Fuelled by remorse and vengeance, a high schooler named Terry McGinnis revives the role of Batman. Under supervision of an elderly Bruce Wayne, he fights crime in a harsh, futuristic Gotham.

The year is 2039; Bruce Wayne has retired as Batman and Gotham City is without a symbol of hope. However, like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, a new Batman will take Bruce's place: in the form of his newfound errand-boy, Terry McGinnis. The legend lives on. Batman goes beyond the Wayne legacy and into uncharted territory, making new enemies, friends, and reasons for why the world still needs Batman in it.—Johnny

At least forty years after the "current" adventures of Batman and twenty years after Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy) retired from the role, his secret is discovered by troubled teen Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle). After McGinnis' father is murdered by the man who took over Bruce Wayne's company, McGinnis dons a high-tech Bat suit that Wayne last used, creating a new hero for a future Gotham.

Bruce Wayne (Kevin Conroy) is in his fifties and has created the ultimate Batsuit, but is no longer fully able to do the job, so he puts the suit away and vows to never use it. Several years later, and into the next century, there's a new breed of criminal terrorizing Gotham City, but Bruce has kept his vow. Terry McGinnis (Will Friedle), a teenager whose father was killed because he was going to expose criminal activities at the company for which he works, which just happens to be Wayne Enterprises. Terry comes across Bruce as he was being beaten by some thugs, he takes him to the mansion and he discovers the Batcave and the Batsuit. He takes the suit to get the people who killed his father. Afterwards, Bruce decides to make him the new Batman and train him.—[email protected]
