1965

1965 was the sixth year of the 1960s and the sixty-fifth year of the 20th century.

Around this time, a terrible tragedy occurred when Haly's Circus was visiting Gotham City. The crime boss known as Tony Zucco sabotaged the Flying Grayson's circus act, causing John and Mary Grayson to fall to their deaths.

The young Dick Grayson, who was about ten years old at that time, survived, as he didn't fall off of the trapeze like his parents did.

With that, Bruce Wayne takes the boy, adopts him, and trains him to become a costumed crime-fighter, and the boy takes on the identity of Robin.
