Suspecting foul play at his father's company, Wayne/Powers Corporation, Terry meets Bruce Wayne and learns of a secret identity hidden for decades. Now too old to don the cape and cowl as Batman,Wayne refuses to help – so Terry does what any brash young kid would do: steal the Bat-suit and take matters into his own hands!
