The Flying Graysons were a traveling family of acrobats working for Haly's Circus. The members of the group were originally the Grayson family, including Dick Grayson. After his parents were murdered by Tony Zucco, the troupe was disbanded, with Dick joining Batman's crusade as Robin, the Boy Wonder.
History[]
The Flying Graysons were once the star attraction of Haly's Circus. Consisting of the husband-and-wife team John and Mary Grayson, plus their son Dick Grayson, they would perform incredible trapeze stunts without safety nets or precautions.
Whilst performing in Gotham City, mob boss Tony Zucco decided to sabotage their act to get the owner, Mr. Haly, to pay him protection money. Burning the ropes with acid, John and Mary Grayson plummeted to their deaths when they finally snapped. The young Grayson would be adopted by Bruce Wayne as his legal ward, later joining his crusade as Robin to avenge his parents' deaths. After he left the circus, the Flying Graysons troupe was disbanded.
