Wanted to share my McGinnis family stuff so far
Obviously the main man himself is Terry and he’s in a similar situation to Bruce if not exactly the same.
My ideal Terry is that he’s an excessive adopter like Bruce who the kids just find him and he ends up adopting them some cases they want it others they don’t (we’ll get to that)
If I was in charge of writing Terry I would change his backstory to instead of being done in secret have Warren know that was the goal for Terry to become Batman a man for the greater good if you would. And he knew that Terry had Bruce’s dna but also since this is the future I think that Terry should have Bruce, Warrens and his moms dna.
Up next is Bruce who is more in a Alfred role, personally I think he would turn into a more grandfather role and while he can’t cook as well as Alfred he would be in a position to give out life advice and really many other roles Alfred filled out.
Matt McGinnis is a great start as a Robin for Terry and while I don’t think DC is ready for him to move past it quite yet I would love to see him take on his own identity when he’s ready to get away from Terry’s shadow.
And just like Bruce in the early days he thinks it’s terrible but thanks to Bruce having gone through that he can lead Terry and Warren into a better situation than he found with Dick.
Another headcanon is that he becomes Nightrunner or some other similar name.
Carrie Kelley is the first to be adopted by Terry whether it be through time travel shenanigans and she is trapped in the future or is simply born there I think the dynamic between the two would be great
She would start off as Robin Beyond like most of Terry’s kids but would eventually grow out of it and become a daylight hero either named Greenstart or Headstart.
To me she would be more like the Duke of the McGinnis family.
The second to be adopted by Terry is Mia Mizoguchi.
She would start off as Robin Beyond as well before moving onto a new identity something like Oriole.
The third to be adopted by Terry would be Lance Bruner. In my mind he’s the youngest and is still Robin Beyond
The fourth to be adopted is Nissa, though she’s more reluctant than the others. Think of her as the sort of Red Hood of the family.
She didn’t start off as Robin Beyond instead starting at Batgirl Beyond.
Though she does eventually come to love Terry and the rest of the family I imagine it’s a long process.
Fifth to be adopted by Terry is Turner Hayes. As far as I know he’s only had one appearance in a show. So I really didn’t know what to do with him quite yet so this idea is very fresh.
In a similar sort of vain to Nissa he doesn’t start off as Robin Beyond instead starting off as Lost Son, a jack-o’-lantern themed Batman with moving eyes around his suit to distract thugs.
I have to watch Gotham Knights to further understand his character.
I’m considering Drake Winston for the family as another adopted kid of Terry but so far I haven’t made any moves yet.
Maxine Gibson if I was in charge would become Oracle Beyond a person in chair working alongside Bruce to help Terry.
But that’s what I got for now I might go in more depth on their relationships and may do a sort of justice league lineup of who I want Terry to work with.
The Wayne family is still around and shows up here and there WITH long lasting loving relationship with Bruce and ALL his kids are alive
