Fictional History
The Flying Graysons are a group of trapeze artists consisting of mother (Mary Grayson), father (John Grayson) and son (Dick Grayson). They worked at Haly's Circus, and during a trapeze show, John and Mary Grayson were murdered by crime boss Tony Zucco. Bruce Wayne was in the circus and saw everything. Bruce remembered what had happened to him as a child, so he decided to take the little Grayson. Some time later, Dick became the first Robin and decided to avenge the death of his parents. In the Bronze Age, a few years after the death of John and Mary, Haly's Circus created an all-new Flying Graysons, but one of them was a criminal and was arrested by Robin (Dick Grayson). In Blackest Night Batman #1, John and Mary Grayson were brought back from death by the Black Lanterns and attacked Dick, Tim Drake and Damian Wayne.
