Fifteen years into the future of Batman Beyond, Terry McGinnis learns that he is Bruce Wayne's biological son, and confronts Amanda Waller, who reveals that she created Project Batman Beyond to continue Wayne's legacy. She knew the world would always need a Batman, so she conspired to first overwrite Terry's father's DNA with Bruce's, and then, at the right age, send an assassin (Phantasm) to kill Terry's parents. However, Phantasm did not go through with it, telling Waller it would violate Batman's strong moral code. Terry's father was later killed by Mr. Fixx anyway under Derek Powers' orders. She explains that he is not Bruce's clone, but his son, and that he can always choose to live life on his terms and not have to be like Bruce, who pushed his loved ones away out of devotion to his crusade. She shares that while he may not have Bruce's intellect, he does have his heart. Encouraged, Terry plans to propose to Dana and goes home to take care of an elderly Bruce before flying off into the night as Batman to assist Superman with a case.

  • According to Stephen Harber, the episode was originally intended to be the series finale for Justice League Unlimited and the DCAU in general.[10] The decision to end on a Batman-heavy episode was planned as a way of bringing the series full circle, ending the same way that the premiere Batman: The Animated Series episode ("On Leather Wings") began with police spotting a bat-like figure in the night sky.
