I don't know...Alfred's one that they messed around with when it would be convenient.
He was also dead for a while back in the sixties.

Oh right. And he was also a villain for a while after that, wasn't he?

I downloaded the first 2 seasons of Batman Beyond (I'm 4 episodes into season 2) and have noticed one thing about the show. While Batman never kills anyone directly, a very high number of the villains on the show seem to fall prey to explosions, collapsing buildings and plummeting vehicles, usually immediately after Batman has escaped those locations. It's an odd break from the original B:tAS where Batman goes out of his way to try and avoid even incidental deaths. (Granted Terry and Bruce are two different people, but it seems odd that Terry is more of the one to just shrug and say "Whoops" while the big bad of the episode goes up in a giant fireball.)
Terry's also a big whiner, with too much unwarranted angst, and who (IMO) was never quite of the caliber necessary to wear the cowl.
I think Bruce accepted him because it was all he had to work with.
(And I say this as someone who watched pretty much the entire series first run, and liked it.... I've just always wanted to smack McGuinness upside the head, for shits and giggles.)
