Terry also appeared in
Superman Adventures #64. The story has Terry/Batman traveling to the present and teaming up with
Superman against a futuristic version of
Brainiac.
More recently, in
Superman/Batman #22 (written by
Jeph Loeb), a Batman wearing the
Beyond costume appears, making his first foray into the regular
DC Comics continuity. The plot involves
Bizarro being transported to an alternate version of
Gotham City. It would appear from #23 that this Batman is someone named "Tim" (presumably
Tim Drake). However, the writers admitted to the mistake of misnaming the character,[
citation needed] and although the name was rumored to be changed to "Terry" in the trade paperback, it still reads "Tim" (see first page of "Smoke and Mirrors" chapter in the trade paperback). Furthermore, the packaging for the action figure created by DC Direct based on this appearance in Superman/Batman also erroneously identifies Batman Beyond as Tim Drake instead of Terry McGinnis. Another oddity is the
Batwing pictured is the version from
Batman: The Animated Series, not
Batman Beyond. Whether this is the regular
DC universe or a parallel one is still to be seen. It is possible that this may be an alternate reality as the same story has
Batzarro transported to the world of
Superman: Red Son, an
Elseworlds communist version of
Superman.
