History

Born in Gotham City to Warren McGinnis, a research scientist at Wayne-Powers and Mary McGinnis, an astronomer at Astro-Tech. Terrence "Terry" McGinnis, by his own admission was once a ‘bad kid,’ and a member of a street gang that was lead by Charlie “Big Time” Bigelow. He had a number of run-ins with Gotham City Police when he was in his early teens, and spent three months in juvenile hall.

When Terry was sixteen, and years after Batman was last seen, he is on the run form a street gang known as the JokerZ, modeled after the now deceased Clown Prince of Crime, The Joker. As he is running from the street gang, he unknowingly flees onto the grounds of Wayne Manor an aged Bruce Wayne comes to his defense. After the fight, Terry helps Bruce into his house and once Bruce is asleep, Terry is about to leave, when he notices a bat is stuck in an old grandfather clock. AS he frees the bat, Terry stumbles into the entrance of the Batcave.

He is kicked out by Bruce and upon returning home, finds his father has been murdered and later finds out it was his father’s boss, Derek Powers. He goes back to Bruce Wayne to ask for help in bringing down Derek Powers, and Bruce informs him that he has given up the cowl and will not help Terry. Taking the matter into his own hands, Terry steals the latest version of the Batsuit. Bruce talks with Terry and even deactivates the suit in the middle of a fight, but Terry is able to convince Bruce to help him. In the end, Powers is exposed to his own chemicals and becomes the villain known as Bight. After the fight, Bruce is convinced that there is still a need for Batman, and hires Terry to be his personal assistant, and begins training the new Batman.

Over the last few years, Terry has kept his secret identity form others and is now, having decided to continue his role as Batman to make up for his past sins with the hope that his heroic role is a chance at redemption.

Powers

Batsuit: A suit that is eighteen years old at the time Terry became Batman, but due to the technology be so advanced, it is still state-of-the-art. The batsuit conforms to the size and physique of its wearer, very durable, able to withstand massive concussive forces (able to take blows from Superman), fire, lasers, electric shocks, underwater pressure, wind force, and small doses of radiation. It is equipped with a cloaking device that enables almost complete camouflage, extending into the visible light and infrared frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. In addition to the other accessories that is built into the suit.

Batmobile: The batmobile that Terry uses is designed with some of the same features as the batsuit, specifically that suit can sync with the batmobile via remote or when piloted. The batmobile has the same cloaking device as the batsuit. Being a hover vehicle, the batmobile hovers a few feet off the ground, and if necessary can fly several hundred feet into the air and can reach speeds upwards of Mach 3. Additionally, it comes equipped with grappling hooks, on-board weapons (both defensive and offensive), and remote flying system. The interior is large enough for Batman and one passenger (though there is only one seat), and features a sophisticated communications array and voice-activated computer that is also linked to the main Bat Computer.

Training & Combat: Terry has received additional training form Bruce Wayne, and appears to be a capable street-fighter. Terry was a member of his high schools wrestling team and has displayed uncommon agility and tenacity. With the training from Bruce, his body has been honed to Olympic levels and takes part in regular rigorous training to minimize his reliance on the Batsuit. Due to this, his training has granted him exceptional reflexes, enabling him to evade gunfire and make impressive leaping attempts whether in or out of the Batsuit. His combat style is based upon agility and uses aerial leaps and bounds when fighting. He even uses untraditional fighting styles and dirty methods as opposed to the martial arts styles that the original Batman used.

Knowledge: Terry has inherited all of Bruce's qualities, possessing a genius level intellect, although not as high as Bruce's. He has trained to be a detective from Bruce, but wants to be a physician. He has learned to establish cures, remedies and antidotes under Bruce. Additionally, he is a capable actor, having been able con his way out of sticky situations.

Rogue's Gallery: Being the new Batman, Terry has acquired a Rogue's Gallery of villains, and these include: Blight, the radiation mutated man and main antagonist, the seductive shape-shifter Inque, the hypnotist Spellbinder, the bitter, deaf sound expert Shriek, the deadly assassin Curare, the insane terrorist Mad Stan, the African hunter Stalker, and the Jokerz, a gang idolizing the Joker. Additionally, Terry has on occasion, also forced to face his mentor's old foes, such as the atrophying Mr. Freeze, Bane (elderly, wasted, and dying from his consumption of Venom), the immortal Ra's al Ghul, and even a reborn Joker.

Major NPCs

Bruce Wayne: Despite his role as the new Batman, Terry leads a very different life than Bruce. In addition to coping with his father's death, Terry struggles to keep his secret identity from his mother and younger brother, much like Tim Drake did during his tenure as Robin in the comics. Because of his responsibilities as Batman, he was not afforded the same licenses the Robins enjoyed and was expected to be on the call whenever he was needed. As a result, Terry was just barely successful at balancing out his dual life, and the issue of him sacrificing his civilian life for his costumed one or neglecting his duties as Batman due to personal commitments became a source of tension between mentor and pupil, on several occasions prompting both men to reconsider Terry's reliability. Terry and Bruce developed a respect for each other, with Terry regarding Bruce as a surrogate father. In turn, Bruce treated Terry the same way he treated Dick Grayson and Tim Drake, possibly because of Terry's youth and inexperience. In time, Terry grew into the cowl, and Bruce grew to accept him as his heir to the Batman legacy.

Ace: Ace was taken away from his mother and taken to the pound. There, he was given to a dogfight trainer named Ronny Boxer. Abused and tortured, Ace was trained by Boxer to be a fighting machine. During Ace's first dogfight, the police raid the match. The dog escapes during the confusion into the snowy streets, unsuspecting of where to go. Meanwhile down in Crime Alley. Bruce is paying his annual visit to the site of his parents' death long ago. Bruce has some difficulty getting past a hulking Jokerz member, but manages to get by, aggravating the clown. He lays down his roses, unsuspecting of the Jokerz creeping up behind him. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Ace saves Bruce from a Jokerz gang member. Seeing the abuse Ace as been through, he takes him in for a companion and give shim the name, "Ace". Now that Terry has donned the mantle, Ace has grown pretty fond of Terry as well. Ace continues to be a vigilant watch out dog, as well as a great weapon to use against unsuspecting villains…and he's pretty good company.

Maxine "Max" Gibson: Terry's classmate and closest friend. Exceptionally capable when it came to computers and electronics, Max created a program that succeeded in uncovering Batman's secret identity. After unmasking Terry, she insisted on being a part of his secret life and helped him with everything from computer hacking to babysitting to detective work to coming up with excuses for him to give his girlfriend, Dana. Terry and Max remained close, but their relationship was never shown to exceed the boundaries of friendship. Max is, essentially, Terry's version of Alfred Pennyworth, and Terry even jokingly referred to her as such on one occasion.

Commissioner Barbara Gordon: Terry upheld tradition by forging an alliance with Gotham City's Police commissioner, Barbara Gordon, the daughter of James Gordon and formerly Batgirl, the original Batman's trusted ally. The alliance started out a rocky one, as Barbara never failed to take Terry's juvenile record into account and believed he was too reckless for the role of Batman. The fact that Terry occasionally ruined police stakeout operations by intervening without fully assessing the situation sometimes bore that belief out. Barbara was reluctant to assist the new Batman and to have a teenager as Gotham's new protector. The direct-to-video movie Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker revealed that Barbara remains haunted by the torture and humiliation Tim Drake long ago suffered at the hands of the Joker. She advised Terry to give up being Batman, and once tried to arrest him after he was framed for murder of criminal Mad Stan by Spellbinder. However, realizing that she couldn't deter him anymore than she could've been deterred from being Batgirl, Barbara relented. Barbara eventually warmed up to Terry, assisting him when Bruce was put out of action by a revived Joker. She stated that she hoped Terry would avoid the lonely existence that Bruce eventually led. However, Barbara's attitude was different from James Gordon's, and she noted once that she was "not my (her) father", never working as closely with Terry as her father did with Bruce. (i.e. using a Bat-Signal, directly giving him cases, etc).

Kairi Tanaga: was a star pupil of Yoru, a former sensei to the young Bruce Wayne, and later an accomplished sensei herself. Bruce sent Terry to her to brush up on his martial arts training. Kairi trained him hard for several weeks and he also learned that he keeps his right side open. Perished in the crash when the Kobras were killed with the words to Terry to 'remember the lessons in keeping his guard up.'

Fingers: Captured by hunters and the subject of gruesome experiments, Fingers used to be a regular gorilla. Within a matter of days he went from being a gorilla free in the wild, to just another science experiments. Spliced with human DNA, Fingers gained similar traits of a regular person, and also similar sensations. Speech, hearing, vision - now all resembled those of a regular human being. After getting revenge on the man who hunted and captured him, aided by Batman, Fingers returned to his native Africa to protect his own kind, to make sure no animal has to suffer like he has ever again.

Equipment & Vehicles

Batsuit

• 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 infra-red 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.)
• Electrical discharges throughout the suit that can be activated by pushing the button on the belt.

Batarangs

In a world of guns, it required intense practice for such a weapon to be effective against criminals. The batarang thus symbolized three aspects of Batman: first, the intense discipline and superb skill he applied to his training as a crime fighter; second, his recurring use of the bat as a symbol to frighten criminals; and third, his complete refusal to ever pick up a gun.

The term “batarang” could be applied to two categories of throwing weapons used by Batman: the first, similar to a classic boomerang, was meant to be thrown and return to its user; the second was a sharp-edged star or disc meant to cut or stick its target, similar to a Japanese ''shuriken''. Batman carried several varieties in his utility belt.

Basic Batarang

The basic batarang was essentially a boomerang crafted to resemble a bat with spread wings, without losing its functionality. Batman used these regularly to:

• stun enemies;
• disarm them by knocking weapons out of their hands;
• when attached to a cable, to lasso enemies, or as an alternative to his [[Grapple Gun]];

Advanced Batarangs

Batman incorporated technology into his batarangs, giving them a wide range of uses; these included:

• explosive batarangs for demolishing obstacles, or for stunning enemies with metahuman survivability;
• electric batarangs that could stun enemies, or disrupt electronic systems;
• ultrasonic batarangs that attracted bats in large numbers;

Bat Stars

These were throwing stars useful for cutting through hoses or wires to disrupt an enemy’s equipment. On at least one occasion, Batman was able to throw one of these with enough accuracy to lodge itself in the barrel of a [[Jazzman|smuggler]]’s gun, disabling it.

Batman also incorporated explosives into some varieties of Bat Stars, developing a sharp-edged version designed to lodge itself in a hard surface before exploding.

Future Batarangs

The latter-generation Batsuit worn first by Bruce Wayne and later by Terry McGinnis incorporated both types of Batarang into its gauntlets. It included dispensers that delivered a boomerang-style batarang to the user’s hand, and wrist launchers that fired throwing-star batarangs at a target.

The boomerang-style Batarang used in this suit consisted of a central bar flanked by two collapsible red “wings.”

The throwing-star variety was a flat disc with sharpened edges, capable of cutting through metal at velocity.

Terry McGinnis's Rogue's Gallery

Blight

Name: Derek Powers
Species: Metahuman
Hair: White (Human)
Eyes: Black (Human)
Relatives: Paxton Powers (son)
Affiliations: Wayne-Powers
Abilities: Radiation manipulation
Base: Gotham City

Bio:

A man of beastly tactics, Derek Powers stands over six feet tall and has a commanding presence with cool eyes, a slippery voice and stark white hair that can catch even the most cautious of business associates off guard. Not surprisingly, Powers holds a secret about his appearance.

After an unfriendly encounter with the Tomorrow Knight, Powers was exposed to a mutagenic nerve gas. The gas, in combination with the radiation he later received to heal his scars, has left him transformed into a walking toxic hazard named Blight. Beneath the layer of artificial skin that hides his true face from the world and contains his toxicity, Powers' body is luminescent, glowing like phosphorus.

Powers' manufactured skin must be replenished every 24 hours, or it deteriorates and falls away. At least once a night, Powers' doctors place him in a mold that vacuum packs a new layer of skin over his radiating body. Powers and his doctors are constantly searching to find a cure for his condition, and work tirelessly towards this goal. Powers' other goal is to do anything to kill the man he blames for his condition — Batman, the Tomorrow Knight.

Powers:

Powers' radioactive condition was symptomatic of his exposure to the nerve gas and consequent radiation treatment. His cellular structure was permanently imbued with the radiation that cured him, and thereafter his body glowed bright green. His intrinsic radiation could be contained with a special cosmetic skin devised by his medical staff, but every time Powers lost his composure, his skin flaked off. His very touch is lethal, and could burn through objects on contact. Powers soon learned how to concentrate his radiation into energy balls, which he then hurled at his opponents.

Inque

Name: Unknown
Species: Metahuman
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
Relatives: Deanna Clay (daughter)
Base: Gotham City
Affiliations: Iniquity Collective
Abilities: Shapeshifting

Bio:

The result of a clandestine mutagenic experiment, Inque is a treacherous shape-shifting femme fatale. She has the ability to transform from her natural human form into a pitch-black, semi-liquid state, in which she can slip through the smallest crack, mimic any object, or harden herself to deliver a mean wallop in a fight.

Inque's knack for sliding under doors and through narrow air vents made her a perfect corporate saboteur for hire, an occupation that had Interpol on her tail for years. But more recently, after being briefly captured by Batman and the elder Bruce Wayne, Inque has set aside her usual job to dedicate herself to shutting the pair down for good.

Powers:

Inque looked like a regular human, except for her tones of blue. Whenever she went undercover, she assumed a featureless form, with an white oval on her face, making her unrecognizable.

Inque was a polymorph, able to change her size and shape at will. Her body was a thick dark fluid that she could shape into a wide variety of forms, and harden herself to create weapons. She could form tentacles, flatten herself into a puddle, and reintegrate herself if cut into pieces. She had super strength and the ability to climb up walls and ceilings. Inque also possessed telescopic vision.

Inque's liquid body was subject to dilution in water, and solvents had an adverse effect on her physiology. She would lose the ability to change shape if frozen.

Spellbinder

Real name: Ira Billings
Species: Human
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Black
Base: Gotham City
Weaponry: Mindbending technology

Bio:

Spellbinder has the ability to induce hallucinations in others. His origin isn't one of criminal deeds, just plain anger and frustration. Ira Billings was once Hamilton High's student counselor. Day after day he would listen to their problems and help them find answers to their questions. Believing that he wasn't paid enough, and that the families he helped weren't grateful, he decided to take what was rightfully his. He created an alter ego, Spellbinder, who was able to induce hallucinations in people. He used his position as school counselor to learn where valuables were located, then manipulated students to steal for him. Spellbinder finally met his match when he tried to manipulate Terry McGinnis. Bruce Wayne managed to help Batman overcome Spellbinder's manipulations and defeat him. An interesting fact is that he's a descendant of the original Batman villain The Mad Hatter, Although they're not direct descendants. Spellbinder continues to oppose Batman.

Powers:

Spellbinder initially moved around on a wasp-looking craft, but it was destroyed in one of his earliest mêlées with Batman.

Spellbinder had a genius-level intellect, but he was not a skilled fighter. His dexterity relied heavily on his artillery and mind-warping technology. His main weapon was a floating "eyeball" that fed information into his victims' brain, which then replayed it before their eyes. By this means, he created illusions so realistic that allowed him to oblige nearly anyone into doing his bidding. It remains unclear, however, how Billings — being an underpaid High School counselor — managed to gather and develop such a complex array of weaponry and advanced technology before his first heists.

His vast knowledge of the human psyche, combined with his ghastly costume and mesmerizing voice, made Spellbinder one of most compelling rogues Batman had ever have to face.

Curare

Name: Unknown
Species: Human
Eyes: Black
Base: Gotham City
Affiliations: Society of Assassins
Weaponry: Scimitar

Bio:

She's deadly, and possesses an unending knowledge of killer tactics. She is an excellent Martial Artist, and is designed to kill. She possesses a scimitar that is no thicker than a molecule which can cut through anything and deflect gunfire. She is Curare. Not much is known about Curaré. She is a member of the Society of Assassins. In the society, the price of failure is death, but nobody has ever failed. Nobody remembers Curaré's real name or her face. The only photo of her is from an airport assassination. Curaré finally met her match in the form of Batman and Barbara Gordon. The both of them managed to capture Curaré and save district attorney Sam Young from her lethal blade. Curaré managed to escape, but must now face the consequences of failure. This is the only time she has failed, and is crucial to her character. Because of this, she had to destroy the entire Society of Assassins in order to remain to the best killer.

Weapons:

scimitar that is no thicker than a molecule which can cut through anything and deflect gunfire.

Shriek

Real name: Walter Shreeve
Species: Human
Hair: Grey
Eyes: Black
Base: Gotham City
Affiliations: Iniquity Collective
Weaponry: Sound suit

Bio:

Shriev was a brilliant sound engineer until Derek Powers stopped his funding. In order to save his business, Shreiv created a suit of sound for demolition. Powers saw no real use of it, until he discovered it could be used to destroy more than blocks. In order to please Powers, Shriev was assigned to kill Bruce Wayne. As a result, he became Shriek; a villain with sound based powers. Shreiv is able to use sound vibrations to create earthquakes and other destructive properties. He's also able to "mute" all sound in a surrounding area. Able to transmit radio signals to receivers the size of a paperclip.

After his first encounter with Batman, Shriek's suit was damage, which caused him to lose all hearing. While he was eventually able to form a kind of hearing aid, he was never able to fully regain his sound.

Weapons:

Shriek's sound suit was a cybernetic costume with four embedded sound generators. These generators were made of copper, iron and acoustium, an alloy that amplified sound vibrations.
* The chest generator adjusted the ultra-low frequency vibrations he could target at any direction;
* The right-hand generator was a "sound masker," that is, a muting device that produced absolute silence by replaying the sound it captured out of sync, making the waves cancel each other out;
* The helmet could alter his frequency perception by unblocking the sound waves canceled by the sound masker, and thus turning on and amplifying any desired sound;
* The two circular palms emanated destructive sound wave force, and had razor sharp claws in the event of hand-to-hand combat.
* After his deafening, Shriek also adapted the suit to temporarily restore his hearing while wearing it.

Mr. Freeze

Real name: Victor Fries
Species: Metahuman
Eyes: Black
Relatives: Nora Fries (wife); Dora Smithy (sister-in-law)
Base: Gotham City
Abilities: Withstand subzero temperatures
Weaponry: Freeze Gun

Bio:

A formidable foe from Bruce Wayne's era of Batman, Dr. Victor Fries was always an individual very deserving of sympathy. He was once a brilliant scientist who worked for GothCorp in an attempt to cure his cryogenically frozen wife of a deadly disease when a tragic incident twisted him into the infamous Mr. Freeze. Despite the fact that his motivating factor was charged with emotion, the cold Mr. Freeze often proclaimed himself to be dead to emotion and feeling. Mr. Freeze worked tirelessly, viciously, and almost maniacally in an attempt to revive his wife of her fatal ailment. While he eventually succeeded, it was at the cost of his own physical body. While initially unable to reach her, his disease eventually caught up with him and by the time his condition stabilized he was reduced to nothing more than an immortal head.

Too ashamed to seek out his beloved Nora, the head of Fries laid dormant for forty years before his destiny was intertwined with another infamous Batman foe: Derek Powers / Blight. Looking for a way to cure his condition, Dr. Stephanie Lake proposed a cunning solution. In order to test it, she sought out Fries because he had an irreversible condition similar to that of Powers. While Fries was temporarily restored to good heath, eventually his condition quickly took a turn for the worse and Dr. Lake opted to terminate the experiment. Feeling betrayed yet again, Mr. Freeze returned to exact revenge on those whom he felt wronged him, and after a confrontation with Blight and Batman probably died.

Powers:

As a result of the accident, Freeze's normal body temperature leaves him able to withstand levels of cold ordinarily fatal to other humans. The reverse of this is an extreme vulnerability to heat.

A side effect of Freeze's condition is that his body's natural aging process slowed to the point where he was practically immortal.

Freeze maintains his body's temperature with a cybernetic environmental suit that also triples his strength and is heavily armored.

Freeze's signature weapon is his "freeze gun," a ray gun that can create ice from airborne water vapor, or any nearby water source.

Both the suit and gun are of Freeze's own invention, and he has developed several other pieces of technology that make him extremely dangerous.

Mad Stan

Real name: Stanley Labowski
Species: Human
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
Base: Gotham City
Affiliations: Independent
Weaponry: Explosives

Bio:

Ah, the 60s, a time of peace, love, flower power…and VIOLENT rebellion. Batman-nemesis Mad Stan, a 60s-style radical, especially loved that last aspect of the period, because Stan is not only angry, he's insane. This hulking, militaristic madman also loves explosive devices. Basically, he never met a bomb he didn't like.

Mad Stan himself is a lot like a bomb: he's easily ticked off. One day his anger might be directed at having to pay fines for overdue library books. The next day, he's ready to blow up society in general. Why? Well, as far as Mad Stan is concerned, why not? And, of course, Mad Stan can not go anywhere without his noble dog at his side.

Whatever the cause of his ire, ultra-violent Stan is always one of Batman's most explosive problems.

Weapons:

Mad Stan will use everythign from Grenades to high-yield explosives as he fights against the corruption of 'the System.'

Joker

Real name: Jack Napier
AKA: Clown Prince of Crime
Species: Human
Hair: Green
Eyes: Red
Base: Gotham City
Affiliations: Injustice Gang; Royal Flush Gang
Weaponry: Laughing gas, hand-buzzer, various gadgets

Bio:

Described as a "monster" and a "psychopath" by the aging Bruce Wayne, the original Joker was a sadistic clown who delighted in tormenting the first Batman and his allies.

A one-time nameless underworld gun for hire, the man who would become the Joker once fought Batman during a botched robbery at a chemical plant and fell into a vat of acid. The accident scarred both the criminal's face and mind. Now calling himself the Joker, the madman embarked on a campaign to make every citizen of Gotham a victim of his lethal antics.

Joker's determination to wreck havoc on the city continues into the time of Batman Beyond, as the clown has apparently returned, alive, unchanged, and in his words, "Ready to give this old town a wedgie again!"

Bio: When The Joker showed up at Bruce Wayne's ceremony for his return to Wayne / Powers, he and Terry were both confused by how he was seemingly able to rise from the dead. It was soon revealed to Terry that The Joker had once captured Robin (Tim Drake) and turned him into "J.J." or "Joker Jr." During this time, The Joker took state of the art technology and implanted a microchip with his DNA that would allow him to take over Tim Drake's body at will, enabling to be "alive" in the future.

The Joker attempted to make Bruce and Terry's lives a living hell by taking away all they cared about—Joker sent out his Jokerz to injure Terry's girlfriend, Dana. After gaining control of a super-laser now in orbit around Earth, Joker began setting his targets; first was the hospital that Dana was staying at; he then targeted the apartment complex in which Terry's mother and brother were living. For Wayne, he targeted Wayne Manor, knowing the blast would destroy the Manor and the massive cave below.

Joker was stopped once Terry confronted him in a fight to the death; Terry took Joker's joy buzzer that had fallen off during Joker's fight with Ace and fried the microchip on Joker's neck, returning him to Tim Drake once and for all.

Abilities & Equipment:

Throughout the years, the Joker used a wide variety of instruments to exact his comedic homicides. His equipment included guns (of the trick and real variety), joy buzzers (which electrocuted the victim), and a wide variety of laughing gases (which incapacitated the victim with laughter). Most famously, the Joker had a flower attached to his suit. This flower emitted a wide variety of chemicals, depending on the situation and the Joker's mood. Laughing gas and acid were popular variants, but the possibilities were limited only to the Joker's mind.

Joker also seemed strangely resistant to death, constantly surviving and coming back from things - including long falls, explosions and being mind-wiped by Ace, to name a few (though the last one can be explained by complexity of his own mind) - that should by all rights have ended his career, until he finally died in Terry McGinnis era.

Originally, the Joker possessed little more than average physical strength, albeit enough to regularly hold his own against Batman. However, upon inhabiting the mind of Tim Drake, he acquired the training, conditioning, and knowledge of Batman and Robin.

Stalker

Species: Human
Eyes: Black
Base: Gotham City
Affiliations: Iniquity Collective
Abilities: Heightened senses and reflexes
Weaponry: Spear, darts

Bio:

He hunts only the most dangerous prey. Stalker, whose real name is unknown, was a game hunter who was growing tired of the hunt. Then, wild hunting in Africa - he was maliciously attacked by a panther, crippling him. He had the resources to afford the best doctors to fix his body, and they did. Fixing his broken spine, they added a metallic spine. Not only that, but his strength and cunning was augmented. This was terrible news for Stalker - he could no longer hunt the "regular" game of the wild. Now he has set his sights toward Batman…the ultimate game.

Powers & Abilities:

Stalker was a well-known, competent hunter, albeit infamous for his methods. After having his broken spine replaced, he acquired augmented senses, agility and strength. Ironically, his source of strength was also his greatest weakness. When subjected to the right amount of electricity, Stalker's metal spine would conduit the discharge through his entire body, effectively knocking him out.

Equipment:

Stalker possessed an array of seemingly tribal but highly sophisticated weapons, such as a retractable metal spear, and a blowpipe to shoot metal darts. He also had phosphorous grenades which he threw at anyone he desired to track down with a special lens of his.[1][2] All of which makes him a highly dangerous and challenging opponent.

Willie Watt

Species: Metahuman
Hair: Black
Eyes: Black
Relatives: Frank Watt (father)
Base: Gotham City
Abilities: Telekinesis

Due to a mechanical flaw and an accident, Willie Watt forged a telepathic link between himself and GOLEM so he could control it anywhere with his mind without the aid of a device.

He hoarded unwanted items and discarded property, proclaiming himself a "Pack Rat." He also developed hybrid flowers that grew without photosynthesis. His interest in the neglected and unappreciated was eventually expanded to people. He observed them from below, particularly those who he thought to be neglected like him.

Real name: David Clinton
Species: Human
Hair: Grey
Eyes: Blue
Relatives: Enid Clinton (wife)
Base: Gotham City
Affiliations: Joker's Jokerz
Abilities: Time Travel
Weaponry: Chronosuit

Bio:

Clinton's peers spurned him for his claims of discovering time travel, which cost him both his tenure and reputation. However, Clinton came through. He developed time traveling technology and incorporated it into a 'Chronosuit'. He used the device to collect rare relics from the past. However, he initially only took stuff that wouldn't be missed, lest he change the timestream. Clinton went to the past and attempted to steal Batman's utility belt from the Watchtower, but he was thwarted by John Stewart, Wonder Woman, and Batman. He jumped into a time vortex, but the League chased him

Clinton arrived in the Old West (1879), where he was jumped by a group of men working for the local crime lord, Tobias Manning. They stole his time traveling device, which Manning used to steal advanced weaponry from the future, and then take over the town of Elkhorn. Clinton was kept behind bars for nearly six months ― until the League finally caught up with him ― to teach Manning how to use the technology he couldn't understand. When the Leaguers, Ohiyesa Smith, Bat Lash, Jonah Hex, and El Diablo defeated the outlaws, Clinton managed to retrieve his belt and fled in a time portal, followed by the Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, and Batman again.

Clinton had initially been a pushover, mocked by his time traveling theories, and constantly thrashed by his verbally abusive wife, Enid. However, his newfound power drove him insane, and he became a megalomaniacal sociopath. He now traveled back to his time (the future) and asserted himself as Lord Chronos, the undisputed master of space and time. He no longer cared about time paradoxes, and started collecting all sorts of relics from the past. He took over Gotham and used the city as a big storage space to collect his memorabilia. He also made himself king, escorted by a very much tamed Enid, now scared of Chronos' temper and mood swings. He enlisted the Joker's Jokerz as his Royal Guard, and endowed them with special enhancements.

Then, he pitted them against the Leaguers, right when they arrived from their time travel. However, the Jokerz failed due to treason within the group. Chronos ruthlessly disposed of the traitor ― Chucko ― by leaving him in the past, seconds before the dinosaurs were made extinct by a meteorite. Due to Chronos' tampering with the past, the timeline started to unravel, so the League and the JLU tracked him down to reprogram his belt and restore time. Chronos fled to the Beginning of Time, to reset it and make himself a god. However, he was promptly intercepted by John Stewart and Batman, who reprogrammed the time-belt. This reversed Chronos' doings, trapping him in a time loop, right before everything started.

Equipment:

Clinton’s Chronosuit lets him open portals to anywhere within time and travel to that location.

Groups

• The Jokerz: The Jokerz are a motorcycle gang devoted to the Clown Prince of Crime. While the original Joker might have long since disappeared from Gotham, his spirit lives on inside these villainous hellions. Dressed in clown outfits and face paint, the Jokerz' primary concern is creating chaos. They especially enjoy practical jokes that turn deadly. There are more than one gang spread out through Gotham City. There are at least three known groups. One group even followed the original Joker! The Jokerz reign their terror on Gotham, causing fear in all who cross them.
  • Terminal's Jokerz: One of the main factions of Jokerz, this one was led by Hamilton High School student Carter Wilson, aka “Terminal.” Terminal and his gang attempted to go after Maxine Gibson, who was one above Carter on the top students at Hamilton High. Though Terminal nearly succeeded, with the combined force of Batman and Max, they were taken down and brought to justice.

    • Chucko, Ghoul, Woof - In Jail
    • Bonk - Deceased
• Royal Flush Gang: The family of crooks known as the Royal Flush Gang has been tormenting Gotham for years. Consisting of a King and Queen, as well as a Jack, Ten and Ace, the Royal Flush Gang is a force to be reckoned with. The gang utilizes weapons shaped like playing cards and flies across the city on card-shaped boards. While they don't have any superhuman powers, King is a master swordsman and Ace is an artificial human. Ten, the daughter of the bunch, is torn between her gentle and ruthless sides, and develops a rather unprofessional relationship with Batman.
• The Derby: A group of high stakes rollers, The Derby consists of many wealthy patrons. Though the security is high at these tournaments, Ten, once a member of the Royal Flush Gang, was able to steal from them on two occasions, though the first was thwarted by Batman.
• April Moon Gang: A nameless gang of thugs who wanted to make an impression on Gotham's underworld, these men decided the only way to get noticed was to enhance their strengths via cybernetics. Forced to enhance these thugs, Corso secretly dubbed them "The April Moon Gang," the name coming from a treasured song between he and his wife. With each members' abilities cybernetically enhanced, they now have the power they so desired. The only thing they didn't count on, however, was running into Gotham's protector. After kidnapping the wife of a noted medical scientist, Dr. Peter Corso, they forced him to enhance every member of the gang with a specific trait and weapon:
  • Bullwhip - enhanced with cybernetic whips, controlled by his thoughts.
  • Kneejerk - enhanced with sharp cutting instruments, most notably fixated on his kneecaps.
  • Krul - enhanced with a metal armor, which is hid in chambers under his skin under activated.
  • Terrapin - enhanced with large, deadly fists.
• The Kobras: Afraid of snakes? Well then the Kobras probably aren't the club you've been looking to join. The Kobras aren't really a club anyway. In fact, they're a secret reptile-worshipping organization bent on total world domination. And you thought the Boy Scouts had too many rules! Kobra members not only dress like snakes, they're hard at work on a plan that will let them actually BECOME reptiles, in the form of human-dinosaur hybrids. And this is no snake-in-the-sky fantasy. Well-financed, scientifically advanced and vast in numbers, this group might just slither their way to success…
• Splicers: Teenagers known as “Splicers” are those who went in for genetic mutation that spliced their DNA with that of an animal. Splicing was the brainchild of Dr. Cuvier and was a hot trend among Gotham’s teens. Batman put a stop to Cuvier’s DNA mutation when it was discovered to have adverse side affects. Most Splicers reverted to their previous selves via an antidote, but a few remained what they were.
• Society of Assassins: A guild of assassins for hire in the future and was founded by Ra's al Ghul (exactly when is unknown) to be "the fang that protects the head." Members of the League demonstrated willingness to die at a word from Ra's. They have included some of the most dangerous assassins in the world including Lady Shiva, David Cain, and master archer Merlyn. For much of its current history any member to fail in an assassination was in turn targeted by the League (and indeed, one of its best-known members, the master-archer Merlyn was eventually forced to flee from the League, fearing for his life, having failed to assassinate Batman).
• Payback: A brutal vigilante set out to avenge neglected children. He wielded a laser whip to punish his targets. Payback was in fact a neglected child himself, Kenny Stanton. Payback's attacks were pretty brutal, and he always shot to kill. He nearly killed the shop's manager, and plunged a moving car off a cliff. On both instances he would have murdered his victims, had Batman not intervened on time.
