But when your parents performed, they had everyone’s eyes on them. Just like you do now, kid… I look out there and I see heroes who have proven themselves time and time again, mixed with new faces who want to help. They want to show that they can carry on the legacy of those who have fallen. But we need the one who did it first.”<\/p>\n Dick Grayson, the original Robin, is widely regarded as one of the foremost examples of the sense of legacy that permeates the DC universe, where heroes typically have sidekicks that eventually grow up to surpass them. Even Black Adam recognizes this fact, and said in Dark Crisis <\/em>#1<\/a> that Dick was the best figurehead for a new Justice League, now that the original League members are trapped in cosmic prisons<\/a> at the hands of Pariah.<\/p>\n![\"DC's](\"https:\/\/static1.cbrimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Screen-Shot-2022-09-07-at-101531-AM.png\"\/)
