Franchise: Batman
Robin, nicknamed "The Boy Wonder" is the partner/side-kick of Batman. Dick Grayson is the original Robin, with others succeeding him (Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Damian Wayne) after he became Nightwing. Before he became Robin, Dick was an acrobatic and part of a circus act called "The Flying Graysons" alongside his parents. When a mafia failed to exort the circus owner, he sabotaged the trapeze ropes, resulting in he death of DIck's parents.
Having lost his own parents to criminals, Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) took Dick under his wing where he eventually became Robin.
Batman teaches Robin necessary skills to be a crime fighter such as several martial arts, stealth, forensics and escapology. Like Batman, Robin has no super powers but makes up for it by reaching the maximum limits of human potential through intensive training. His agility and acrobatic skills are rivaled by few.
