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

Biography

An image of a 16-year old Terry McGinnis in civilian clothes.
Terry was born in Gotham City on August 18, 2023, by Bruce Wayne and Mary McGinnis, an affair, she had behind the back of 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." As a former 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 The Joker's son, who model himself after his deceased father, the Clown Prince of Crime. The new villian, known as "Terminal", is the son of Batman's nemisis; The Scarecrow. 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 (not knowing and doesn't discover for quite some time, that Bruce is really his biological father) 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 scares him away, Terry returns home to find his stepfather murdered, and later discovers that Derek Powers, with help from his son Paxton Powers — 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 his son, Terry as his "personal assistant" (because Bruce suspects that Terry might be his illegitimate son) 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. Beyond the vigilantee duties as Batman, Terry is also Bruce's chauffeur.
After Powers' criminal identity is revealed to the public and he finally brings retribution to his father'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. In the Batman Beyond episode "The Winning Edge"; Bane was forced to give the Venom recipe to his Son (Jackson Chappell), who was also his nurse/caretaker, although that fact was not revealed to either Terry of Bruce Wayne at the time!

Relationships


Bruce Wayne

Despite his role as the new Batman, Terry leads a very different, far less privileged life than Bruce. In addition to coping with his stepfather's death, Terry struggles to keep his secret identity from his mother and younger brother, much like Tim Drake (who settled down, married and has three sons) did during his tenure as Robin in the comics. Because of his responsibilities as Batman, he is not afforded the same licenses the Robins enjoyed and is expected to be on the call whenever he is needed. As a result, Terry is just barely successful at balancing out his dual life, on several occasions prompting both men to reconsider Terry's reliability.
Terry and Bruce develop a respect for each other, with Terry regarding Bruce as a surrogate father. This is demonstrated in the episode "Sneak Peek" where Terry pays reporter Ian Peek a visit to plead on Bruce's behalf:

Terry: "I don't care what you do to me, but he doesn't deserve this. He's done too much for this city to wind up in the middle of a media circus."
Peek: "He means a lot to you, doesn't he?"
Terry: "Yes... he does."
In turn, Bruce treats Terry the same way he treated Dick Grayson (who married his lover Starfire; and has a son, named Nightstar) and Tim Drake (who later returns to being a crimefighter, after being brainwashed by The Joker). In time, Terry grows into the cowl, and Bruce grows to accept him as his heir to the Batman legacy. The Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue" reveals that Terry is Bruce Wayne's biological son due to Amanda Waller's "Batman Beyond" project. This twist may be foreshadowed by the Batman Beyond season one episode "Disappearing Inque" when Inque asks Terry, "What is he, your father?" and the season three episode, "Inqueling", when Max notes that Wayne may be more of a "father figure" than Terry realizes. it is also revealed that his brother; Max, may also be in fact, Bruce Wayne's son too (Max would later become the new Robin).



When Static, the biological son of Green Lantern, John Stewart is sent 40 years into the future from the time of the Static Shock series, he is forced to work with Terry to rescue future Static from the KOBRA organization. While Terry doubts his abilities at first, he eventually develops respect for Static. Terry also sees the resemblance in both the teenage and adult version.
Terry seems to have rejoined, as later episodes of Justice League Unlimited show him as a regular member (and possibly leader). In the alternate timeline of Justice League Unlimited ("The Once and Future Thing, Part 2: Time Warped,"), Terry fights alongside Static (of that era) and Warhawk, another son of Green Lantern. He was almost killed in the episode, his life was spared thanks to time travel.


Abilities and equipment

In addition to the training he receives from Bruce Wayne, Terry appears at least to be an able street-fighter. In the first part of the pilot episode, "Rebirth," he participates in his high school's wrestling team, and he fends off several Jokerz alone. Under Bruce's tutelage, Terry has honed his body to at least Olympic levels. As expected of Batman, he engages in regular, rigorous training to minimize his reliance on the Batsuit.
Terry has engaged in combat outside of the Batsuit at various instances. His training has granted him exceptional reflexes, enabling him to evade gunfire and make impressive leaping attempts whether in or out of the Batsuit. In one instance, without the suit's aid, Terry survives a fall from several stories high by bouncing off a pillar that is about to crush him, and lands on his feet. Terry even defeats his suit in single combat when it is controlled by an insane computer consciousness, armed only with Wayne's vintage utility belt's equipment. Fifteen years after the last episode of Batman Beyond, as Terry reaches his 30s, he is able to get through Amanda Waller's security systems and overpower her guards without the aid of his suit's capabilities, suggesting that his skills are rivaling his mentor's when he was in his prime.
In "Epilogue", Amanda Waller comments that Terry has inherited all of father's qualities. He possesses the high intellect of Bruce Wayne, though Waller comments that this is not as high as Bruce's. He has been trained by Bruce as a detective, though his ambition is to be a physician. Under Bruce, he learns to establish cures, remedies, and antidotes. As a student, his main interests are in health or medical sciences and history, however his job as Batman and less then stellar study habits have caused problems with his grades, as seen in "The Egg Baby" where he needed to get a good grade on the project to elevate his low grade or fail.
As Batman, Terry emulates Bruce's deep, harsh tone. He does this of his own accord, to separate the entities of Terry and Batman (Terry can be heard using his "Batman voice" outside of the Batsuit in the episode "Shriek").

Terry's Batsuit

The Batsuit currently worn by Terry is actually 20 years old when he starts to use it. However, its technology is so advanced that the Batsuit is still considered state-of-the-art. One of the most notable features of the suit is that it now covers the entire face, a departure from previous costumes (though Batman's mouth is still left exposed, a possible design flaw, especially when faced with opponents like Inque). The cape has been eliminated, being replaced by glider wings under the arms. Thrusters built into the boots allow Batman to fly in the absence of wind. However, for long range flight, he has an aerial version of the Batmobile to use. The flight capabilities are not unique - Flying cars are commonplace in the series.
The Batsuit conforms to the size and physique of its wearer, as seen by how it was able to fit both Terry and Bruce, who had different physical statures at the time. It is very durable, being able to withstand massive concussive forces (it was able to take blows from Superman), fire, lasers, electric shocks, underwater pressure, wind force, and even radiation in small doses.
The Batsuit grants him the following abilities:
  • Enhanced strength by a factor of ten.
  • Minimal reduction (or increase) in flexibility.
  • Enhanced visual assistance that allows him to see in the dark (visual from the Batsuit can be fed back to the main computer in the Batcave; it can also receive visual from the main computer, allowing for superior tactical planning). The visor can also serve as digital binoculars and an infrared filter.
  • Personal communicator allows Terry to keep in constant contact with Bruce at the Batcave.
  • Enhanced ballistic protection.
  • Significantly resistant to heat, electricity, water, and vibrations, but only slightly resistant to radiation.
  • Built-in rebreather for underwater combat/exploration.
  • Dispensable Batarangs with a range of auxiliary functions, such as producing electric shocks. However, there is a limit to the amount of Batarangs the Batsuit can dispense; Batman has run out on at least one occasion. Also, the Batsuit has discs that can be fired from the tops of the hands.
  • Electrical discharges throughout the suit that can be activated by pushing the button on the belt.
  • Grappling guns built into the forearms.
  • Flashbang grenades.
  • Smoke pellets.
  • Flexicuffs.
  • Launchable tracers.
  • A retractable PIN or password decipherer in the form of a key on the right index finger.
  • Retractable wings under the arms to glide on.
  • Rocket boots enabling limited flight.
  • Electromagnetic pads in the soles of the boots for adhesion to certain surfaces.
  • Sensitive touch microphone on index and middle fingers that permits eavesdropping through solid surfaces.
  • Drug identifier, utilized by dipping fingers into the substance.
  • Built-in cloaking device that enables almost complete camouflage (this function possibly consumes a good deal of the Batsuit's power, as Batman minimizes its usage). It allows camouflage extending into the visible light and infrared frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. A countermeasure used by Commissioner Barbara Gordon to this in one incident where she was hunting Batman down was through tracking him using an ultraviolet light to illuminate him. The origin of the cloaking device could be based on the failed light refractive polymer developed in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "See No Evil." The reason the invisibility plastic failed in the B:TAS episode was that sending electrical current through the material caused it to become toxic, affecting the mind as well as the body. Regardless, the original Batman may have saved samples of the plastic and/or the research notes and resolved the toxicity issues, incorporating them into the Beyond Batsuit.
  • Retractable claws which can be used to slice, clip, or facilitate climbing.
  • Can uplink with the Batmobile for remote piloting.
  • A remote kill function that can externally deactivate the suit from the Batcave.
  • The belt buckle also serves as a buzz saw to get out of a room quickly or to cut through denser material.
  • Electroshock circuitry, effective with direct contact, to protect Terry from attacks from Inque or to disable an opponent.
  • A boom tube, used in the episode of Justice League Unlimited, "The Once and Future Thing Part 2: Time Warped"

Weaknesses

The Batsuit augments Terry's physical prowess considerably, and thus he is sometimes prone to complacency in the midst of danger. Terry favors jibing his opponents, even when defusing volatile situations, though this trait may be productive depending on the opponent he is facing. When he faces the Joker, he is able to get under the villain's skin and gain the upper hand by mocking his opponent and laughing out loud – something Bruce Wayne never did. His initial brashness has also landed him in trouble, though this is a limitation he has grown to overcome. One weakness that he has as revealed in the episode "Curse of the Kobra" is that he leaves his left side open when he is fighting.

The Exosuit

Seen only twice in the series, the Exosuit is donned by Bruce Wayne in an encounter with Inque, who had kidnapped Terry and was holding him hostage. This is despite the fact that Bruce is having heart problems at the time. It is a suit of heavy armor with retractable plates that enhances the survivability of the wearer, boosting their physical strength and resilience to superhuman levels, at a level greater than that of the Batsuit. Its look is also most likely based on the suits Azrael used during his stint as Batman.
It is featured in the episode "Disappearing Inque".

Other appearances

In addition to having his own ongoing comic book, the Tomorrow Knight made an appearance in Superman Adventures #64, chasing a futuristic version of Brainiac.
Terry and Bizarro.
The Batman Beyond concept became DC Comics canon in the pages of Superman/Batman issues 22 and 23, wherein Bizarro is transported to an alternate reality somewhere in Hypertime which resembled the Batman Beyond-era Gotham City, with Batman Beyond in action with the 1999 animated black-and-red costume and the 1992 Batplane from the original animated series. This version of the character is in radio contact with Bruce Wayne, but was referred to as "Tim". The Batman Beyond cameo was enough to garner a DC Direct action figure, the character's first in years, listed as "Tim Drake"; However, the writers admitted to the mistake of misnaming the character,[citation needed] and although the name was rumored to be changed to "Terry" in the trade paperback, it still reads "Tim" (see first page of "Smoke and Mirrors" chapter in the trade paperback).
McGinnis has made guest appearance on the Batman Beyond spin-off series, The Zeta Project. He also appeared on Static Shock, in the episode "Future Shock," which involved time travel and a future Static.
McGinnis later appears in two episodes of Justice League Unlimited, "The Once and Future Thing, Part 2: Time Warped," alongside Static and Warhawk. He is apparently thought to have been killed in the episode (but he wasn't- like many heroes; such as, Barry Allen and Aquaman's son- Authur Jr., they were rescued by The Spectre, and brought to another dimension), though his death is undone later, as the episode's plot involved time travel. After the Time Warp is fixed and Terry's death is prevented, Terry is seen 15 years older in the JLA episode "Epilogue", which is centered on him and takes place in his timeline, serving as the series finale to Batman Beyond; after which, he decided to marry his long-time girlfriend, Dana. In year 3045, they had a son, who will later become the vigilante hero "Batwing".
Also, in the DC comic book Countdown to Final Crisis, former Robin Jason Todd, former Wonder Girl Donna Troy, Green Lantern Kyle Rayner, the son of Hal Jordan, and Bob the Monitor travel to "Earth-12," which resembles the DCAU's future. They witness from the rooftops someone in a Batman Beyond costume defeating members of the Jokerz gang (although they don't know who is under the mask of the future Batman), to which Jason Todd says: "Huh. The more things change, the more they stay the same." The group speculate that either Tim Drake or Dick Grayson, who has a son, who becomes a hero in the year 2025, known as "Nightstar", is under the mask. However, The Monitor confirms it is indeed McGinnis.
The character has also recently received a figure in the DC Universe action figure line, which lists him as McGinnis rather than Tim Drake.[citation needed]
A figure of Terry will appear in the "Arkham Asylum" SET of DC Heroclix. On its card, it's mentioned that his name is UNKNOWN an his first appearance was in the pages of Superman/Batman issue 22.[citation needed]
UP TO DATE DC FACT FINDER:
February 20, 2012
In 1993, during DC Comics's Death of Superman story, a new Superboy was introduced.[31] Unlike previous characters bearing the name, this Superboy is the son of Superman, created to replace the seemingly-dead Superman, rather than simply being an adolescent Clark Kent. His initial abilities were based on a form of telekinesis (known as tactile telekinesis) by which he could fly and simulate Superman's strength and invulnerability. Nicknamed "the Kid", Superboy was spun off to his own series, which ran for 100 issues (1994–2002). In issue #59 (1999) of the series, Superman gives him the Kryptonian name Kon-El. In the final issue of the series, he goes to live with Martha and Jonathan Kent in and adopts a secret identity as their nephew (and Clark's cousin) Conner Kent.
After Superman returns from the dead, Kon-El learns that he was biologically-engineered from Superman's sperm and eggs from Wonder Woman. Much later, Superboy is told that he had been created from the DNA of both Superman and Wonder Woman. Superboy was lied to by, Superman's archnemesis Lex Luthor, to prevent him from learning fast enough, that Superman was his father, not Westfield.[33] Moreover, as Superboy II was developing, he was brainwashed so that Luthor could have a sleeper agent among the superhero community. This eventually leads to near disaster, but Superboy eventually frees himself from Luthor's control, and learns the truth about his origin.[34] Luthor continues to claim that he views Kon-El as his son, not Superman.
This version of Superboy becomes involved with several teen superhero groups, notably the Ravers, Young Justice, the Teen Titans, and the Legion of Super-Heroes, and was featured in comic series devoted to these groups. He is the best friend of Robin, the Boy Wonder, and is romantically involved with Wonder Girl, who becomes pregnant with his son. Kon-El later saves Robin's life in the Infinite Crisis series in a battle with Superboy-Prime.[35] Superboy II, fakes his death, and disappears into The Ultraverse. Meanwhile, statues are erected in his honor in Metropolis and Titans Tower. Robin has also secretly researched and accomplished cloning techniques in order to clone a new Superboy, which will stand in for him in the DC Universe, until the real Superboy II returns.
In a recently published story, the alternate future Titans known as the Titans Tomorrow, including an older Conner who was cloned from the original, come back in time to the present day.[36]

The original pitch for a "Superboy" character was made by Jerry Siegel (without Joe Shuster) in November 1938. The idea was turned down by Detective Comics, Inc., and the publisher again rejected a second, more detailed pitch by Siegel two years later.[2] After the appeal of kid superheroes had been demonstrated by the success of Robin, the Boy Wonder and similar characters, Detective Comics reversed itself in late 1944 and started publishing a Superboy feature, in an effort to expand the Superman franchise by presenting a version of the character to whom younger readers could easily relate.[3] Superboy first appeared in More Fun Comics #101 (1944, with a 1945 cover date). Though Joe Shuster supplied the art, the Superboy feature was published without the input or approval of Jerry Siegel, who was serving in World War II. This fact increased an already-growing rift between the publisher and Siegel and Shuster.[2]
In early 1946, Superboy moved to Adventure Comics, where he debuted in issue #103 as the lead feature for the anthology comic, and he remained the lead for over 200 issues. Superboy received his own series, Superboy, in 1949, where again he was the lead feature for nearly 200 issues. Stories in both comics treat Superboy as essentially a junior version of Superman. To that end, he wears the Superman costume and his alter ego Clark Kent wears glasses as a disguise for his civilian identity. Superboy is the superhero of Clark's hometown, , where he grows up under the guidance of Ma and Pa Kent; has two close friends, Lana Lang and Pete Ross, in both identities, and a pet superdog, ; befriends and then battles a teenage Lex Luthor;[4] and is transported to the future, by The Spectre (an Timetraveling entity), and joins the 30th-century Legion of Super-Heroes and the Junior Justice League (where he meets the future sons of; Batman, Robin "Nightwing", Aquaman, Hal Jordan & John Stewart/The Green Lantern, The Flash, Hawkman, The Atom, Roy Harper "Speedy", and Green Arrow)![5]
The popular Legion feature, a spin-off from Superboy, eventually bumped the Superboy feature from both Adventure Comics (in the 1960s) and, after the Legion left Adventure, from Superboy itself (issues #197-198, 1973). In both cases, Superboy continued to appear in the comic series as a Legion member. When Superboy left the Legion in 1980, he got a second series called The New Adventures of Superboy, which ran for 54 issues until 1984. A four-issue miniseries called Superman: The Secret Years (1985) tells the story of how Superboy becomes Superman during his junior year of college.
Shortly after the miniseries was published, Superboy's career was discarded from Superman's continuity after the 1985-1986 limited series Crisis on Infinite Earths and writer John Byrne's 1986 revamp of Superman's origin, .[6] Twenty years later, following the Infinite Crisis limited series, all elements of Superboy's history were restored, and Superman and Lois Lane, have a son (who'll eventually become a new Superman) to the story of Superman's youth (see the Infinite Crisis subsection and the new "Young Justice" Cartoons on Cartoon Network! In the new DC cartoon, Batman makes constant reference to Superboy- as being Superman's Son....) (2011-Present).

LOOK OUT FOR NEW UPCOMING ANIMATION SERIES: "Batman & Robin Beyond"; The Sons of Batman & Robin (Bruce Wayne/Talia Al Ghul & Tim Drake/Batgirl III): Damian Wayne & Tyler Drake take on the mantle of their fathers in "Batman & Robin Beyond", in a new hit upcoming anime cartoon series!!!
www.dccomics.com/anime






Damian Wayne is the third son of Batman and Talia al Ghul, though Batman was unaware of his son's existence until he was on the cusp of his teenage years. The character was created by Grant Morrison, and Victor Beckles in issue #655 of Batman, for the story arc Batman & Son. There is ongoing fan dispute over whether or not he is the same child as Batman fathered in the 1987 story Batman: Son of the Demon, inspired by the character, "Nighthawk", created by Dr. Franklyn Victor Beckles, Jr.
History
His existence is unknown to Batman. Genetically perfected and grown in Talia's womb, Damian was intended to be a formidable warrior. He is raised by Talia and the League of Assassins. He becomes a talented martial artist by the time he is a pre-teen, at which time Talia reveals Damian's existence to his father and leaves him in Batman's custody in an effort to disrupt his work. Precocious, spoiled, and violent, Damian battles Robin (Tim Drake), whom he wants to replace as his father's sidekick, and sucker punches him off the T. rex of the batcave. Grounded by Batman, he escapes, dons a variant Robin costume made of Jason Todd's old tunic and assorted League of Assassin gear, and gets into a fight with and decapitates the villainous Spook. Although misguided and malicious, Damian seems to genuinely want to aid his father's war on crime.
Eventually, Batman confronts Talia, but both Talia and Damian are soon caught in an explosion. They survive the explosion, but a badly injured Damian requires transplants of harvested organs, which his mother orders her physicians to carry out. He made a full recovery.
Head of the Demon Talia takes Damian to the Australian Outback where he is tutored in the secret history of his grandfather, Ra's al Ghul. Talia is unaware that a former servant of Ra's, named White Ghost, plans to use Damian as a shell for the soul of Ra's to return to Earth. This process would, of course, kill Damian. Talia is able to save her son from his fate at the last minute.
However, Ra's is still able to return, as a rotting, shambling undead corpse, still needing Damian to stabilize his form. Damian flees to alert Batman, but he's still pursued by his evil grandfather. Upon entering Wayne Manor, Damian attempts to relay to Robin the fact that Ra's has returned. However, Robin, suspicious of Damian's intentions, does not believe his story and begins a fist fight. Damian flees and encounters Alfred. Before he can effectively relay his news he is attacked by Robin, who perceives Damian's attempt to help a tripping Alfred as an attack, and renews their battle. As they fight, members of the League of Assassins approach the manor with the intention of killing all others within and bringing Damian back to Ra's alive. Damian and Robin (Tim) fight side-by-side against Ra's and his minions. However, their collaboration is hindered by their very different philosophies of battle, not to mention their strong dislike - even hatred - of each other. Damian is willing to betray Tim at any moment for his own safety. Ra's captures the two and tells Batman that he will use one of them for his own body. Batman offers his own body instead. Ra's refuses the offer, feeling that he needs someone of a younger age.
Batman offers a third alternative: "Fountain of Essence," which contains the qualities of a Lazarus Pit. Batman and Ra's go in search of the fountain, leaving Tim, Damian, Nightwing, Alfred, and Talia to battle the Sensei. Damian leaves his mother and Tim to an unknown fate, while he goes off to be with his father. Unfortunately, he ends up captured by Ra's and nearly loses his life. Batman and the others manage to save him, and Talia takes her son and escapes.
Batman R.I.P. & Battle for the Cowl
Soon after these events, Talia and Damien take up residence in one of the League of Assassin's many bases, where Talia continues to monitor Batman's activities, such as his relationship with a woman names Vesper Fairchild. Damien meanwhiles continue to train under the eye of the archer-villain Merlin. Both Damien and Talia become concern when they catch wind that a group known as the Black Glove is targeting Batman.
The pair of them fly back to Gotham, where they save Commissioner Gordon from a booby-trapped Wayne Manor and ask to pool their resources. Damien meanwhile steals a Batmobile with Alfred in order to rush to Batman's side. Damien, uncaring of basically everyone, runs an ambulence off the road, unaware that he had taken out the Joker as a result. Alfred admonishes the boy, who threatens to kill him in response.Once they arrive at Arkham, they learn that Batman is again missing in action. Although Batman survived the events of R.I.P. he would later be killed by Darksied during the events of the Final Crisis.
Damien apparently decides to stay in Gotham following his father's death, and taking residence with Alfred and his adopted brothers Nightwing and Robin. While joy riding in the Batmobile one night, he is attacked by a group of villains. Oddly enough Damien's previously cruel and aggressive behavior is replaced with a more child-like and fearful persona. He is saved however by Nightwing, but unfortunately the pair of them end up being attacked by a new gun totting Batman revealed to be Jason Todd. While in persuit of Jason, Damien is shot point-blank in the chest, and rushed to the Batcave by Nightwing and the Birds of Prey.
Powers and Abilities
Skilled Martial Artist: exceptional martial artist, trained by the League of Assassins.

Strength level Damian possesses all the strength of a normal human male who engages in intense regular exercise

Weaknesses Damian possesses all the weakness of a normal human male though has been trained to resist them for longer than most pre-adult human males
Paraphernalia Equipment: Many in his training as an active assassin Transportation: None known. Weapons: Many in his training as an active assassin.
Notes
Damian is suggested to be the Modern day counterpart of Ibn al Xu'ffasch who is actually the biological son of Bruce Wayne and Talia Head, the daughter of Ra's al Ghul of an alternate Earthes. According to statements in the recent encapsulated "Origin of Ra's ah Ghul" (Countdown 4 (week 48)) Damian is actually Bruce Wayne's biological son. However, no other source confirms this in the actual storyline and many of these compact origins in Countdown are told from the standing as a "general composite overview" of the characters they show, whereby they mix many elements of several differenct incarnations of the character. Thus this reference may not apply as actual reference of this specific incarnation of character.

Damian Wayne is a fictional character in the DC Comics Universe. He is the official third son of The Legendary Batman. Concieved by Talia al Ghul and Bruce Wayne. The character was created by Grant Morrison, and Vic "The Iceman" Beckles for his first son, Christian Beckles, beginning with issue #655, "Batman & Son" (2006).
The concept of Batman and Talia having a son first appears in Mike W. Barr's graphic novel Batman: Son of the Demon (1987). In this incarnation, the character is specifically known as "Ibn al Xu'ffasch" and never takes the name of Wayne in the Batman Demon books but is confirmed as the genetic son of Wayne. This definite proof of being Wayne's actual blood son has yet to be confirmed in-story for the current mainstream incarnation of the character.
Fictional character biography
Damian's origin is unknown to Batman. Damian was biologically concieved by Talia Al Ghul & her lover, Bruce Wayne/Batman. Pregnant with Batman's son in her womb, Damian was intended to later become a formidable warrior and his father's replacement as the Next Batman! He is raised by Talia and the League of Assassins. He becomes a talented martial artist by the time he is a pre-teen, at which time Talia reveals Damian's existence to Bruce Wayne and leaves him in Batman's custody in an effort to disrupt Batman's work. Precocious, spoiled, and violent, Damian battles Robin (Tim Drake), whom he wants to replace as Wayne's sidekick, and sucker punches Drake off the stuffed Tyrannosaurus in the Batcave when Tim stops fighting to help him. Grounded by Batman, Damian escapes, dons a variant Robin costume made of Jason Todd's old tunic and assorted League of Assassin gear, and gets into a fight with and decapitates the villainous Spook. Although misguided and malicious, Damian seems to genuinely want to aid Wayne's war on crime as he sees himself as Wayne's son and wants Wayne's approval.
Eventually, Batman confronts Talia to confirm Damian's true identity, but both Talia and Damian are soon caught in an explosion. They survive the explosion, but a badly injured Damian requires transplants of harvested organs, which his mother orders her physicians to carry out. Damian makes a full recovery.[1]
In Batman Annual: Head of the Demon, Talia takes Damian to the Australian Outback, where he is tutored in the secret history of his grandfather, Ra's al Ghul. Talia is unaware that a former servant of Ra's, named White Ghost, plans to use Damian as a shell for the soul of Ra's to return to Earth. This process would, of course, kill Damian. Talia is able to save her son from his fate at the last minute.
Ra's is still able to return, but as a rotting, shambling undead corpse, still needing Damian to stabilize his form. Damian flees to alert Batman, but is pursued by his evil grandfather. Upon entering Wayne Manor, Damian attempts to relay to Robin the fact that Ra's has returned. Robin, suspicious of Damian's intentions, does not believe his story and begins a fist fight. Damian flees and encounters Alfred. Before he can effectively relay his news, he is attacked by Robin, who perceives Damian's attempt to help a tripping Alfred as an attack, and renews their battle. As they fight, members of the League of Assassins approach the manor with the intention of killing all others within and bringing Damian back to Ra's, alive. Damian and Robin (Tim) fight side-by-side against Ra's and his minions. Their collaboration is hindered by their very different philosophies of battle. Damian is willing to betray Tim at any moment for his own safety. Ra's captures the two and tells Batman that he will use one of them for his own body. Batman offers his own body instead.
Ra's refuses the offer, feeling that he needs someone of a younger age. The choices are Robin or Damian. Batman offers a third alternative: "Fountain of Essence," which contains the qualities of a Lazarus Pit. Batman and Ra's go in search of the fountain, leaving Tim, Damian, Nightwing, Alfred, and Talia to battle the Sensei. Damian leaves his mother and Tim to an unknown fate, while he goes off to be with his father. He ends up captured by Ra's and nearly loses his life. Batman and the others manage to save him, and Talia takes her son and escapes.
A subsequent conversation between Robin and Alfred implies that Batman carried out a DNA test on Damian and when the time is right, he will tell Tim the results, although Batman #666 leaves the question of his paternity unknown. Damian has also had all of his internal organs replaced on at least one occasion after the resurrection of Ra's al Ghul.
Prior to the start of Grant Morrison's "Batman R.I.P." story arc in Batman #675, Damian has sensed that someone is out to get Batman. In response to this, Talia begins to formulate a plan. That plan seems to involve getting the help of Commissioner James Gordon, who Talia and Damian rescue from a booby-trapped Wayne Manor, while in search of Batman, who has gone insane and missing.
Damian and Alfred race to aid Batman against the Black Glove in a commandeered Batmobile and Damian who is driving, knocks an ambulance off a bridge without any sign of remorse or even concern. When Alfred reprimands him, Damian retorts with a backhanded threat. Thankfully, the only occupant of the ambulance was the Joker.
In "Nightwing" #153 (2009), Damian is shown being trained by Dick Grayson.
Upon the start of Batman: Battle for the Cowl, it appears that Damian is now residing in Gotham, and living under the command of Nightwing (to an extent). Where before Damian portrayed an arrogant and vicious personality, it appears the loss of his father has regressed him to a more child-like mindset, as demonstrated when he takes the Batmobile joy-riding with an older girl. This is discovered by Oracle, who ejects the girl and takes control of the Batmobile, intent on taking Damian home. Unfortunately, the car is sidetracked by Killer Croc and Poison Ivy, who try to hurt Damian. Damian is saved by Nightwing who ends up being cornered by Black Mask's men, until a murderous Batman appears stating that he is Batman (this is later revealed to be Jason Todd).

THE LEGACY OF BATMAN & ROBIN







TRUE HEROES THE SONS OF BATMAN & ROBIN (2018) THE LEGACY OF BRUCE WAYNE & TIM DRAKE CONTINUES... (BATMAN & ROBIN BEYOND: ANIME)

Batman/Bruce Wayne and Talia Al Ghul spawned a son! That's exactly the premise that spawned 52 episodes and three seasons of Batman Beyond starting in 1999. Rather than just throwing out Batman's history, the creators also revealed that Robin II/Tim Drake & The Spoiler/Batgirl III concieved a son; by the year 2040, the sons of Batman & Robin decide to carry on their Legacy! The show creators decided to add to this existing Batman history and continue the established DC Animated Universe continuity begun with the Batman and Superman Animated Series, in a new cartoon series titled "Batman and Robin Beyond", coming in the year 2014. Ironically, this kid focused series is easily the darkest of the bunch.
Futuristic version of Batman's Son: Terry McGinnis

The 1999 "Batman Beyond" series opens with Bruce Wayne wearing a futuristic batsuit and battling not only thugs but old age. During a fight, Batman's heart starts to give out and in an act of desperation he crosses a line breaking one of his rules and grabs a gun to finish the fight. After this he vows, "Never again," and retires from crime fighting.
Eventually a teen named Terry McGinnis (who becomes the 1st Batman Beyond, and is revealed to be one of Bruce Wayne's sons, unknown to him for many years) meets up with Wayne, discovers the batsuit and takes it to avenge the murder of his stepfather at the hands of Derek Powers who coincidentally was also a foil for Wayne having taken over Wayne Enterprises for his own wicked purposes. In the end, Powers becomes the supervillain Blight, a nemesis for the new Batman who operated with the mentoring of an aged Bruce Wayne.

As the series progressed, it was fun to see the ultimate fates of many classic Bat-foes such as Bane, Mr. Freeze, and R'as Al Ghul. Additionally, Barbara Gordon had become the new commissioner and even though she has grown to disapprove of some of Batman's methods, she is a frequent collaborator with Terry. Many years later Amanda Waller reveals to McGinnis that he's really Batman's son! Afterwhich, the McGinnis Brothers: Terry & Matt McGinnis (the sons conceived by a brief sexual affair with Bruce Wayne & Mary McGinnis) who both decide to carry on their father's legacy as the new Batman & Robin, they work together as the new Dynamic Duo, in some brief adventures until Matt McGinnis decides to go solo, and be his own hero in; "Robin Beyond",, soon after Terry and Matt go their separate ways, Damian Wayne (Batman's other son) officially takes on the mantle as the new "Batman", and takes on a young partner (Tim Drake's son), to be the new "Robin"; and this begins the saga for the 2014 cartoon series "BATMAN & ROBIN BEYOND"...

A 1999 series highlight, of the episode of "The Call", featured the future Justice League under the leadership of Superman battling Starro, the son of Green Lantern & Hawkgirl (who is the new HAWKMAN), and Aquaman's grand-daughter (the daughter of his 1st Son Arthur Jr.). Not only was this a great two-parter, but it served as a testing ground for the Justice League series.




Full disclosure, the 1999 series had some secrets revealed mostly in season 4. Take for example the last episode, "Seed", described Dana (Terry's girlfriend), who discovered that she's pregnant with Terry's baby boy. Watch out for episodes with the new cast & crew of BATMAN & ROBIN BEYOND...

    Arthur Joseph Curry Jr. (a.k.a "Arthur Jr.")

    The new Aquaman has many physical abilities in common with his father, the original Aquaman, including underwater breathing, submarine speed, and superhuman strength. Like the Golden Age Aquaman, Arthur Jr. Can survive outside of water for a longtime. He also gained telepathic powers. He now speaks and understands the languages of the sentient sea peoples unaided, and has a limited ability to communicate with nonsentient sea life. He cannot speak directly to them as his predecessor could, but can send and receive emotional impressions and desires, such as communicating a need for help. He is working to expand the latter ability, and in one instance has been able to "see" through the eyes of nearby fish. In the motion picture; "Aquaman" (2014), Charlie Hunnam, who beat out Brad Pitt for the legendary role, as Arthur Curry a new "Savior" to the rediscovered lost city of Atlantis in Aquaman... This Aquaman, who will be the Golden Age version of the iconic hero, but will have all the flare and saga of "Aquman's Son" Arthur Curry, Jr., (or Arthur Joseph Curry): based on the 2007 comic book series "Aquaman: The Sword of Atlantis", and the "Young Justice" 2011 cartoon series; this movie series will kick butt, and fans are going to really love it!! AQUAMAN the movie trilogy, will bring back to life all of the characters & core heroes of the Aquaman comic book mythos, and revamp the abandoned "Aquaman" comic book title & reboot the series to a whole new level. Redefining & increasing powers of the legends of Aquaman, Aqualad, Mera, and Vulko as irreplaceable heroes in the DC Universe. The Movie saga will inspire fans, and have all the combination themes of other fan favorite movies like: STAR WARS, (the special effects & magical powers of HARRY POTTER), LORD OF THE RINGS, AND TRON: LEGACY, BATMAN & ROBIN, SUPERMAN, AND THE MATRIX TRILOGY.......NEW UPCOMING MOVIE SAGA ON GOING FILM FRANCHISE & COMIC BOOK SERIES (2014):
