Richard "Dick" Grayson, also known as Nightwing (originally Robin), is a superhero from DC Comics. He appeared in the 99th episode of Death Battle, Nightwing VS Daredevil, where he fought against Daredevil from Marvel Comics.
History
Dick Grayson was once a part of the family of acrobatics known as the "Flying Graysons" working for a traveling circus. But his life would change forever when the circus arrived at Gotham City, after a failed extortion with a crime boss, Dick watched in horror as a snapped support cable sent his parents hurtling to their death. Now an orphan, Dick was adopted by billionaire Bruce Wayne, and soon learned of his secret identity as Batman. Bruce then trained the young Dick as his disciple and potential successor. Thus, Dick took on the name of "Robin", the Boy Wonder, Batman's trusty ward and partner. But as Dick grew older, he started to resent the title of the Boy Wonder, and eventually parted ways with Bruce. Traveling to the city of Blüdhaven, Dick desired to make a difference for himself and put his training to use, donning the new alter-ego of "Nightwing" and becoming that city's protector. While he prefers flying solo, he still holds a lot of respect for his mentor and will help him whenever he can.
