Dick Grayson
- Alternate Self: He gets a glimpse of his alternate self in the Justice Lords universe, where he's Happily Married with Barbara and has a son.
- Badass in Distress: Gets captured by Dusk as a hostage in exchange for getting access to the Justice Lords timeline.
- Big Brother Mentor: He shows a lot of concern for Terry's well-being.
- Dating Catwoman: Literally. He's been sleeping with the Beyond-era Catwoman.
- Eyepatch of Power: His lack of depth perception has hardly affected his aim with batarangs.
- Foil: As a mentor to Terry. In contrast to the cold and demanding Bruce, Dick is considerably warmer, and advises Terry to make time for his personal life.
- Handicapped Badass: Despite having only one eye and a bullet lodged near his spine, he seems perfectly capable of going out into the field.
- Heroic Sacrifice: In the penultimate issue, he pulls a Taking You with Me on Davis Dusk to save Terry and Babs. His heart stops temporarily, but he wakes back up and survives the encounter.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite his gruff exterior, he's surprisingly friendly to most people, other than Bruce.
- Knight in Sour Armor: He's a bitter old man, but he quickly throws himself back into the crimefighting business upon meeting Terry.
- Made of Iron: Already an old man with a bullet near his spine, he gets a lethal shock that stops his heart...and survives, with little repercussion.
- Older Than They Look: Would be in his mid-late sixties by this point, but looks more like he's in his late fifties. He's probably aged the best out of the Batfamily.
- Rage Against the Mentor: Happened a long time ago, with Bruce. Dick is still bitter towards him.
- Working with the Ex: With Commissioner Gordon, although it's been a good 50 years since they last spoke. note
The Joker King
Spoiler Alias: Douglas Tan
- Ax-Crazy: Just like his idol. The main highlights of him lacking sanity are trying to organize a mass suicide bombing and also slaughter his family For the Evulz.
- Aloof Big Brother: Bordering on The Sociopath, until it's discovered there's a very good reason why he's so quiet.
- Arc Villain: He is the central villain for the Batman Beyond 2.0 arc "10,000 Jokers".
- Ascended Fanboy: He always wanted to be Joker, so now he's become a leader of the Jokerz who manages to unite every faction of the gang for a devastating plot against Gotham.
- The Bad Guy Wins: Subverted. He wanted to destroy Gotham and kill his family as well as Batman. He only mostly won. Yes Gotham is in tatters but his family is alive albeit traumatized, and Terry of course survives their final scuffle.
- Big Brother Bully: His obsession with The Joker started young, but he didn't just torment Dana - he tormented everyone. In the present day, he's brusque to the point of harsh to Dana.
- Black Sheep: He is alienated from his family because of his obsession with the Joker.
- Bomb Throwing Anarchist: What he drugs the Jokerz to do. Suicidally.
- Cain and Abel: Zigzagged. He wanted to kill his dad first. However, Dana demanded him to kill her first. Doug puts the gun down and asks if she is serious. He puts the gun back up because he was just checking if she really meant it.
- Dark Messiah: How he sees himself. He brings the scattered Jokerz together with the express purpose of murdering as many people as possible, and his charisma gets them ready to sacrifice themselves to do so. Charisma and a lot of mind control serum secretly sprayed from the trees.
- Falsely Reformed Villain: Douglas was sent away to Juvie, and later prison in hopes of rehabilitating him. Instead, he came back with a greater vision - unifying The Jokerz under one, psychotic banner.
- For the Evulz: That's how the Joker rolls, so
- Hell-Bent for Leather: In a stark contrast with the first Joker, The Joker King's outfit consists of a leather jacket and matching pants, a shredded shirt, and...creative use of facepaint.
- Which means this phrase is appropriate! "When I wore that outfit, it was classy; more Maitre D' than Motorcycle Fetish!"
- Insane Equals Violent: He was always violent. It just got worse after he returned from jail.
- Irony: Bruce Wayne was dying and needed a liver transplant. Joker King died and thus didn't need his liver anymore. Bruce even lampshades that the real Joker would have found this hilarious.
- Orcus on His Throne: Spends most of Joker Night out of the action but with a good front row seat for the carnage the Jokerz pull off in his name. He only steps into action to kill his family near the end.
- Pater Familicide: Inverted. He's the son and he wants to wipe out his entire family.
- Pay Evil unto Evil: Before he faces Batman, he kills his cellmate. No one sheds a tear since he was just a follower who never showed any redeeming traits.
- The Sociopath: Every single horrific act he does is For the Evulz, especially coupled with his Ax-Crazy plan.
- Straw Nihilist: Has a serious obsession with the original Joker but believes that he didn't go far enough, using Nihilism as a means to an end instead of just For the Evulz.
- Would Hit a Girl: When he heads to Gotham General to murder his father, Dana steps in front of his gun. After a half-hearted attempt to get her to move, he simply shrugs and moves to shoot her too.
Vigilante
Spoiler Alias: Jake Chill
- The Alcoholic: Was this until he became the Vigilante.
- The Atoner: After recovering from his My God, What Have I Done? moment, which was murdering Terry's father.
- Berserker Tears: At his lowest point just before he curb-stomps the burglars in his apartment."You want to take everything I have?! You want to give me a beat-down?! Well, bring it on, slapheads, cause I CAN'T sink any longer!"
- Canon Character All Along: He's one of the guys in Powered Armor flanking Mr Fixx in the pilot episode. Specifically, the one who actually killed Warren McGinnis.
- Dying as Yourself: Apologizes to Batman for any problems he's caused while under the Joker toxin's influence, indicating he managed to fight off its effects in his dying breath.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Justified. That's what he told the news squad to call him.
- Generation Xerox: His surname is Chill and he murdered Terry's father. He is Joe Chill's great-grandnephew.
- Heroic Resolve: What pulls him out of his Villainous BSoD and alcoholism.
- Let's You and Him Fight: In his first costumed appearance, he gets into a brief tussle with Batman because the latter thought Jake was responsible for the explosion. However, they managed to work it out.
- Killed Off for Real: He gets dosed with Joker Toxin so strong it stops his heart and kills him.
- One-Steve Limit: This Vigilante has no relation with the Justice League member or any of the other characters with the same name.
- Powered Armor: Just like Batman, without the bat motif.
- Punch-Clock Villain: He grows out of it after crossing one too many lines as this.
- Secular Hero: When narrating his backstory, he mentions that he's not religious.
- Villainous BSoD: After he gets fired by Bruce. He just lets go until he sees Batman and gets his Heroic Resolve to become The Atoner.
- Slasher Smile: Holee shit, is it effective. Perhaps it's one reason why he wears his helmet.
- Start of Darkness: Being part of the Quiet Squad does that to you, especially when you're working for a man named Powers.
T
Terry's counterpart in the Justice Lords timeline.
- In Spite of a Nail: He winds up becoming the Batman Beyond of the Justice Lords universe (under the tutelage of Dick Grayson and Terry from the main universe himself) not unlike his counterpart.
The Flash (Danica Williams)

Catwoman (??? Black)

- Me's a Crowd: Can split up into 9 identical copies.
Batgirl (Nissa)
- Action Girl: Nissa is a teen crimefighter who inherited the mantle of Batgirl.
- Affirmative-Action Legacy: A POC to take up the Batgirl mantle from the red-haired fair-skinned Barbara.
- Animal-Themed Superbeing: Like the rest of the characters on this page she's a bat themed hero.
- Badass Cape: The way Nissa's cape attaches via an armored Bat symbol which doubles as pauldrons is inescapably cool.
- Contrasting Sequel Main Character: She became Batgirl because she became frustrated with the police's inability to keep the less fortunate safe from crime, contrasting with the fact that Barbara was the daughter of the city's own police commissioner.
- Distaff Counterpart: Nissa's teenage Batgirl is the female counterpart to Terry's teenage Batman.
- Identity Impersonator: Barbara accuses her of such but Nissa doesn't feel like shes infringing on anyone's identity since no one has used Batgirl for a long time.
- Kid Hero: Nissa is still in high school when she begins her independent quest to become a Gotham hero.
- Legacy Character: It's been a long time since there was a Batgirl on Nissa's earth by the time she decided to use the moniker, as Barbara Gordon had been her only predecessor and Babs is now the white haired Gotham Police Commissioner.

- Wake Up, Go to School & Save the World: Nissa is a high school student who dons her Batgirl costume and fights criminals after school.

A mysterious heroine that temporarily replaces Batman after Terry is afflicted with amnesia.
- Connected All Along: She turns out to be Dick's daughter.

- To the original Batwoman (or Batwomen, if you want to be technical), if only in name since they otherwise have nothing to do with each other.
