Dixon and Beatty would go on to become one of Nightwing’s primary writers over the years, and the art team of Pulido and Martin really elevate the story to a new level. Although Grayson’s origin has been told before and since numerous times, this story narrated by Alfred really gets to the heart of the character to do more than show you what happens but get inside his thinking. This essential story-arc by writers Chuck Dixon and Scott Beatty along with artist Javier Pulido and Marcos Martin really rises to the challenge in terms of quality of Batman: Year One that came before.
Robin: Year One: Before Grayson ever became Nightwing, he served as Batman’s sidekick Robin. Normally we try to limit Where Do I Start to five books at maximum, but Nightwing’s far-ranging history as Robin, Nightwing and other guises left us six standalone stories that are great primers for getting to know Dick Grayson. And on the occasion if Wayne is absent or unable to carry on as Batman, Grayson has shown himself time and time again as Bruce’s ideal replacement to carry on the Batman legacy. Although he eventually shucked off the Robin guise for his own identity as Nightwing, Grayson continued to fight crime in the tradition pioneered by his mentor Bruce Wayne. Since his debut under the domino mask in 1940 as Robin way back in Detective Comics #38, Dick Grayson has been one of Batman’s most trusted allies, friends and even family.
He’s gone by several names in his long history in comics, but Dick Grayson has proven himself to be one of the most enduring and evolving crimefighters comics has ever seen.
