The Guys
Roy Harper a.k.a. Arsenal... was raised among the Navajo, by a man named Brave Bow, after his father’s death in a fire. When Brave Bow realized that he was dying he put Roy into the Green Arrow-Oliver Queen’s path. He was the Green Arrow’s sidekick all during his adolescence, but their partnership was rocky at best. Ollie spent most of his time with his girlfriend Dinah Lance (the Black Canary) and his best friend Hal Jordan (the green Lantern.) Roy was left on his own and eventually turned to drugs. He got himself cleaned up, had a kid with an assassin, and rejoined the Titans. Needless to say, he has issues. He just wouldn’t admit to them.
Dick Grayson a.k.a. Nightwing... whose story everyone knows. Dick's aerialist parents were killed by Tony Zucco and he was taken in by Bruce Wayne, the Batman. He was Robin for ten years until a bullet wound in the shoulder made Batman force him into retirement. Dick created his own identity, Nightwing, and has gone through several costume changes and relationships since he came out of the Bat’s shadow. He currently leads the Titans (of which he is an original member) and lives in Bludhaven, fighting crime. While He still has issues with Bruce, Dick has come into his own as both a superhero and a man.

This tragedy changed Bruce and eventually led him to fight crime and protect Gotham City as Batman. He took Dick Grayson on as his sidekick, Robin, when he saw Dick’s parents die. They were partners for nearly ten years until Dick was shot by the Joker. Bruce freaked and forbade Dick from even donning the Robin costume again. After Dick became Nightwing, Bruce took on a new Robin, Jason Todd. Jason, while on a search for his mother, killed by the Joker. He was eventually replaced by Tim Drake, the current Robin.
