Dick Grayson isn’t a circus performer in this version—his family was caught in the Gotham flood, killed due to government negligence and corporate greed (possibly tied to Ferris Boyle’s shady relief efforts). Left orphaned and struggling to survive in the city’s post-disaster ruins, he becomes street-smart, developing athletic skills, resourcefulness, and an independent nature—traits that make him an ideal fit for Batman’s mission. Bruce sees himself in Dick, but he struggles with the idea of mentorship—he doesn’t want a sidekick, but Gotham’s next protector.
