"Just following a pattern of obsessive behavior instilled in me at an early age."
Dick Grayson AKA Nightwing was the first Robin that the Bat took under his care and the leader of the Titans. Dick has been crime fighting since the age of nine years old ever since the death of his parents at the hands of the powerful mob boss Anthony "Tony" Zucco. Shortly after Dick had started college, him and the Bat had begun to disagree and didn't see eye to eye on a lot of things so the Bat would kick Dick out.
Now, alone and with only one other person to turn to, he heads to Metropolis to ask Superman for advice as Superman smiles and simply tells Dick of a hero on his planet that went by the name Nightwing. Inspired by the Man of Steel's story, he would take up the name Nightwing.
