Synopsis for "Nightwing: Year One, Chapter One: Only Robins Have Wings"
Robin rushes, late, to aid Batman in fighting Clayface, who is after a baby. He leads Clayface out into the snow, freezing him. While Batman and Robin argue about Robin's tardiness, Clayface aims a gun at them, but it backfires. However, Clayface runs off and Robin chases him into a sewer. There, Clayface almost defeats Robin, but gets washed down by an open pipe.
Batman returns the baby, which happens to be Clayface's child, to its mother who was involved in a domestic dispute.
When the duo returns to the Batcave, Alfred gives Robin a new suit, but Batman rebukes Robin, firing him for not being devoted enough. Fuming, Robin walks away, leaving the new suit behind.
