In the Young Justice episode "Performance", the Team joins the circus undercover to locate a thief stealing weapons technology at each of its stops across Europe; although Robin claims that this was a mission assigned by Batman, he actually came up with it himself to protect Jack Haly, whom King Faraday suspects is involved in the thefts. The Team eventually discovers that Parasite has infiltrated the circus and pulls off the crimes using abilities he steals from the various performers. After Parasite is defeated, Haly reveals that he already recognized Robin as Dick Grayson, and the episode ends with Dick performing one last act on the trapeze before returning home.
