What Year Was Terry McGinnis Born?

[Christopher Glennon]

I almost titled this "Anyone else feel weird that Terry was born this year?" but I can't actually confirm that he was born in 2023. I'm seeing either 2023 or 2024 as best guesses, but has anything been confirmed or is official?

I like to think he was born in 2023. For those of you that watched the CW Flash show,

Spoiler

Nora Allen was born in 2023, so it's fun thinking she and Terry were born within months of each other.

Thoughts on Terry's birth and how we're closer to the time of Batman Beyond than when the show was on the air in general?

As Bruce Timm would say, whenever 50 years from now is.

No official birth date was ever given.

There was a wikipedia edit war in the 2000s but no source was ever given for either disputed date, June 27, 2023 and August 18, 2023.

If you believe the 2039 date, then yes around 2023/2024.

If you believe Timm's 50 years from the current present event stance, around 2037/2038.

We know Terry is 16 when the events of Batman Beyond begin. Over a year passes through the series - there are touchstones here and there like Golem was during a spring dance, "Disappearing Inque" Terry mentions it took 6 months to get a tour of the Batcave, results from standardized tests in "Hidden Agenda", "Plague" being at the end of spring break, Epilogue being 15 years later etc.

This reminds me of the theory George Jetson was born last year.

Since Batman Beyond is forever 50 years from now, and he was sixteen when the show started, I'd say that Terry McGinnis would be born in 2057. Next year, of course, it will be 2058.

Ah, looks like that's the best we've ever gotten. Thanks!
