The Batfamily

Bruce Wayne

Batman is a vigilante and the superhero protector of Gotham City a man dressed like a bat who fights against evil and strikes terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere In his secret identity he is Bruce Wayne a billionaire industrialist and notorious playboy Although he has no superhuman powers he is one of the world's smartest men and greatest fighters His physical prowess and technical ingenuity make him an incredibly dangerous opponent He is also a founding member of the Justice league. When Bruce Wayne watched his parents die at the hands of a back-alley mugger, a part of him changed forever. Vowing to strike fear into the hearts of criminals, Wayne was reborn as Batman. Operating out of Gotham City, Batman has since become a shining force of justice as well as a dark vigilante. While preferring to work alone, the Dark Knight of Gotham City has become a surrogate father figure over the years, acting as both parent and mentor to his wards.

Dick Richard Grayson

Dick Grayson is the adopted son of Bruce Wayne, better known as the vigilante Batman. Trained by the Dark Knight himself, Grayson eventually became Batman's sidekick, the first Robin. After Grayson outgrew his role as Batman's sidekick, he graduated to the role of Nightwing, donning a new costume, and, later, temporarily worked as Batman himself. However, after his secret identity was exposed, Grayson worked undercover as a spy for Spyral, taking the codename Agent 37, before returning to his role as Nightwing once again. As a member of the trapeze artists known as The Flying Graysons, Dick Grayson led a wonderful life until his parents were killed by mobster Antonio Zucco. Heartbroken and alone, Dick was taken in by Wayne and brought under his wing. Dick Grayson trained extensively until he became competent enough to battle crime alongside Batman. The young acrobat took the mantle of Robin, and he and his mentor became the very first incarnation of the Dynamic Duo until Grayson eventually discarded the identity and took up the heroic mantle of Nightwing.

Jason Peter Todd

Jason Todd is Red Hood, a vigilante anti-hero who is a member of the Batman Family and the Outlaws. Jason became the second Robin after Dick Grayson became Nightwing and Batman was in need of a new sidekick. Jason was trained by Bruce, and was his partner until his death at the hands of the Joker. He was resurrected by Talia al Ghul using the Lazarus Pit, and then trained by both the League of Assassins and the All-Caste. He eventually returned to Gotham City under the new alias Red Hood, using more lethal methods to fight crime. A street orphan with more guts than common sense, Jason Todd caught Batman's attention when he attempted to steal the tires off the Batmobile. The Gotham City vigilante later took Jason under his tutelage when the young boy helped him apprehend a gang of criminals. Jason was a skilled crime fighter, albeit one who struggled with the intensity of his emotions. Unfortunately, Jason Todd met a horrific end at the hands of The Joker, an event that continues to haunt Batman to this day. Many years later, it was revealed that Wayne's repeated nemesis Ra’s al Ghul had resurrected Jason, who also discarded the Robin identity in favor of becoming the Red Hood, the most violent and reluctant member of the Bat-Family.

Timothy Jackson Drake

Tim Drake is a vigilante and member of the Batman Family. He became the third Robin at a young age, succeeding Jason Todd as Batman's sidekick. Eventually, he would be forced to give up the identity of Robin and begin wearing the costume of Red Robin when he was replaced by Damian Wayne. After he watched The Flying Graysons perform one evening at the circus, Tim Drake noticed Nightwing performed the same acrobatic maneuvers that Dick Grayson had performed. Confronting him and Batman, Tim was able to prove that he had deduced their secret identities. Reluctant to take another Robin after the apparent death of Jason Todd, Batman eventually relented and trained Drake. More of a detective than a martial artist like Dick or Jason, the young crime fighter was still considered a valued member of the Bat-Family. When he eventually passed down the title of Robin, he adopted the new identity of Red Robin as he continued his work as a hero.

Damian Wayne

Damian Wayne is the son of Batman and Talia al Ghul. This makes him an heir to the world's greatest crime-fighter, and its greatest super-villain Ra's al Ghul. Damian became the fifth Robin, working alongside his father as Batman. After engaging in a questionable relationship with Talia, the daughter of Ra’s al Ghul, Batman learned years later that he had a son, Damian. Raised by Talia and her father, the boy was trained from an early age in the world’s finest martial arts by the League of Assassins. As such, Damian had a very difficult time acclimating himself to his father's methods when they finally met. As Batman trained him to become the next Robin, Damian needed to learn restraint in combat, as his ruthless training conflicted with his Batman's no killing rule. As the boy grew into a teenager, he matured somewhat, establishing a healthy relationship with his father and gaining close friendships with other young superheroes such as Jon Kent and the Teen Titans.
