Devin K. Grayson began watching the series "compulsively". Grayson also visited a friend who worked in a comic book store near her apartment in San Francisco and asked her friend about her namesake, Dick Grayson (aka Nightwing). Grayson left the store with a multitude of comics, including "The Dark Knight Returns", "Teen Titans", "", "Watchmen", various issues of "Sandman", and Scott McCloud's "Understanding Comics". She then began cold-calling DC Comics and spoke to "Batman" editor Denny O'Neil, and sent writing samples to editor Scott Peterson. She was eventually offered a job by editor Darren Vincenzo.

Alternative versions of Robin and his status as a crime-fighter with the Justice Society certainly reflected what had gone before. After the events of Flashpoint, Helena Wayne, daughter of Earth-2's Batman and Catwoman served as Robin and became the only partner that Batman had ever had. In this continuity, Bruce Wayne had never adopted Dick Grayson as his ward, so he never became Robin on Earth-2. However, he does appear later, married to Earth-2's Barbara Gordon, who never became Batgirl on Earth-2. The second Talon is shown in "Teen Titans" #38 (2006), the former sidekick of Owlman, created by Geoff Johns and Tony S.
