Plot [edit]

The pilot episode begins in 2019. Batman, despite being by his prime and in his late 50s, continues to fight crime in a new high-tech Batsuit. In the rescue of a kidnapped heiress, Batman suffers a mild center assault and, at risk of being beaten to death by one of the kidnappers, is forced to betray a lifelong principle by threatening to employ a gun, the same kind of weapon that murdered his parents and drove him to go Batman in the first place. Bruce is ashamed and fearing that he eventually volition give up to his murderous temptation if standing criminal offense-fighting, and reluctantly he decides to retire from being Batman and vows "Never again" as he shuts down the Batcave. By this time, his longtime allies (Alfred Pennyworth, Commissioner James W. Gordon, Lucius Fox, Leslie Thompkins, Renee Montoya and Harvey Bullock) have either died of natural causes or retired; his partners (Dick Grayson, Barbara Gordon, and Tim Drake) are still alive and left in bad terms with Bruce after their retirement from their alter-egos; all of his enemies (the Joker, Harley Quinn, the Penguin, the Riddler, Ii-Face, the Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, the Man-Bat, Killer Croc, Deadshot, Clayface, the Mad Hatter, Blight, Ra's al Ghul and his daughter Talia al Ghul, the Ventriloquist and Scarface, the Firefly, and Professor Hugo Strange) are either retired, reformed, incarcerated, in exile, missing, or dead, and the original Justice League has broken up, with Superman and Big Barda leading a squad of new generation of heroes nether the League's name.

The story moves alee twenty years later to 2039 in Neo-Gotham, a futuristic version of the old Gotham Urban center and a megalopolis featuring staggering high rises and flying vehicles bulldoze past upper form society. Bruce is now an elderly man in his 70s and a recluse living in biting isolation in Wayne Manor, with no other companion simply his guard dog Ace. Terry McGinnis is an athletic sixteen-year-erstwhile high schoolhouse student and reformed troublemaker with a deeply ingrained sense of personal justice. Living on difficult terms with his male parent Warren McGinnis, Terry disobeys his curfew i night to meet upward with his girlfriend Dana Tan, only to incur the wrath of a group of the gang called the Jokerz harassing them. A high-speed motorcycle hunt between Terry and the Jokerz leads them to the grounds of Wayne Manor, where they see the elderly Bruce Wayne. Bruce and Terry fend off the Jokerz side-by-side, but the exertion aggravates Bruce's heart status. Terry helps Bruce back to the manor and, while exploring the mansion, stumbles upon the entrance to the Batcave and thus discovers Bruce's secrets, simply to be chased out by an angered Bruce.

Terry returns dwelling to discover that his father has been murdered, patently by the vengeful Jokerz. Soon after, though, he discovers that his male parent had stumbled onto data about the production of illegal chemical weapons by Derek Powers through Wayne-Powers (Wayne Enterprises had merged with Powers' company long agone) and that the human really responsible for his father'south murder is Powers' personal assistant/bodyguard Mr. Fixx. Terry goes to Bruce for assistance merely he refuses (because of his age and rage), and instead tells Terry to take the evidence to Barbara Gordon (who has go the new Constabulary Commissioner). Later on the testify of the illegal weapon production is forcibly taken from Terry by Derek Powers, Terry subsequently steals the Batsuit, intending to bring Powers to justice. Bruce initially opposes all of Terry'due south efforts and vehemently demands that he return the arrange, but Terry convinces Bruce to permit him take on the Batman pall, partially by drawing on the fact they both lost a parent to criminals, and later defeats Mr. Fixx. During the battle, Powers is exposed to the chemic and forced to flee into hiding to receive treatment, which subsequently mutates him into a radiations-emitting entity, though he uses bogus skin to hide the accident. Realizing that law-breaking and corruption are running rampant in Gotham without Batman's presence, Bruce offers Terry the chance to assume the part of Batman, with Bruce himself mentoring Terry and in add-on to working as Bruce's chauffeur and banana so that Terry can support his family unit.

The new Batman before long develops his own rogues gallery, with both new villains (the radiation-emitting metahuman Blight (a.k.a. Derek Powers); seductive shapeshifter Inque; hypnotist the Spellbinder; sound weaponizer Shriek; deadly assassin Curaré; insane eco-terrorist Mad Stan; cybernetically-enhanced African big game hunter the Stalker; nerdy psychokinetic Willie Watt and a new version of the Royal Affluent Gang) as well every bit some of his mentor'due south old foes, such as a rejuvenated Mr. Freeze; Bane's forcefulness-enhancing drug Venom reborn as slap-on patches; the longevous Ra's al Ghul; and somewhat inevitably, the Joker himself.

Terry also makes allies in Neo-Gotham, including computer genius Maxine "Max" Gibson. Afterwards discovering Batman's secret identity, Maxine helps Terry with everything from computer hacking to babysitting. Law Commissioner Barbara Gordon also works with Terry. Though initially unhappy nigh some other person post-obit in Bruce'south dangerous footsteps, she admits that the urban center needs Batman, and that Terry could not be deterred from existence Batman any more than she could have been from being Batgirl. He likewise has a relationship with Melanie Walker, who was forced to do the bidding of her family unit'due south new Majestic Flush Gang under the codename 10. Terry and Melanie'due south relationship is similar to that of Bruce and Selina Kyle.

Episodes [edit]

Crossovers [edit]

The third flavour of Batman Across featured the ii-part episode "The Phone call" with (for the first time) a futuristic Justice League, a springboard for the Justice League blithe series. The setting and characters of Batman Across were as well briefly revived in Static Shock during the episode "Future Shock" in which Static is accidentally transported forty years into the time to come.

Justice League Unlimited revisited the Batman Across globe twice in 2005. The first was in "The Once and Future Affair" (Part 2), which featured Batman, Wonder Adult female and Green Lantern transported 50 years into the future to stop a time-travelling villain with the aid of the future Justice League (Batman II, Static and Warhawk).

The 2d time was meant to be the de facto series finale for Batman Beyond: the episode "Epilogue" reveals that Bruce Wayne is really Terry McGinnis' biological father. The story, set up fifteen years afterwards Batman Beyond, centers on Terry (now in his early 30'due south) tracking down an elderly Amanda Waller. She explains through flashbacks that, even though she grew to trust and respect Batman, she was enlightened of him aging, thus accepting the idea of either Bruce retiring or beingness killed at some point. Finding the idea of a world without Batman unacceptable, Waller used her Project Cadmus connections to gather the technology for "Project Batman Beyond", whose goal was to physically create a new Batman, starting with a secretly collected sample of Bruce Wayne'southward DNA. Some years after Bruce retired, Waller found a young Neo-Gotham couple—the McGinnises—with psychological profiles nearly identical to those of Bruce's parents, a nanotech solution was injected into Warren McGinnis to rewrite his reproductive material with that of Bruce. The eventual result was his wife Mary McGinnis giving birth to Terry, a kid sharing the genetic traits of his female parent and Bruce Wayne. When Terry was eight years old, Waller employed an elderly Andrea Beaumont in her Phantasm alias as an assassinator to impale Terry's family, hoping the trauma would put him on the path to condign Batman. However, Beaumont could non commit the human activity, arguing that she would be doing something confronting what Bruce stood for. Waller eventually conceded that Beaumont had been correct and abolished the project altogether. Eight years after, Warren would be murdered, and Terry would meet Bruce by happenstance—resulting in Terry becoming Batman's successor. Waller concludes past reminding Terry that he is Bruce'southward son, not his clone, and that, despite the circumstances of his existence, he withal has free will to live out his ain life; Terry comes to terms with his revelations, and continues in existence Batman. With a new sense of purpose, Terry plans to propose to Dana, while continuing his life of crimefighting.
