Physical Characteristics: Terry is Caucasian, with a slim-yet-atheltic build, black hair, and blue eyes. He looks very much like a younger Bruce Wayne, because he's Bruce's genetic clone in the DCAU.
Personality: Terry is, first and foremost, rather talkative when it comes to criminals he fights. He loves to taunt and mock them, which is a sharp contrast to Bruce. While generally friendly when not on-duty, he gets rather aloof and gruff while wearing the Batsuit.

Fears: The deaths of those he cares about.
Bio: Terry was born in Gotham City on June 27, 2023, to Warren and Mary McGinnis. 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, who model themselves after the deceased Clown Prince of Crime. Terry flees onto the grounds of Wayne Manor, where an aged Bruce Wayne 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 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.
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.
Powers/Abilities
Powers: Terry possesses no superhuman powers on his own, but his Batsuit possesses a host of highly-advanced gadgets and mechanisms to aid in combat.
Weakness(s): Terry's only human, so he possesses all the weaknesses of one.
Abilities: See "Skills"
Skills: Terry is a skilled fighter, though nowhere near the level of the original Batman; he relies very much on his Batsuit to help him. He's also a moderately good detective; which makes sense considering who his genetic father is.
