Terry McGinnis / Batman

The Character

Terry was a normal 17 year old high school senior. He lived with his father (his parents are divorced), was on the wrestling team at school, and had a girlfriend, Dana.

However, his life soon began to spin out of control. After trying to escape some of the members of the Jokerz, a gang, he met a strange old man, Bruce Wayne. He discovered that Wayne was once the famous Batman, long since retired. Not long afterwards, his father was killed for having discovered the secret plans of his boss, the ruthless Derek Powers.

Terry desperately wanted to avenge his father's death. Someone needed to stop Powers' dangerous new biological weapon.

Gotham city needed a new hero. Hence, a new Batman was born.

Parallels and Thoughts

Unlike the Batman before him, Terry has not had a lifetime of training that leads to him taking up the cowl of the Dark Knight. He must rely on Wayne's advice and knowledge to help him in his activities. This leads him to sometimes seem more like Robin, or Night wing, more of a second-stringer. But Bruce stays behind the computer, so in reality, Terry is physically alone in his fight. Perhaps as he becomes more experienced in crime fighting, he will seem more like the Batman of old, more his own hero then a shadow of Bruce Wayne.
