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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

He came back wrong.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
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.)

I don't know. I mean, he's 17 and just lost his dad. There's going to be some angst issues and some whining about the lack of a social life. I'd have been disappointed if he was just mini-Bruce. And really his whining is nothing compared to, say, Dawn.
And Bruce is a pretty capable guy. Once he realized he could handle someone else wearing the cowl, I'm sure he could have easily found someone other than Terry to wear it if he wanted to.
That said, Terry's griping rights are kind of limited since he chose to keep being Batman. Bruce was hardly forcing him. But I seem to recall (I've seen scattered episodes here and there, just not the whole run in order) he eventually cuts back on the whining.
