* LawEnforcementInc: The GTO was created by Derek Powers as a type of "Bat-Army", using Batman-level technology to bolster the already existing Gotham PD. [[RepressiveButEfficient While it's put Gotham's criminal activity to a record low]], it would later become its own independent entity and turns Gotham into a PoliceState.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In this continuity which takes inspiration from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' and the ''Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse'', Bruce does not end up entering into a romance with Barbara that causes his relationship with Dick to seriously deteriorate and the two aren't estranged from each other. Not that it stops the two from [[LetsYouAndHimFight fighting each other]] in the story...

Here though, it's Bruce's brain it was implanted in and it was ''Jack Napier'' who did the implanting, making him more of a VirtualSidekick than a JekyllAndHyde situation.

It has been 12 years since [[ComicBook/BatmanCurseOfTheWhiteKnight Azrael's defeat, Batman's secret-identity going public and the Joker's death]]. While Bruce went to prison, his business partner Derek Powers took control of Wayne Enterprises and uses Batman's technology and image to create his own personal military which he uses to subjugate Gotham.
The Bat-family is now separated, and when Bruce learns of all the damage Powers has done using his legacy -- both as Bruce Wayne and as Batman -- he escapes from prison and finds himself in a more technologically advanced, yet very corrupt Neo-Gotham. Then the last person he ever thought he would see again suddenly appears with the intent of helping him: Jack Napier.
''Batman: Beyond the White Knight'' is the third installment of ''ComicBook/BatmanWhiteKnight'', published in 2022-2023 under Creator/DCBlackLabel. Written and illustrated by Sean Murphy, ''Beyond the White Knight'' acts as both a sequel to ''ComicBook/BatmanCurseOfTheWhiteKnight'' and a comic book adaptation of ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond''.

!!''Batman: Beyond the White Knight'' contains examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass: In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', Bruce Wayne had to retire due to a heart-condition brought about by his old age, hence why he needs Terry [=McGinnis=] to take on the role of Batman while he acts as MissionControl. Here, Bruce is still as strong and capable as ever, having kept in shape during his time in prison. The only debilitating condition he has here is extreme anxiety from his repressed trauma manifesting as panic attacks that would overwhelm him a few times.
* AllForNothing: As Bruce discovers to his horror, his HeroicSacrifice in ''[[ComicBook/BatmanCurseOfTheWhiteKnight Curse of the White Knight]]'' was rendered meaningless thanks to Derek's meddling. Bruce intended to dissolve Wayne Enterprises into various nonprofit organizations, only for Derek to put a stop to it as its new CEO and used Wayne Charity Funds to fund the GTO as his own personal army.
* AwfulWeddedLife: Downplayed in the case of Dick and Barbara. While Barbara became Commissioner of the Gotham PD, Dick became commissioner of the GTO, their differing methods leading to their marriage devolving into an ideological schism. Eventually Dick sees just how corrupt Powers really is and that he was more acting out against his repressed resentment against Bruce and they make-up in the end.
* ChekhovsSkill: Jackie learned to the truth about her father by using her computer skills to hack into GTO's files.
* DigitizedHacker: The Jack Napier AI in Bruce's head can connect wirelessly with anything around him, allowing him to take control of any device.
* EvilMentor: Derek Powers convinces Terry [=McGinnis=] that Bruce orchestrated his father's murder and tries conditioning him into becoming Batman with the Beyond Suit. He tries encouraging him to act more ruthlessly, and later takes remote control of the suit when Terry learns the truth, even trying to goad him into {{Mercy Kill}}ing him after his mutation into Blight.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: PlayedForDrama. Everyone knows that Bryce and Jackie Quinzel are the children of [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker The Joker]]. While Bryce passes off as normal, Jackie suffers from a lot of angst over it, presuming that she's expected to be "more like Joker", a problem only compounded by bullies at school rubbing it in her face.
* MarriageOfConvenience: Harley married Bruce during his incarceration so that she would legally be allowed not to testify against him. While they do have feelings for each other, Bruce points out that what they have isn't genuine and is more like two desperate loners in need of companionship.
* MythologyGag: The idea that the Joker implants a chip into a member of the Bat-Family's brain so that he could live on in AI-form is ripped straight from ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'', where the Joker's return is through a chip planted into Jason during his ColdBloodedTorture.

[[RepressiveButEfficient While it's put Gotham's criminal activity to a record low]], it would later become its own independent entity and turns Gotham into a PoliceState.
* SecretKeeper: Derek Powers figured out that Bruce Wayne was Batman long before he publicly revealed himself.
* SequelHook: After the Bat-Family make-up and undo Derek Power's criminal enterprise, [[spoiler: FBI Agents [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Diana Prince]] and [[ComicBook/GreenLantern John Stewart]] arrive and offers them a job preparing for an alien invasion. Their target? ComicBook/{{Superman}}.]]
* TraumaButton: Having lots of repressed trauma, Bruce starts having panic-attacks as soon as he escapes Blackgate, particularly in regards to his identity as Batman, whom he has rebuked since he had turned himself in.
* UnskilledButStrong: While Terry knows how to fight, he's really just a punk kid compared to the rest of the Bat-family. With the suit however, he's their biggest heavy-hitter, nearly maiming a group of armed men with the SuperStrength it gives him when he first puts it on.
* VirtualGhost: Jack Napier manifests through a copy of his mind in a microchip he planted into Bruce's mind while he was alive, manifesting as a hallucination of himself talking to him. When he manages to hack into the Beyond suit, he manages to use its holographic projectors to communicate with everyone else.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The whole reason why Derek Powers created the GTO -- with plans of expanding it world wide -- was because [[spoiler: he had learned of the existence of superpowered aliens like Superman and was trying to prepare Earth for an invasion]].
