Key Facts

1st cameo appearance of Batman Beyond outside of the DC Animated Universe of comic books

There exists an unresolved dispute as to the identity of Batman Beyond in this issue and his next few brief appearances outside of the DCAU

In Superman/Batman #23, an alternate reality Bruce Wayne refers to Batman Beyond as Tim which could have easily been disregarded as an error if not for a toy line based on this series that included Batman Beyond with an explanation on the package that identified the figure as Tim Drake

In a transcript of the 2007 Wondercon panel (Newsarama - 3/7/2007), Dan DiDio was asked if readers will see Terry McGinnis resurface in other DC stories as he did in Superman/Batman #22 and #23. Instead of Dan DiDio correcting the question with the name Tim Drake, he affirmed the possibility of many multiverse variations of the character appearing in stories

The opening credits of the book read: a visit to the world of Batman Beyond

An alternate reality version of Batman Beyond is introduced in Superman/Batman #22 and referred to as Tim in issue #23

There is debate as to whether or not the use of the name Tim was in error but a DC Direct line of action figures based on Ed McGuinness’s designs from this series reinforce that this Batman Beyond is in fact, Tim Drake, as printed on the toy packaging
