Character history:
Terry was born in Gotham City, on August 18th to Warren and Mary McGinnis. He had a pleasant childhood, which changed at the age of eight, when his parents divorced. His father moved out, leaving Terry emotionally distraught. He resented his mother, labelling her as the cause of his father’s departure. He became disobedient and disrespectful attitude towards her, pushing Mary to her breaking point, until she was left with no choice but to send him to live his father. The move caused a rift between Terry and his younger brother Matt, whom remained with their mother.
As the years went by, Terry grew older and wiser, and eventually understood why his mother had divorced his father – after having to endure the frustration of being introduced to the many women in his father’s life. By the age of twelve, Terry had had enough, and decided to move back into his mother’s home.
The changes in Warren and Mary’s lives, following their divorce, psychologically affected Terry. At thirteen, he had already gained a reputation as one of the most misbehaved students at his middle school, and had even been suspended on a number of occasions for his antics. He was even almost expelled on one occasion.
Contrary to his behaviour at school, Terry was academically gifted. This attribute was the glimmer of hope his parents had for him to make a success, academically. To their delight, he made it to high school, but it was a bittersweet achievement. Terry’s bad qualities attracted freshmen of the same nature, and eventually, he formed an alliance that consisted of the most notorious freshmen.
‘The Notorious Outlaws’, (they called themselves) occasionally skipped classes at high school, to roam the streets of Gotham City and cause all types of trouble, such as shoplifting, stealing women’s purses, and vandalizing properties.
Within the space of six months, Terry built himself a reputation on the streets, gaining the interest of one of Gotham City’s most notorious criminals, Charles ‘Big Time’ Bigelow, who eventually recruited him into his gang of thugs. Terry’s involvement with the group led him into trouble with Gotham’s police on several occasions. He also spent three months in a juvenile hall.
Spending time in a juvenile hall had no positive effect on the youth, who continued his criminal activities under Big Time. As the reputation of the gang increased, they formed rivalries with other criminal factions. Their biggest altercation transpired against the Royal Flush Gang, the most powerful criminal organization in Gotham City – founded by the most notorious criminal in Gotham City, the Joker. A fight broke out after the Big Time Boys refused to give them a cut of their earnings. Bigelow’s gang was easily overwhelmed by the more experienced criminal unit. Bigelow and a few others were fortunate enough to escape the onslaught; however, Terry was not one of them. He tried his best to defend himself, but the numbers against him were too great to counteract. He was beaten badly. As one of them was on the verge of stabbing him with a stainless steel, dagger, a caped crusader came to his rescue – remarkably fighting off all of the assailants. His name was Batman.
Terry recovered, finding himself inside the underground of a mansion, owned by a rich, businessman named Bruce Wayne. He was introduced to the mansions butler, Alfred, and Batman, for the second time. Batman advised the teenager to stay out of trouble.
Terry began to feel remorse for his past crimes, after constantly envisioning Batman saving his life. After a few more days of reflecting upon the event, he reached an epiphany, and returned to Batman’s mansion – confessing the desire to turn his life around. He requested for Batman to train him in combat. Batman was reluctant to do so at first, due to doubting the teen’s sincerity, but is eventually swayed by Terry’s persistence.
Several years later, a war ensues between Batman and the Joker. Terry offered his assistance, but the superhero ensured that he did not need the aid of his apprentice to bring down the villain. Batman eventually defeated the joker, leading to the supervillains incarceration.
Contrary to being glorified as Gotham’s greatest hero once again, Batman is framed for a chain of murders, including a police officer. The condemned saviour of Gotham is left with no choice but to flee from the city, leading to a police hunt, to track him down.
Batman’s departure leaves Terry distraught, and bitter towards the law, who he believed betrayed his mentor. Alfred took on the role as Terry’s mentor, helping the teen keep his emotions in check. Under Alfred’s supervision, he continued his training in the underground compartment of Bruce Wayne’s mansion.
One day, after training session at mansion, Terry returned to his home to find his father murdered in his living room. He later discovers that Derek Powers, a businessman who had taken over Wayne Enterprises, is responsible. Powers had developed a mutagenic nerve gas and intended to sell it as a weapon; however, his employee Warren discovered this and threatened to expose him. Derek ordered his henchman, Mr. Fixx to take care of Warren to prevent this.
Following Bruce Wayne’s absence, Terry returned to the mansion in search of the legendary Batsuit worn by his mentor, however, Alfred presented him with a new design that Bruce had made, built with advanced technology. Bruce had created it as a precaution. He felt, in the event that anything disastrous was to happen to him – it would be given to Terry to wear as his predecessor, as the new Batman.
Terry’s first target as the new Batman is Derek’s henchman, Mr. Fixx, the associate who had been ordered to kill his father. The masked combatant managed to track down the murderer at a warehouse. He was busy supervising the shipment of the nerve gas canisters. The cunning, incarnation of Batman, used stealth to take down the workers one by one, until only his target remained. Mr. Fixx, who had discovered what had transpired, took off with the cargo, but was pursued by the relentless teen. He broke into the hovercraft, causing the driver, Mr. Fixx, to activated auto pilot mode. The mercenary snuck up on Batman, blindsiding him. He manhandled the masked opponent, enjoying every moment as he toyed with him. Being overlooked worked to Terry’s advantage, as he took advantage of an opportune moment, punching Mr. Fixx in the face with all of his might, causing the brute to collide with the crafts controls. The ship swerved out of control. Batman managed to vacate the ship before it crashed into Gotham’s bay, drowning Mr. Fixx, along with the nerve gas canisters.
After haven taken care of Mr. Fixx, Batman went after Derek Powers, who he managed to track down at his secret science lab. After taking down security, he snuck into the laboratory, where he encountered the businessman. The young fighter handled Derek with ease. When the villain questioned the assailant’s motives, Batman removed his mask, revealing himself as Terry McGinnis, the son of Warren. This led Derek to abuse his father in his presence. A riled up Terry, responds by booting Derek on his chest, causing him to crash into a pile of nerve gas canisters, which break and release green chemicals. Terry escapes, avoiding being exposed to radiation.
Feeling a sense of justice instilled the youth with a new mindset. He felt it was his duty to stop people like Derek Powers, to prevent anyone from having to deal with the pain of losing a loved one, as he endured. As a result, Terry takes on the permanent role as Batman.

Writing example:
Terry slowly opened to his eyes, capturing dim surroundings. There were a few lights in the corners of (what appeared to be) a cave’s ceiling, that prevented him from being surrounded in complete darkness. He could hear the sounds of water dripping. They were slow yet consistent, and each drip occurred one and a half seconds after the former. The atmosphere was so tranquil that each drop echoed around the dark room. The rhythm was disrupted by a squeak. The youth, who discovered he was resting on a single, sized bed that happened to provide good comfort, listened attentively. He was intrigued by the sound he had just heard, and hoped to hear it again. He got his wish as another squeak occurred, this time it came from another area of the cave. The fluttering of wings was the final clue he needed to recognize the species of animal that surrounded him. He flinched, as a creature quickly sailed over him. The involuntary reflex was followed by a groan of pain. Two things suddenly dawned on him. The first confirmed his suspicions; he was surrounded by bats. The second caused him to retrigger the event that had transpired earlier. He and the other members of the Big Time Boys, had gotten themselves into a brawl with the Royal Flush Gang. The Big Time Boys had come up short; now here he was, after reaping a beatdown at the hands of the Joker’s goons.
“So, you have awakened.”
Terry turned his head to the right, to find a butler in his presence. He fitted the butler stereotype immaculately, as he was dressed in a black suit, with a white shirt. He was also an old man too.
“Who the hell are you? Where am I?”
“Firstly, my name is Alfred. Secondly, you are currently residing inside a batcave.”
Batman, Terry remembered. Batman had saved his life. The criminal owed his life to a defender of justice, and not just any defender of justice, the greatest. The irony caused the youth to grimace.
“Fuck. Fuck, fucking fuck.”
