Terrence "Terry" McGinnis (Batman II, The Tomorrow Knight, The Dark Knight of Tomorrow, The Son of Batman) is a fictional superhero and the main protagonist of the animated television series Batman Beyond, in which he has succeeded Bruce Wayne as the protector of Gotham City. He is voiced by Will Friedle.

Biography Facts:

An image of a 17-year old Terry McGinnis in civilian clothes.

Terry was born in Gotham City on August 18, 2023, to Mary McGinnis, and concieved by an affair she had with Bruce Wayne, Her Husband, a research scientist at Wayne-Powers and an astronomer at Astro-Tech respectively. By his own admission, he was once a "bad kid." A member of a street gang run by youthful racketeer Charlie "Big Time" Bigelow, Terry has his fair share of run-ins with the Gotham City Police while in his early teens, even serving a three-month stint in juvenile hall. Years after Batman is last seen, he finds himself on the run from another street gang, the Jokerz, led by Joker's son, who model themselves after his deceased father the Clown Prince of Crime. Terry flees onto the grounds of Wayne Manor, where an aged Bruce Wayne (neither of which-knows that they are father & son), comes to his defense. The strain of the fight places substantial stress on Bruce's heart, and he collapses. Terry helps Bruce into the mansion and gets him his medication; Bruce proceeds to fall asleep afterwards. Before leaving, Terry notices a bat stuck inside a grandfather clock. As he tries to free it he stumbles upon the entrance to the Batcave.

After Bruce kicks him out, Terry returns home to find his step-father murdered, and later discovers that Derek Powers — who has assumed leadership of a merged Wayne-Powers — is responsible. He seeks Bruce's assistance in bringing Powers down, but despite Terry's insistence, Bruce, still shaken from an ordeal years earlier of having relied on a gun for self-defense, maintains that he has given up the cowl. Terry takes matters into his own hands and steals the latest incarnation of the Batsuit. Bruce admonishes him through the suit's communicator, and even shuts down the suit, leaving Terry helpless in a fight. Terry, however, is able to convince Bruce to help him confront Powers, who ordered Warren's death after the latter discovered Powers' plan to mass-produce biological weapons. In the end, Powers, who has been exposed to his own hazardous chemicals, experiences the onset of his mutation into Blight. Later his son, Paxton takes over the company. Paxton, soon forms a corporate bond with other sons of arch-enemies, like Lex Luthor, Jr., Tank (son of Bane), Devil Ray (son of Black Manta), and Admiral Freeze (the son of Captain Cold). And establish and unorganized crime syndicate, which becomes the building block for the Legion of Doom.

Convinced that there is still a need for a Batman, Bruce hires Terry as his "personal assistant" and begins secretly training him for his new role as Batman. In addition, Bruce assists Terry in the field primarily by keeping in continual contact with the boy at the Batcave.

After Powers' criminal identity is revealed to the public and he finally brings retribution to his stepfather's killers, Terry decides to continue his role as Batman to make up for his past sins, in hope that his heroic role is his chance at redemption.
