**Robin** (real name **Richard John "Dick" Grayson**) is a young vigilante and the main protagonist of the *Teen Titans* franchise. He is the son of acrobats John and Mary Grayson but was orphaned at a young age after the death of his parents and was adopted by billionaire and philanthropist Bruce Wayne/Batman and became his partner and sidekick. However, Robin eventually left Gotham and Batman, moving to Jump City, going on to become the leader of the Teen Titans. He is Starfire's main love interest and becomes her boyfriend by the movie finale and also close friends with Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy.

Robin is based on Dick Grayson, which is confirmed to be his secret identity in the comic spinoff, with several elements of Jason Todd and Tim Drake.

## History

**Richard John "Dick" Grayson** was the son of acrobats Mary and John Grayson, who were a renowned trio of acrobats called the Flying Graysons. However, Mary and John were killed by the crime Tony Zucco when they performed a stunt on the trapeze in the circus ring without their son, due to the rope snapping, leaving Dick an orphan. He was sequentially adopted by the billionaire Bruce Wayne, who was the vigilante Batman.  Eventually, Dick trained to become a vigilante under Batman's to tutelage, becoming his sidekick **Robin**. However, he eventually grew tired of being a sidekick and later  left Batman and Gotham, moving to Jump City to become his own hero. He eventually formed the Teen Titans with Princess Starfire of Tamaran, Beast Boy, Raven, and Cyborg from the Gordanians. His romantic feelings for Starfire grew as the series progresses.

The team find themselves fighting criminals and supervillains to protect their home. Robin's main rival and arch-enemy is the criminal mastermind Slade Wilson, even vowing to one day being the supervillain to justice.

Among his teammates, Beast Boy and Cyborg are Robin's best friends and he shares a strong bond with Raven and currently dating Starfire. Robin later appeared as one of the main characters in *Teen Titans Go! vs Teen Titans*, at least thirteen years after the original series came to a close.
