A must have for any Batman fan young or old who should understand the history of the Bat. In order to understand the death of Robin Boy Wonder the reader must first understand the history of Batman & Robin. Dick Grayson was the first Robin. The son of circus performers who were murdered as the result of dispute with gangsters Batman got involved and took pity on the 12 year old. Of course Batman identified with Grayson seeing the young boy's tragedy as a reflection of his own. Grayson was unofficially adopted by Batman trained in fighting crime and initiated as Robin. Grayson played the role of Robin for six years before moving on to the Teen Titans eventually adopting the name Nightwing. After operating alone for a year and a half Batman came upon a young (again 12 years old) Jason Todd who just so happened to be stealing the tires of the Batmobile. Batman enlisted Todd in the capture of a local crime lord and eventually started teaching the young orphan the ropes of fighting crime.
