Summary
Bruce Wayne had his hands on the perfect specimen, and he wasted the opportunity. Wayne managed to get his hands on Richard Grayson before the rest of the world, and he had taken the child’s potential and squandered it.
Nonetheless, five years after Batman had foolishly taken the boy in, Slade had an opportunity to right that wrong.
Dick never gets to learn the identity of his guardian, before he becomes Renegade. Years later, between the Teen Titans, a mysterious secret organization, a new crime-lord, and several other puzzle pieces— Dick learns that what he knows may not be all that there is, and maybe he can still be the hero his parents would’ve wanted him to be.
