Main characters
* Batman (Terry McGinnis), Terry McGinnis (voiced by Will Friedle) - The current Batman and a former juvenile delinquent. Under the pretense of doing errands for Bruce, Terry fights crime as the new Batman. Terry was chosen to be the new Dark Knight as he shared a similar loss as Bruce had....that being the death of a parent. * Batman, Bruce Wayne (voiced by Kevin Conroy) - The original Batman, he is Terry's employer, mentor, and predecessor. During his final mission as Batman, Bruce suffered a heart attack that forced him to use a gun in self-defense. Abhorred by this, he hung up his cape and cowl. When Terry became the new Batman, Bruce helped him out from the Batcave. * Maxine "Max" Gibson (voiced by Cree Summer) - A genius high schooler and friend of Terry's. She discovers his secret identity early on in the series, and from then on occasionally helps Batman in an Alfred Pennyworth, Alfred-like role, though she is considered a nuisance to his predecessor (but less so as time went on). Her parents are divorced and she has an unnamed sister. * Ace the Bat-Hound, Ace (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker) - Bruce Wayne's pet Great Dane, who was formerly a stray before being adopted by Bruce after he defended him from a Jokerz thug at Crime Alley during one of his annual visits there in memory of his slain parents. Fiercely loyal to Bruce, he eventually develops a bond with Terry as the series progresses.Terry's family
* Warren McGinnis and Mary McGinnis (voiced by Michael Gross (actor), Michael Gross and Teri Garr) - Terry and Matt's divorced parents. Warren was killed by Mr. Fixx at the start of the series. How that happened is unknown, nor revealed to the public. Terry moves in with his mother after his father's death. Mary believes that Terry works as an errand boy for Bruce. In the rebooted universe, Mary was killed during the ''The New 52: Futures End, Futures End'' crossover. * Matt McGinnis (voiced by Ryan O'Donohue) - Terry's younger brother. Always looking to get his brother in trouble, Matt is ironically a big fan of Batman. In the rebooted universe, Matt finds out about Terry's secret and becomes an invaluable ally to Batman, as well as the new Robin (character), Robin.Recurring characters
* Dana Tan (voiced by Lauren Tom) - Terry's girlfriend. She had a hard time accepting his responsibilities as Bruce Wayne's employee initially, but became more understanding regarding his frequent absences. In both the original comics and the rebooted universe, she discovers Terry's secret. Later on, it is revealed during the ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "Epilogue" that Terry was going to propose to her. * Barbara Gordon (voiced by Stockard Channing in season 1, Angie Harmon in seasons 2 and 3 and ''Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker'', Tara Strong as the young Barbara Gordon/Batgirl in ''Return of the Joker'') - The no-nonsense Gotham police commissioner and former Batgirl. She was the daughter of the long-deceased former police commissioner, James Gordon (comics), James Gordon. No longer what she once was, having been hardened and determined through years of personal tragedy, the new Commissioner Gordon is not entertained by the notion of Batman's heir and often clashes with Terry, though time helps her to realize his value to Neo-Gotham. Unlike most Batman universes, she never lost the use of her legs or became Oracle, although the event that in the comics led her to become the latter was referenced in the episode "A Touch of Curaré". It is also implied that she had an affair with Bruce that ended badly. Due to Barbara's father's past alliance with Batman, she is being suspected by the city (especially his rogues gallery) of maintaining the same relationship with him despite that she did not reinstall the Bat-Signal. In the rebooted comic universe, Barbara's not against working alongside Terry, she also encourages Dick Grayson's daughter Elainna to continue as the new Batwoman. * Batman_(Terry_McGinnis)#Melanie_Walker/Ten, Melanie Walker (voiced by Olivia d'Abo) - A member of the Royal Flush Gang by the name of Ten, she is an on-off love interest of Terry McGinnis, similar to Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, but without Melanie knowing that Terry is Batman. * Sam Young (voiced by Paul Winfield) - A Gotham district attorney and Barbara's husband. * Howard Groote (voiced by Max Brooks) - A nerdy student at Hamilton Hill High School and friend of Terry. His design was based on producer Paul Dini. * Bobbi "Blade" Sommer (voiced by Melissa Disney) - A popular student at Terry's school. She never has a steady boyfriend and occasionally goes out with different boys. Blade is seen to be friends with Terry, Dana, Max and Howard. * Chelsea Cunningham (voiced by Yvette Lowental in 1999 and 2000, Rachael Leigh Cook in 2000) - Another Hamilton High student, she is the best friend of Dana and Terry and the former girlfriend and crush of Nelson. * Nelson Nash (voiced by Seth Green) - An athlete and bully at Terry's school, who eventually matures and becomes more friendly during the series. He seems to be popular with the girls, but never has a steady girlfriend. He is very similar, both physically and mentally, to Flash Thompson from the ''Spider-Man'' universe, given his adversarial-turned-friendly relationship with Terry and his admiration for Batman.Supporting characters

* / Blight (voiced by Sherman Howard) - A ruthless businessman and father of Paxton Powers, whose company Powers Technology merged with Wayne Enterprises years before, around the time of Wayne's retirement as Batman; it is also heavily implied that he was an enemy of Batman, as he hardly shows surprise when the new Dark Knight shows up in an attempt to stop him out of vengeance. After accidentally being exposed to a biological weapon of his own making, Powers is treated with radiation. As a result of the side-effect that renders his body translucent, he becomes the radioactively powerful supervillain known as Blight. Powers' dual identity as Blight was later exposed by Paxton. While his body was never found when his submarine sank, Batman still believes that Blight might still be alive. ** (voiced by George Takei) - Derek Powers' right-hand man who is responsible for Warren McGinnis' death under his employer's orders. Having lost his right eye in the past, it implied by the shape of his scar that the original Batman was responsible with one of his batarangs. Fixx is presumably killed in a plane crash after a battle with the new Batman, drowning in Powers' weapon supplies in Gotham Bay. ** Dr. Stephanie Lake (voiced by Linda Hamilton) - A Wayne-Powers scientist. While being among the scientists who work to suppress Powers' radiation, Dr. Stephanie Lake suggested building him a new body. To test out this process, Dr. Lake convinced the head of Mr. Freeze to go through the cloning process while transferring his mind into the clone. While the process with Mr. Freeze worked at first with Victor Fries making different types of amends in his new body, Dr. Lake found that Victor's body was starting to revert to not being able to tolerate heat. Victor escaped after Dr. Lake locked him in a hot room under Powers' orders so that they can study the problem. When Victor obtained a new suit to keep his body cold, he resumed his Mr. Freeze identity and confronted Powers and Dr. Lake which resulted in Mr. Freeze using his freeze gun to freeze Dr. Lake to death. Powers was also frozen, but was thawed out when he became Blight. ** (voiced by Cary Elwes in "Ascension", Parker Stevenson in "King's Ransom") - The estranged son of Derek Powers, who takes over his position as Wayne-Powers CEO after he secretly arranges the public exposure that reveals the elder Powers' identity as the supervillain Blight. However, Paxton is also as ruthless and power-hungry as his father. Eventually, after numerous schemes Batman opposed, Powers was arrested after his collusion with the Royal Flush Gang was exposed and Bruce Wayne re-assumed control of his company. * The - A violent Gang, street gang who dress and act in the tradition of the infamous Joker (character), Joker. Unlike the supervillain they emulate, they are merely teenage delinquents who enjoy vandalism and petty crime. However, most of the members truly are sociopathic, reminiscing their idol, strongly implied that they use brainwashing as ritual of their initiation. They are usually apprehended by Batman quite easily and serve as more of a nuisance than a genuine threat. Despite this, they are a genuine problem for Neo-Gotham City, and their criminal activities and constant harassment of innocent citizens are one of the first signs that show how much worse things have gotten for the city after the original Batman's retirement. There have been three different versions of the Jokerz. In the mainstream comics, Dick Grayson (who was operating as Batman at the time) encountered a gang called the Jokerz which is led by a man impersonating the real Joker. ** J-Man's Jokerz Faction - The first faction of Jokerz are first seen in the series premiere "Rebirth". They are seen committing petty pranks and harassment before being framed by Mr. Fixx for the murder of Terry's father. This branch of the Jokerz have appeared throughout the series since. *** J-Man (voiced by Bruce Timm) - Dresses very similarly to the original Joker. Bruce Timm is the producer for the DCAU shows, and joked in the DVD commentary that his performance as J-Man was "Emmy-Award-winning material". *** Dottie (voiced by Lauren Tom in the first appearance, Cree Summer in later appearances) - A member of the Jokerz who wears a polka-dot dress. She wields a rubber chicken with spikes on it. *** Smirk (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum) - J-Man's "Personal assistant, right-hand clown". *** Coe (voiced by Scott Valentine (actor), Scott Valentine) - A member of the Jokerz who wears a jester's hat and a jacket with one of the sleeves ripped off. He wields a baseball bat. *** Spike (voiced by Joe Lala in the first appearance, Mark Slaughter in later appearances) - A member of the Jokerz who wears a green trenchcoat and carries an acid-laced cream pie with him. *** Scab (voiced by Marc Worden) - A member of the Jokerz that wears a red single-coned jester's cap. Scab was possibly inspired by Harley Quinn. He is a power-hungry psychopath and wears a giant boxing glove on his right hand. *** Top Hat (voiced by Bruce Timm) - A member of the Jokerz that wears an outfit that is similar to the DCAU version of the Penguin (character), Penguin. *** Lee (voiced by Ethan Embry) - A student at Hamilton Hill High School. He dropped out to join the Jokerz. When Scab and Coe stole an experimental aircraft during his initiation, he began to doubt his dreams to be a member of the Jokerz. When the reactor became unstable, he knocked out Scab and shut down the reactor. Lee then left the Jokerz afterwards, choosing to lead a decent life. ** Terminal's Jokerz Faction - The second group of Jokerz was introduced in the episode "Hidden Agenda", shown committing more violent and arsonist acts than the first group. They have appeared throughout the series since, with the exception of Terminal. *** Carter Wilson / Terminal (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum) - A popular and genius student at Hamilton Hill High School who was obsessed with being the best at everything he did. He led the second group of Jokerz in an attempt to kill Maxine Gibson, who had scored higher on an important test than he had, and was going to be voted Class Valedictorian instead of him. Terminal's vendetta against Max and the subsequent intervention by Batman led to Max's realization of Terry's secret identity. Terminal later appears in the rebooted universe trying to revive a dying Bruce Wayne to gain access to his Keytone data network. He disguises Bruce as the Joker to gain influence and control over the Jokerz. Terminal is later killed by the real Joker, who had been aiding him in his scheme. *** Trey (voiced by Omar Gooding) - Terminal's "right-hand clown". He dropped out of school in the 6th grade to join the Jokerz. He used to be a member of J-Man's gang, but eventually joined up with Terminal's gang afterwards. *** Tayko (voiced by Cree Summer) - A member of Terminal's branch of the Jokerz who is an amazing gymnast. *** Weasel (voiced by Will Friedle) - A member of Terminal's branch. Known for his high-pitched holler, Weasel carries a flail around and has many other weapons in his jacket. He used to be a member of J-Man's branch of the Jokerz, but joined Terminal's branch later on. ** Third Jokerz Faction - The third faction of Jokerz was introduced in ''Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker'' where they worked for what appeared to be the original Joker. They later appeared in an episode of ''Justice League Unlimited'', now working for Chronos (character), Chronos and enhanced with superpowers. When Chronos was defeated, this timeline was erased. *** Bonk (voiced by Henry Rollins in ''Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker'', Adam Baldwin in ''Justice League Unlimited'') - A powerful, but surly enforcer/Strongman (strength athlete), muscleman in the Jokerz' ranks. Though amazingly strong, Bonk is not a thug who takes orders willingly (especially if it has to do with swiping what he calls "a lot of geek junk" instead of cash). He has a hair-trigger and is liable to start up with anyone who gets in his way, be it Batman or Bonk's own Jokerz allies. This is his undoing when he argues with the Joker, accusing him of being a fake. In return, the Joker murders him either with a venomous spear gun disguised as a BANG! flag gun, or with laughing gas (depending on the unedited or edited version of the film). He appears in the ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "The Once and Future Thing" equipped with a massive hammer that comes out of his arm. *** Chucko (voiced by Don Patrick Harvey, Don Harvey) - Obese with tight-fitting pink clothes and a clown mask, he is a nasty bullying type who truly enjoys inflicting misery on others. A head enforcer for the Jokerz, he is a lot stronger and faster than his flabby gut would lead one to believe. True to his sadistic nature, Chucko's face is always hidden behind his mocking clown mask (aside from the heist at Wayne Enterprises, where he was wearing a gas mask). He uses a bazooka as a weapon. An alternate-time stream version of Chucko appears in the ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "The Once and Future Thing". He appears here with a hovering ball instead of his normal legs and carries a Lightsaber, lightsaber-like object. The ball offers more maneuverability than he previously had with his legs and the saber adds extra "oomph." He betrays Chronos by tipping off the Justice League Unlimited and is sent back to the Mesozoic during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, extinction of the dinosaurs. This incident serves as a warning to the other members of the Jokerz. *** Dee Dee (both voiced by Melissa Joan Hart) - The identical twin granddaughters of Harley Quinn and an unnamed individual. Delia and Deidre Dennis (often referred to by the collective name "Dee Dee" or simply, "the Deeds") are cute, charming, funny, and completely rotten to the core. They love the thrill of being part of the Jokerz and think it is a large charge to be working for the big man himself, the Joker. They use an acrobatics-based fighting style very similar to Harley's. They fight in unison, acting almost like one person controlling two bodies, even finishing each other's sentences. They are imprisoned at the end of ''Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker'', but bailed out by their grandmother, the former Harley Quinn, whom they refer to as "Nana Harley." They appear in the ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "The Once and Future Thing" with the power to multiply themselves upon impact. They also carry an energy whip, which electrocutes the victim on contact. This whip is what led to Terry and Kai-Ro's alternate deaths until this timeline was erased. *** Ghoul (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum impersonating Christopher Walken) - He wears ragged clothing and has grey skin, numerous stitching/scar marks and skull-like features; possibly he genetically altered his appearance to make himself look undead. His appearance vaguely mimics that of previous Batman nemesis the Scarecrow (DC Comics), Scarecrow. A jaded young runaway from a wealthy home, Ghoul joined up with the Jokerz for kicks. He is heavily into techno-goth music and has adapted the horror look into his costume. Ghoul is never without his plastic Halloween pumpkin, which he keeps filled with a number of monster-inspired weapons and tricks. Ghoul eventually returned in the ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "The Once and Future Thing". He is now armed with a spinning blade in his right arm, which he can deploy or retract at will. *** Woof (vocal effects provided by Frank Welker in ''Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker'', Dee Bradley Baker in ''Justice League Unlimited'') - A Jokerz thug spliced with a spotted hyena. Though he sometimes appears to be nothing more than the Jokerz' comical mascot, Woof's crushing jaws and razor-like claws make him a deadly adversary. He also appears in the ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "The Once and Future Thing", being armed with cybernetic arms able to gouge materials as hard as concrete and steel. * (voiced by Shannon Kenny) - A freelance criminal who gained shapeshifting abilities from a mutagenic treatment, being able to become black, ink-like liquid. She is shown to be vulnerable to immersion in water (which can disperse her substance and hampers her ability to re-form) and freezing temperatures, the latter of which is how she is kept imprisoned after being apprehended. In the ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "Epilogue", Inque appeared as a member of the Iniquity Collective where they fought the Justice League Unlimited. She is based on Clayface. She has a daughter named Deanna Clay (voiced by Azura Skye) from whom she is estranged. * (voiced by Scott McAfee) - A nerd at Hamilton Hill High who was constantly picked on by bullies at school, has unrequited feelings for Bobbi, and forced to deal with his overbearing father at home. Seeking revenge, he stole a mentally-controlled robot called the GoLeM (Galvanized Lifting Machine) from his father's construction company and used it to attack his tormentors, but the machine was destroyed by Batman and he was sent to juvenile detention for three years. However, his experience with the GoLeM caused him to develop powerful psychokinetic abilities, which he uses to bring terror to his fellow detainees and secretly leave and return to the facility at will. He attempted revenge on his schoolmates again by using his powers to convince everyone the school was haunted. Despite having been defeated by Batman once more, Willie's powers remain active. He is also somewhat friendly to Terry McGinnis since he was not one of his tormentors; not knowing that Terry and his enemy, Batman, are the same person. * Mr. Freeze, Victor Fries / Mr. Freeze (voiced by Michael Ansara) - The tragic villain lives on as nothing but an immortal head preserved by Derek Powers. He was used as a test subject in an attempt to clone a new body for Powers. Mr. Freeze's baseline DNA was used to create a new body where his mind was transferred into it. In his new body, Victor Fries started to make a lot of amends. However, Freeze's new body begins to suffer the same symptoms as his previous body like wanting to exist in cold temperatures. After Powers' scientist Dr. Stephanie Lake tries to eliminate Freeze to study the problem, he obtains a new advanced suit that was kept in "cold storage" and planned revenge where he froze Dr. Lake to death leading to a final battle with Derek Powers' alter ego Blight and Batman as well. Driven past the breaking point by losing his life a second time while having been badly injured by Blight, Freeze finally commits suicide by overloading a reactor and sealing off the building despite Batman trying to help him and having blasted Blight out of the compound. Mr. Freeze died in the ensuing explosion. * - A group of scientists tragically transformed into superpowered beings during an apparent lab accident. At first, they tried to use their powers for the benefit of society, but their conditions slowly drove them into insanity. When they discovered that their mutations were irreversible and the accident had been set up by one of their co-workers Dr. Hodges, they set out to get revenge. In the attempt, they were defeated by Batman, who trapped the 2-D Man and Freon in a ventilation system and used a water hose on Magma.

In the rebooted universe, Doctor Hodges resurrects Freon at the cost of his life. Freon attempts to get revenge on Gotham by turning the city's defense system against itself, but she is stopped by Batman, Shriek, and Hacker. ** Stewart Lowe / the 2-D Man (voiced by Jeff Bennett) - A flat individual with stretching capabilities. * Walter Shreeve / (voiced by Chris Mulkey) - Walter Shreeve is initially a sound engineer hoping to improve society with his inventions. He is led down a decidedly darker path by Derek Powers, who wants a return on his investment in Shreeve's research. He thus dubs him "Shriek" by Derek Powers, based on his special suit which allows him to generate destructive sound waves and manipulate sound in a wide variety of ways. During a fight with Batman, his suit is damaged, causing it to pick up sounds at such a high volume that Shreeve is rendered permanently Deafness, deaf. Though he develops a special headset to hear normally, the incident drives him insane and vengeful against Batman, returning several times using his technology to seek revenge against him. Shriek later makes a cameo appearance in the ''Justice League Unlimited'' episode "Epilogue" as a member of the Iniquity Collective where they were defeated by the Justice League Unlimited. ** Ollie (voiced by Michael Rosenbaum) - A splicer of indeterminate species who serves as Shriek's henchman and main ally in his crusade against Batman. Ollie is addicted to “the fork”, a tuning fork-like device invented by Shriek that stimulates the pleasure centers of the brain. In the rebooted universe, Shriek escapes prison after Brother Eye's The New 52: Futures End, world conquest and becomes the self-appointed protector of the people that still live in the tunnels. * Charlie "" Bigelow (voiced by Stephen Baldwin in the first appearance, Clancy Brown in the second appearance) - A loudmouth hoodlum and a former friend of Terry McGinnis. Three years prior to Terry becoming Batman, Charlie and Terry were arrested for burglary. Charlie was old enough to be tried as an adult and was sentenced to three years in prison. Terry avoided prison because he was underage at the time and that Terry's early life of petty crime was largely the result of Charlie's negative influence. Charlie attempts to reconnect with Terry after he is released, but is rebuffed due to his continuing criminal behavior. Charlie later becomes involved with a gang of thieves-for-hire who plan to rob a Wayne-Powers research lab to steal an experimental chemical for a rival company. During the robbery, Terry (as Batman) intervenes. Charlie is exposed to the chemical during the fight and later mutates into a deformed towering super-strong being. This event which leaves Terry wracked with guilt. Big Time later returns in “Betrayal”, trying to take over the Neo-Gotham underworld and kidnapping Terry so he could join him. Big Time falls to his apparent death into the harbor during a fight with Batman at the end of the episode. * Richard "Richie" Armacost (voiced by Robert Patrick) - A top executive at the agricultural company Agri-Chem who was jailed for insider trading.

McGinnis. * Zod - Genetically engineered son of Lord Superman and Lady Wonder Woman who joins the Justice League as the youngest member and under the tutelage of his father's benevolent counterpart, Superman.References
