Description

The Tomorrow Knight of Neo Gotham, Terry McGuinnis aka Batman Beyond is here.
Portrayed by:
Steve R McQueen
Secret Origins: Terry was born in Gotham City circa 2083, to Warren and Mary McGinnis, a research scientist at Wayne-Powers and an astronomer at Astro-Tech respectively. By his own admission, Terry was once a "bad kid, being a former member of a street gang, Terry has his fair share of run-ins with the Gotham City Police while in his early teens, even serving a 90 day sentence for shoplifting at age 14 and a three-month stint the next year, both in juvenile hall.
Runnin' with the Bat: Years after the Batman had disappeared from the streets of Gotham, Terry found himself on the run from another gang, the Jokerz, a street gang modeling themselves after the deceased Clown Prince of Crime. Finding himself cornered on the grounds of Wayne Manor, to his surprise an old and decrepit Damian Wayne, the former Robin and son of Bruce Wayne comes to his aid and together they defeat and chase off the gang. The strain of the fight places substantial stress on Damian's already weak heart, and he nearly collapses. After helping Damian make his way back to the mansion, Terry gets him his medication; with the strain from the fight having exhausted him, Damian falls asleep immediately. On his way out Terry notices a bat stuck inside a grandfather clock, trying to free the creature, Terry stumbles upon the secret entrance to the Batcave. Entering the Batcave, Terry realizes that his savior was one of the many people to had taken the identity of the Batman, though unfortunately for him, Damian woke up, and soon after would kick him out.
Tomorrow Knight: After being kicked out by Damian, Terry realized that his dad was killed, the apartment is covered in graffiti, which seems to clearly be the result of the Jokerz getting revenge for their humiliation earlier that day. Terry moved in with his mother, heartbroken that his last conversation with his father was a fight, just prior to his run in with the Jokerz. While looking at a small framed photo of his father, Terry discovers a small data disc hidden in the frame, left by his father right before his death, taking it to Wayne to analize it on the Batcomputer.
Knowing Damian wouldn't give him any more help and realizing that no one would be able to have arrested the man who had his father killed, Derek Powers, Terry stole the newest Bio-Batsuit and took off to get justice from Powers, Damian realized, shutting the suit down mid-fight, however, Terry convinced him to power up the suit again after Damian realized of Terry's real motivations on stealing the suit, helping Terry to stop Powers alonside his shipping of a bio-weapon.
Convinced that there is still a need for a Batman, Damian hires Terry as his "personal assistant" and begins secretly training him for his new role as Batman. In addition, Damian assists Terry in the field primarily by keeping in continual contact with the him at the Batcave.

I think a lot of people go too techy or too sleek when they redesign Batman Beyond, but like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, this is juuust right. Awesome work with him. Highly impressed with all the detail you gave him.
