Gotham Beyond

## History

Gotham Beyond takes place in 2030 and is the ***canonical*** future of Earth 52.

This futuristic setting is almost entirely confined to the locale of Gotham City and takes inspiration from Batman Beyond, The Dark Knight Returns, Kingdom Come, Futures End, Titans Tomorrow, and other future-set Elseworlds stories. Gotham Beyond the follows the adventures of a new Batman: Terry McGinnis as he tries to protect Gotham and reassemble the scattered allies of his mentor, Bruce Wayne.

### Who's Who?

* **Bruce Alan Wayne** is a billionaire philanthropist and the original Batman before he retired due to his health. He is nearly blind in one eye, arthritic, with a bum leg.
* **Terry McGinnis** is the new Batman after discovering Bruce's secret and convincing him that Gotham needed a protector once again.
* **Selina Wayne** is Bruce's wife and former thief turned heroic vigilante known as Catwoman. Selina retired with Bruce in order to raise their daughter, Helena.
* **Helena Wayne** is the daughter of Bruce and Selina, named after Helena Bertinelli who saved her mother's life. Helena has the combined grace, elegance, and charm of her mother along with her father's determination and intelligence. She is one of two Robins.
* **Max Gibson** is a good friend of Terry as well as the smartest person he knows. It didn't take long for Max to discover Terry's secret, so Terry recruited her into the team as the new Oracle.
* **Matt McGinnis** is Terry's younger brother and is in training as one of two Robins.
* **Dana Tan**
* **Ace** is a descendant of Titus, and is named after the dog who used to rule the grounds of Wayne Manor during the days of the first Boy Wonder.
* **Dick Grayson** is the eldest adopted son of Bruce Wayne and the first Robin as well as former heroic vigilante Nightwing. Currently, Dick is retired from the life of costumed crimefighting and is more focused on raising his young daughter Mary with his wife Barbara and serving as the CEO of the Pennyworth Foundation.

* **Mary Grayson** is the daughter of Dick and Barbara, named after her paternal grandmother. Her parents were unsure at first if Barbara could have children due to her past spinal injury, but thankfully, everything turned out just fine and Mary is a normal, healthy girl.
* **Haley** is a young Great Dane owned by the Graysons and is presumably a fellow descendant of Titus.
* **Jason Todd** is the second adopted son of Bruce Wayne, as well as being the former second Robin and Red Hood. Legally speaking, Jason "died" over twenty years ago, but in actuality, Jason was nursed back to health by the League of Assassins and resurfaced in Gotham during the time of No Man's Land. Jason is quick to anger and left Gotham years ago to travel the world. Recently, he has returned on his own order of business, but serves as an ally to the new Batman and his team.

Years ago, Damian and his father faked a fallout, and Damian returned to his mother's embrace as a member of the League of Assassins, secretly acting as his father's informant within the organization.
