When Jean-Paul Valley became too violent to be Batman, Dick Grayson (Nightwing) took over. Bruce Wayne could not be Batman, because his back was broken by Bane in Knightfall.

Robin from Batman, whose real name was Dick Grayson, was also named "The Boy Wonder." As Dick Grayson he was also referred to as Bruce Wayne's youthful ward meaning young ward of the state. At one poing in the comic book series, Robin also took time away from Batman to travel the world in an attempt to establish himself as Batman's equal. During this time he was known was "Nightwing." Before he became Robin, Dick Grayson was a part of the Flying Grayson's acrobatic family that peformed for Haley's Circus with his family. All of the Grayson family members were killed, with the exception of Dick, when gangster Tony Zucco sabotaged the high wire when the circus owner resisted Zucco's attempt to extort protection money from him.


What was Batman and Robin s real name?

Dick GraysonNote...It is never actually mentioned throughout the series, but there are many clues!!In the episode "Go!", which is supposed to take place at the very beginning of the series, Robin stops a bank robber and:Bank Robber (To Robin), "Hey, this isn't your town. Aren't you supposed to be with...?"Robin. "Just moved here. And from now on, I work alone."According to the comics (there's a few different versions), the original Robin(Dick Grayson) is morally against something that Batman does-- usually he's too violent for Robin-- and so, Robin leaves Batman and ends his sidekickship. This is quite ironic, considering that Robin was the FIRST sidekick ever created, first appearing in DETECTIVE COMICS #38 in 1940, and now, some 69 years later, Robin is no longer sidekick, but a fully graduated hero.Continuing with the comics, Robin moves to Bludhaven and adopts a new super-hero identity, known as Nightwing. In episode 14 of Teen Titans, "How Long Is Forever?", Warp sends Starfire into the future, in which she meets an older version of the Robin she once knew-- he is now called Nightwing. Considering that Dick Grayson is the ONLY Robin who develops into Nightwing, this is a pretty big hint of Robin's secret id.More proof: The comic version of Grayson had a long term romance with Starfire. So does the animated Teen Titans' Robin.Comics' Grayson often became obsessed with cases and shut out his teammates in the process until he found a way to win. So does the animated Teen Titans' Robin.Comics' Grayson is extremely competitive, in everything from video games to battling. So is the animated Teen Titans' Robin.In the episode where Robin fractures his arm, Larry comes (his"DNA buddy"=his double from the other side of the universe) he says his name is Nosyarg Kcid which is Acually Dick Grayson back-words so;In the Teen Titans Robin's secret identity is Dick Grayson
