Every time I put on that suit, it’s my chance to help people who are in trouble. I guess on a personal level, it’s my chance to look like a worthwhile human being again. In my eyes… no one else’s. It’s what I want, Bruce.
Mr. Fix: You’re pretty strong for some clown who thinks he’s Batman. Batman: I AM Batman!
Look, you may be used to dealing with freaks and monsters, but I'm a little new at this.
An aging Bruce Wayne, despite being in his 50s, continues to fight crime as Batman in a new high-tech Batsuit, although he has increased difficulty in handling criminals he could once subdue with finesse and they are no longer afraid of him as he has lost his mystique.

Melanie was initiated into her life of crime at an early age; because her family was "uproot[ed] every few weeks", her social life suffered, and she never had a chance to make permanent friends. She eventually grew weary of her lifestyle, becoming the only malcontent member of the gang. Ten played a vital role in the team, as she was in charge of overriding the security systems of the places they robbed. However, she was notably less ruthless than her father.

Melanie Walker : I need a place to stay 'til it's dark. That's all I'm asking for. Terry McGinnis : Let me guess. Cops after you? Melanie Walker : Among others. Including Batman. But even he would never think of looking for me here. Terry McGinnis : No. I guess he wouldn't. But there are laws against harboring criminals, and I'm... Melanie Walker : I'm not a criminal. Not anymore. Terry McGinnis : Then why's everybody after you? Melanie Walker : Because I was forced to rob a big poker game by the Jokerz. They're holding my family.

Mary McGinnis is the loving mother of her two sons Terry and Matt. She used to be very soft with Terry but after his run-ins with the law and his father's death, she resolved to be more firm and strict with him. It takes all of the energy in the world for her to balance raising her two sons with her highly stressful job, and Terry's frequent absences because of his job with Bruce Wayne certainly don't help things for her. While she doesn't realize that her son Terry leads a double life as the vigilante Batman, but she is definitely starting to suspect that there may be something unusual about the nature of his job. Regardless of all his flaws, Mary McGinnis is very proud of her son, especially in light of all of the new responsibilities that he has begun to shoulder.
