Already entrenched in the Batcave and his official training complete, young Dick Grayson has a world of experience to gain and a ton of new enemies to make—beginning with the truly insane Mad Hatter! The early days of the Boy Wonder begin here!
Greetings!
Dick Grayson is one of the best heroes in DC’s stable of heroes. Before he donned the name Nightwing, he was Batman’s trusty sidekick!
Robin Year One takes us through the early days of Dick’s crime fighting journey. This is one of my all time favorites. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
My favorite version would probably be either Young Justice or Batman: The Animated Series.
This version of Dick seem like his is very capable of becoming Batman’s assistant even though he is very new to crime fighting. We can see this in his ability to follow clues to find and defeat the Mad Hatter and his ability to take down Strike. He also seem like he is a little eager to please Batman. He doesn’t seem to have the anger towards Bruce like he will in the future and we see Alfred wondering if what Bruce is doing is in Dick’s best interest.
Thanks for recommending this run @MattMcDonald. I really enjoyed this year one series, it was a quick read and seemed to keep me intrigued throughout the four issues.
I haven’t read enough of Dick Grayson to have a favorite yet.
This story painted him in a beautiful, hopeful, youthful light and I really enjoyed it. I like how Alfred compared Bruce and Dick’s responses to the tragedy of losing their parents. Reading stories of the Bat-Family from Alfred’s perspective is gold!

This was a compelling story. Thanks for another great pick, Matt!
