      spoiler

      Terry is genetically Bruce’s son because the government put DNA altering tech (NANOMACHINES, SON) into a flu shot they gave to Terry’s dad so that his sperm would genetically be Bruce Wayne’s. Then later the government was going to murder Terry’s parents so he would get traumatized and become Batman.

      Yes it’s real, yes it’s stupid. The show is still great. (The reveal also happens in a Justice League episode so you don’t even have to skip over it while watching the show.)

        Thanks, i really wanted to know but i dont have the free time for a rewatch.

        I watched the show but I didn’t get to follow the story well because back in my day we couldn’t just stream a show we had to watch a certain TV channel at a certain time and oh fuck I’m old.

          The show is easily watchable in bits and pieces. As long as you understand the basic premise (Bruce Wayne got old and retired as Batman, a teen discovered his secret and is now the new Batman in a cyberpunk future, crime fighting under the guidance of Bruce) then it is as episodic as any of the other DC cartoons of the time.

      Late-90s cartoons worldwide had some killer music, because the budget had to go somewhere. Frames are expensive and last a fraction of a second. Picture quality was small and soft. But even the dinkiest TV/VCR could blast stereo in broadcast quality.
