Synopsis

Tale of young Dick Grayson's baptism by fire as he dons the costume of Robin for the first time! Becoming a hero is anything but easy! After a young Dick Grayson's parents were murdered, millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne took the youth in as his ward and changed his life forever. Using his days in the circus as a trapeze artist as a basis for his education, Batman spent months training Dick in the ways of combat and crime fighting. This book presents Dick's baptism by fire as he dons the costume of Robin, the Boy Wonder for the first time and patrols the night by Batman's side. In his earliest adventures, Robin learns very quickly that what he thought would be fun is actually a matter of life and death.

(Suggested Edit) "Robin: Year One" is a four-issue comic book miniseries published by DC Comics, which explores the origin and early adventures of Dick Grayson as Robin, the first sidekick to Batman. Written by Chuck Dixon and illustrated by Scott Beatty and Javier Pulido, the series was released in 2000. It delves into the transformation of Dick Grayson from a young circus acrobat, who tragically loses his parents to a mob hit, into the crime-fighting partner of Bruce Wayne. The narrative covers his initial training under Batman, the forging of his Robin identity, and his first forays into Gotham's criminal underbelly. The miniseries not only fleshes out the psychological and physical challenges Dick faces but also examines his dynamic with Batman, offering insight into their evolving mentor-mentee relationship. This tale is a crucial piece for fans interested in the nuanced backstory of Robin, highlighting themes of vengeance, justice, and the transition from childhood to the burdens of heroism.
