His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- Although he used to be a thief who has a habit of stealing, he feels great remorse for this, and redeems himself once he becomes Batman, completely shedding this quality.
- Prior to becoming Batman, he defends a lady from being robbed by a Jokerz gang member, implying that even before becoming Batman he committed various heroic deeds.
- Despite getting into an argument with his father, he still deeply cared for him, as he has a breakdown when he finds out he was murdered, expressing remorse for the last words he said to him and wishing he could have stayed with him to defend him from his murderers.
- Despite constantly having to abandon his girlfriend, Dana Tan and frequently ending up late for planned events with her because of his duties as Batman, Terry tries to keep their relationship steady since he genuinely cares about her, and always expresses displeasure at having to abandon her for his duties.
- Although he has murdered some of the villains he fought, he only does this out of self-defense, and for the most part, tries to save the villains he fights.
- He protected Neo-Gotham from various villains and defeated them.
- He helped defend Bruce Wayne against the gang the Jokerz, when they threatened him.
- He helped Bruce back to his mansion and gave him his medication when he desperately needed it.
- He became the new Batman, and Bruce's successor, out of a genuine desire to help protect Gotham.
- Defeats Derek Powers' right-hand man, Mr. Fixx, avenging his father, who was murdered by him.
- Unlike Bruce, who had severe doubts, he was willing to give Freeze a chance to redeem himself and tried to save his life when he was about to die from falling debris. Freeze tells Terry in response that he's the only person (besides Nora) who has truly shown him compassion his whole life.
- Despite his hatred for Derek Powers, and seeking vengeance against him when he goes after Powers, he only wanted to bring him to justice, and never intended to murder him, as shown by his horrified reaction when Paxton Powers tries to murder his father, Derek, by trapping him in a radiation sucking net.
- He defended Gotham's district attorney, Sam Young, from an assassin named Curare when she tried to murder him.
- He took down a gang of spliced thugs and their leader.
- He took down a corrupt rehabilitation facility and its leader, David Wheeler, who was using the facility to psychologically torture teenagers, and potentially put them through fates worse than death.

What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- He can be insulting to his foes, such as insulting the Joker for not being funny, though this is justified since the Joker did many horrible things, and did it pragmatically to defeat him, so this is simply a minor prevention.
- He stole Bruce's Batsuit to get revenge on Mr. Fixx, the man who killed his father. However, when he finds out Terry's father was killed, and is using the suit to go after his killer, he allows Terry to continue using the suit, so this is a minor prevention.
- He can be a bit arrogant and jerkish sometimes. He also has a sour relationship with his brother Matt, though the two are capable of getting along sometimes.
