Bio: John, Mary and Dick Grayson comprised the circus
act "The Flying Graysons." With breathtaking aerial stunts, John and
Mary made a very worthwhile attraction at the circus, but their
young son, Dick Grayson, was just as popular as they were. Though
young, Dick was able to perform stunts that were just as daring, if
not more so, than his parents.
When Tony Zucco, a Gotham mob boss, and his brothers tried to use
their intimidation tactics to coerce the Grayson family to pay Zucco
"protection money" from other mob bosses in the city, John Grayson
would not stand for it. Dick had called the police minutes after
Zucco first appeared in their big top tent and the call was
intercepted by The Batman who quickly took down Zucco and his
brothers, even managing to knock one of his brothers out, allowing
the police to take him away.
Swearing revenge on The Batman and the Graysons for the loss of his
brother, Zucco planned the death of the Graysons by removing two
nuts from the railings of the Graysons trapeze act. While swinging
back and forth, Mary Grayson noticed the loose bolts and looked at
her husband who quickly knew what would happen. The trapeze fell
apart before young Dick Grayson's part of the act started and Dick
watched his mother and father fall to their death.
Dick Grayson was taken in as a foster son by Bruce Wayne, who saw
shades of himself in Dick after his own parent's murder.
