History[]
Later revealed to have been infused with the DNA of Bruce Wayne by an elderly Amanda Waller as part of "Project Batman Beyond", Terry McGinnis was intended to take over the Batman mantle due to its significance. Waller attempted to make Terry's life mirror Bruce's to being orphaned and traumatized, her hired assassin Phantasm refused to go through with it and Waller realized that her action to commit cold blooded murder would tarnish Bruce's legacy rather than continue it. Though Waller canceled the project, Terry himself was born.
In the future where the original superheroes are retired due to old age, Terry himself was a young troublemaker who had a strained relationship with his family. He had once joined a gang against another, the Jokerz, in memory of the Joker (who was killed by Tim Drake) more than once. After multiple scuffles with the Jokerz, he met an elderly Bruce Wayne, who warded him off his property when the young man was caught trespassing in the Batcave. When he returned, his father was murdered by the Jokerz. Grief-stricken, Terry attempted to retaliate against the Jokerz, stealing the latest Batsuit. Unfortunately, due to his lack of training with the suit, he was caught and beaten by authorities, prompting Wayne to take him in under his wing. Under his wing, combined with his street brawn, Terry became an highly effective fighter and vigilante, but relied on Wayne for advice due to his intellect being nowhere close as Wayne himself. Finding out that the Joker had risen from the dead, Terry investigated numerous suspects Tim Drake, the former Robin who had retired due to the mental trauma the Joker had put him through under torture, and Jordan Pryce, a Wayne Enterprises executive who was sacked of his chance to take over the company, but found the latter guilty of conspiring to kill Wayne himself. He later found out that the Joker has access to a directed energy weapon stored in a satellite from orbit, but discovers that Drake may be the Joker himself. When he confronted Drake over it, it was revealed that the Joker had implanted a microchip in Drake containing his consciousness, allowing the Joker to live even if it seemed like he died and plans to destroy Gotham City with the satellite's weapon. After a hard brawl in which time runs out because Terry had inadvertently directed the weapon to the factory, he defeated the Joker by destroying the microchip, banishing the Joker threat once again.
Impressed with Terry's success, Wayne and the recovering Tim Drake acknowledge him worthy of carrying the title of the Batman. Under the former's guidance, Terry started his crusade to defend Gotham from villainy.
