take me down, much less supervillains.

um... after a couple months with Batman I bet a four-year-old could take you down...

so tim jason and dick where really young.. kids... umm.... do you guys think the batcave is part of never never land park???
