Dick Grayson, a.k.a. Nightwing, is one of the minor characters of the Batwheels TV series, where he is a vigilante protector in different cities; prior to said series' events, he and Batman used to fight crime together.
Prior to the events of Batwheels, Richard "Dick" Grayson lived a much similar life to that of his comic book counterpart, where he was the son of skilled acrobatics, John and Mary Grayson; John was also the circus manager. Mary's special nickname for Dick was her little "Robin", named after a red-breasted bird of the same name.
Becoming the OG Robin[]
One day, when Dick was in his early teens, Haley's Circus came to Gotham. While he was preparing for a performance, he overheard a crime boss named Tony Zucco, attempting to extort protection money from the circus owner. The owner refused, and Zucco sabotaged the trapeze wiring with acid. During their next performance on the trapeze, his parents were swinging from ropes when they suddenly broke, causing his parents to fall to their deaths. Afterwards, Dick met Bruce Wayne, one of the crowd members who witnessed the murder, who has paid for the Graysons' funeral costs and has decided to adopt Dick as a foster son.
When Dick soon found out Wayne's secret of being Batman, he begged him to work as a superhero, as well. So, he wore a modified version of his original acrobat costume, going under the alias "Robin". Robin was trained, and quickly began to tag along with Batman on his missions; one of those missions, being bringing Zucco to justice, and putting him behind bars.
Sometime later, Cassandra Cain joined the Dynamic Duo in fighting crime in Gotham, as Batgirl, thus forming the Bat-Family, as she and Dick became friends. Eventually, when Dick left the Dark Knight to become his own hero, Batgirl remained with Batman and Duke Thomas took on the Robin mantle.
While being a solo-hero, Nightwing crafted his own motorcycle, which he calls Nightbike.
I've heard of peeling out, but this is, defiantly, a new one.
