Flash Facts!
The "DYNAMIC DUOTM" of BATMANTM and ROBINTM has existed foralmost as long as BATMANTM himself, with ROBINTM making his first appearance in 1940.
Having outgrown his BOY WONDERTM identity, Dick Grayson opted to strike out on his own and became NIGHTWINGTM.
WONDER GIRLTM and ROBINTM are founding members of the SUPER HEROTM teengroup, the TEEN TITANSTM.
There have been many to assume the mantle of BATGIRLTM, but the best and greatest has always been Barbara Gordon, daughter of Police Commissioner James Gordon.
