ARROW
Young, high, and rebelling against society....Roy Harper was a teen on the verge of self-destruction. What he needed was a hand to pull him back from the edge, give him a chance and mentor him in the right way. What he got, was the Joker. The Joker was looking for a sidekick to thwart Robin in his multiple conflicts with the dynamic duo. Joker took the street punk and laced his heroin with smilex. He named him DoDo (a knock on Robin) and took him into the fray.
Then along came Batgirl and Joker needed a girl....enter Harley Quinn. Harley and DoDo got along well....too well for the Joker's taste. He lured DoDo to an abandoned warehouse, beat him to near death with a crowbar and blew up the warehouse. Robin(Grayson) saved him in the nick of time. Robin nursed him back to health and through withdrawal against Batman's wishes. They became best friends. Robin wanted Batman to train Roy. Batman refused. This caused a rift by which Robin left Batman.
Robin assumed the guise of Nightwing and trained Harper himself. Roy showed exceptional ability with firearms, especially the bow. He took the name Arrow and the two went on patrol together.
Arrow was present during the Fall of the Bat.
