Terry McGinnis continues the battle against crime as BATMAN, tutored by Bruce, and aided by a new high-tech Batsuit that augments his abilities, fires batarangs from the wrists, flies, and provides camouflage abilities. This Batman of 2040 comes to have his own rogues gallery, such as the seductive shapeshifter Inque and The Jokerz, a gang idolizing the Joker.—Anonymous
