* HeroicBastard: "Epilogue" reveals that Matt is the biological son of Bruce when Warren [=McGinnis=]'s DNA was overridden by Bruce. And while Matt may be annoying he's not a bad kid.

%%* DeathByOriginStory
* DisappearedDad: He dies before the third act of the pilot.
* GoodParents: Terry remarks on what an amazing and great father Warren was in "Epilogue".
-->'''Terry''': ''(to Bruce)'' My dad was no superhero. He didn't save the world from the near apocalypse of '09. He never went toe-to-toe with Mr. Freeze, but he was a good man just the same. Even after he and mom got divorced, he always tried to do the right thing. My brother and I were always provided for. When mom couldn't quite make the bills, he always helped out. Tried to teach me right from wrong. Would've too if I ever listened to him. And he never laid a hand on me, although Lord knows I was asking for it.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: He gets killed for learning about the mutagenic nerve gas.
* NiceGuy: Warren was often described and shown as a decent person.
* SacrificialLion: His death starts Terry's path to becoming Batman.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: As he was only around for part of the first episode and a cameo in the season two finale of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Unlimited''.

->'''Voiced by''': Ryan O'Donohue\\
'''Appearances''': ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' | ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker''

Terry's younger brother.

* AlliterativeName: Both his first and last name start with "M."
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Although understandably he is very young, and some of his antics could be seen as a coping mechanism for losing his father at a young age.
** A good example of this is one episode where, even being told that the ghost at Hill High is being destructive, he wants to have a seance. The reason? He's scared he'll forget what his father was like and wants to contact him.
* BrattyHalfPint: Not much to describe since he acts like a standard younger brother to Terry: a sweet, but annoying kid.
* ChocolateBaby: As with Terry, his and his brother's black hair makes it somewhat unlikely that their biological father could be the auburn Warren [=McGinnis=], given their mother's red hair. Fans attribute the [=McGinnis=] parents' divorce to this, in part.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Black hair and eyes.
* DemotedToExtra: Had less and less screentime as the series continued. Even the comic continuation barely used his character.
* HeroicBastard: "Epilogue" reveals that Matt is the biological son of Bruce when Warren [=McGinnis=]'s DNA was overridden by Bruce. And while Matt may be annoying he's not a bad kid.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: Matt admires Batman (a fact Terry wholeheartedly approves of), but considers Terry a boring workaholic who's hardly ever around.

->'''Voiced by''': Teri Garr\\

* SecretKeeper: [[spoiler:In the comic books he eventually gets let in on the secret, especially now that Terry has become his legal guardian and the two move in to Wayne Manor. In the ''Rebirth'' continuation Bruce even gives him the blessing of becoming Robin Beyond, in spite of Terry's protests.]]

When Peek discovers Batman's SecretIdentity and intends to expose it on the show, she's suddenly ''very'' eager to watch the show, which Terry calls her out on:
