When Batman and the Joker fought their final battle, the Joker got the upper hand and subdued him. The Joker then tried to persuade Tim to kill Batman. Instead, the boy, due to a trace of Robin still active, turned on the Joker and killed him, whether he shot him or electrocuted him, is ambiguous in the comic book, due to hasty last-minute revision and suffers a mental breakdown in the process.
Batman and Barbara buried the Joker's body deep beneath Arkham Asylum, while Harley fell into a pit after she was fighting Batgirl and was presumed dead as her body was never found. The only other person who knew about what happened that night was Barbara's father, Commissioner James Gordon, who promised to keep that night a secret.
One year after the incident, Tim was rehabilitated, but Bruce forbade him from being Robin again, blaming himself for what happened and vowing to never again endanger another young partner. Barbara retired as Batgirl to join Gotham City Police Department and in time follow her father's footsteps as police commissioner, and Tim eventually settled down with a wife and family, and a career as a communications engineer. Terry decides to question Tim, who denies any involvement and bitterly says he had grown sick of his past life as Robin.
Terry then suspects Jordan Price, who would have taken control of the company were it not for Bruce's return. Jordan Price, thinking he will become CEO, plans to hold a private party on his yacht with his girlfriend Amy.
However he finds Dee-Dee in her place, Amy having been tied to a pole and gagged at the port. Terry finds the Jokerz on Price's yacht, who reveal that Price had hired them and given them access codes. However, the Joker has sent them to kill Price, as he is no longer needed. Terry rescues Price before a satellite laser destroys the boat, and then turns him in to the police with a recording of Price's conversation with the Jokerz. Back in the Batcave, Terry deduces that Tim must be working with the Joker when he discovers that the high-tech equipment the Jokerz have been stealing can be combined to form a machine that takes control of any satellite, even an orbiting military satellite with an automated defense system and fire it at will, thus explaining what happened on the yacht—and it can only be built by an engineer of Tim's caliber.
Bruce is skeptical about this claim, but nonetheless sends Terry to question Tim again. Terry tries to confront Tim, but is lured into a trap by the Joker, who confirms that he and Tim are indeed working together. Escaping in the Batmobile, he is then chased through Gotham by the laser-armed satellite.
Terry tracks the Joker to the abandoned Jolly Jack candy factory. After fighting off the Jokerz, he finds Tim, who transforms into the Joker before his eyes. The Joker explains that when he kidnapped Tim and during the three weeks of his torture, he secretly implanted a microchip revealed later to have been stolen from Project Cadmus into the boy's brain that carries the Joker's consciousness and personality, allowing him to physically and mentally transform Tim into a clone of himself at will, eventually becoming strong enough to permanently control his body.
Bruce assists Terry in the field primarily by keeping in continual contact with him from the Batcave. Maxine Max Gibson is Terry's classmate and closest friend. She is exceptionally capable when it comes to computers and electronics, Max created a program that succeeded in uncovering Batman's secret identity. After unmasking Terry, she insisted on being a part of his secret life and helped him with everything from computer hacking to babysitting to detective work.
Dana Tan is Terry's girlfriend and classmate. Although Terry flirted with several girls throughout the show, his true love has always been Dana Tan, whom he met while attending Hamilton Hill High School. Despite their commitment to each other, their relationship was strained as early on Terry struggled to balance his dual obligations.
The two verged on the possibility of breaking up multiple times. Commissioner Barbera Gordon is the former batgirl and current commissioner of Gotham. Terry upheld tradition by forging an alliance with Gotham City's Police commissioner, Barbara Gordon, former Batgirl and the daughter of Commissioner Jim Gordan, the original Batman's trusted ally.
The alliance started out a rocky one, as Barbara never failed to take Terry's juvenile record into account and believed he was too reckless for the role of Batman. Barbara was reluctant to assist the new Batman and to have a teenager as Gotham's new protector but eventually warmed up to him. Yin and Chief Angel Rojas make their final appearances in the season finale.
Season 3 introduced a young Barbara Gordon, who becomes Batgirl and plays a major role along with her father, Commissioner James Gordon. Barbara tries to be The Batman's sidekick, but he refuses to accept the need for a partner until the end of the season. This differed from the comics, in which Robin was The Batman's first sidekick; this was due to the Teen Titans ' animated series using the character, limiting his ability to appear in other shows.
Season 4 featured a redesign to Bruce Wayne, with a stronger facial and chin structure, making him reminiscent of the DCAU Batman design. Dick Grayson as Robin was also introduced into the show, as the Teen Titans animated series had been cancelled earlier in the year before this season started. Batgirl is now part of the team and found out the secret identities of both The Batman and Robin, and Lucius Fox is introduced in the season finale.
In his final appearance, Ethan Bennett, the first Clayface, is redeemed and cured of his condition. One of the highlights of Season 4 was "Artifacts", an episode describing a possible future, that had elements from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.
Set in , with the main storyline in , it features a wheelchair-using Barbara Gordon as Oracle, Dick Grayson as Nightwing, with both The Batman and the Batmobile resembling the versions in Miller's series.
The fifth and final season was said by producer Alan Burnett to be the show's "The Brave and the Bold season. Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon were dropped from the show as main characters, and only appeared rarely as guests or cameos.
In Batgirl's case, this is because she has graduated from high school and is attending college. The series finale features the entire Justice League. Villains for this particular season were a combination of villains associated with the Justice League members appearing on the show with some of the Batman villains. Also, Firefly becomes Phosphorus. The Joining returns in the finale in alliance with Hugo Strange.
The final episode was a minute movie, featuring all the members of the Justice League who have made an appearance in the show. In the show he has recently started his career as a masked vigilante.
