She then kissed him to learn English, and told him to leave her alone unless he wanted to be destroyed. After a brief yet fierce confrontation where even the Boy Wonder appeared to meet his match, Robin helped Starfire by freeing her from her chains. Robin met up with Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven when Starfire came to Earth and started destroying the city. Robin eventually left Batman, and moved to another city (though it is known to still be close to Gotham) to continue fighting crime, though this time he intended to go solo. For reasons undisclosed in the show, but the actual reason being that after being shot, Batman tried to take Robin out of the field, but Robin thought he was being treated like a kid and was about to give up being a hero with Batman (calling it “Kid Stuff”). Through the years of working with the Dark Knight, he was greatly trained mentally and physically in ways no other child was. Together, Batman (Bruce) and he disrupted Zucco’s extortion rackets and gambling rackets and then successfully baited the riled Zucco into visiting a construction sight, where they captured him. He was adopted by Bruce Wayne after his parents were killed by Zucco, and became Robin. 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.īefore he could go to the police, Batman appeared, and warned him that the two gangsters worked for Tony Zucco, a very powerful crime boss, and that revealing his knowledge could lead to his death. The owner refused, and the two gangsters sabotaged the trapeze wiring with acid. While he was preparing for a performance one day, he overheard two gangsters who worked for a crime boss named Tony Zucco attempt to extort protection money from the circus owner. As a child, he and his parents were a family of circus acrobats known as The Flying Graysons. So it was clever that Mark Waid (the writer) and Alex Ross (the artist) decided that Nightwing and Starfire had a daughter and worked her into the story line.ĭo you have any thoughts on the love child known as Nightstar? Leave a comment.Robin was born as Richard "Dick" Grayson to John and Mary Grayson. This makes sense considering how much fans have adored the relationship that her parents have had. She had Starfire’s glowing eyes and flight, while wearing a costume that resembled what Nightwing used to wear.Īfter doing some research, in turns out that after the Kingdom Come series, Nightstar has appeared in other spin-off comics where she plays a more prominent role. Even so, the thought that Nightwing and Starfire had a daughter is intriguing and cannot be denied. (Clever name, no?)īeyond the first issue, Nightstar appears alongside Batman, but never has any focus in the Kingdom Come series. Apparently, Nightwing and Starfire had a daughter, and her name was Nightstar. Why does all of this matter? Because in the first issue of the story, when we see super heroes inadvertently destroying the city, one of them seems familiar.
Superman needs to intervene to keep the peace, but ends up failing and eventually goes berserk against the United Nations. Nightwing and Starfire had a daughter!Īs I have discussed before, Kingdom Come is a story about the future of super heroes, where the next generation neglects the responsibility of their powers and endangers mankind. But the most startling revelation about their relationship was revealed in issue 1 of Alex Ross’ Kingdom Come. Even after Dick changed from Robin to Nightwing, they moved in together and almost got married. Ever since Starfire locked lips with Dick Grayson in order to learn English, the two of them have developed a relationship.
