The return
A gang of Jokerz launch a raid on Gotham Shipping to steal a large piece of electronic technology with three forklifts. The robbery is interrupted by the arrival of Batman. A fight ensues, which turns into a pursuit in the skies of Gotham City. One of the forklifts the Jokerz are using to carry away the equipment, piloted by Bonk, takes off to fight Batman, leaving the equipment and the other craft to crash. Batman overcomes Bonk, and his craft crashes. The equipment crashes to the ground, bu...
The final battle
Unsure of who else to turn to, Terry calls Barbara in for help. After she ministers to a shallowly breathing Bruce and Terry checks on Ace, Terry demands answers as he is a part of this conflict and therefore deserves them. Barbara reluctantly gives in and admitting that time has not made relating it any easier, tells Terry the true story: 1. About thirty-five years earlier, after the first Robin, Dick Grayson, had left to establish himself as the protector of another city, the second Robin,...
Revelation
Terry returns to the Batcave, frustrated with his inability to solve the case. As he muses aloud to Ace, Bruce appears in his bathrobe, having partially recovered from the toxin. He confesses that this is why he didn't want Terry going up against the Joker, impostor or not, fearful that something similar would happen to him as it did with Tim.

Production notes
1. A different opening title sequence was originally made by Ryan J Woodward, before being nixed. 2. This movie was produced during production on the second and third season of Batman Beyond. Bruce Timm and his crew couldn't figure out how to do this, since their production crew was already stretched thin working on the show. Storyboard artist and future Justice League Unlimited producer James Tucker was promoted to director and given Curt Geda's storyboard crew, and a few episodes were outso...
Production inconsistencies
1. Tim Drake received a slightly older character model in Static Shock and Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman, which is inconsistent with his The New Batman Adventures model in the flashback scene, which chronologically takes place after the end of Justice League Unlimited. Curiously, when Tim Drake makes a brief cameo in the Justice League episode "Hereafter" (which is the character's final appearance in production order), he is also shown in his The New Batman Adventurescharacter model. 2. Whe...
