Cast
- Mitchell Hope as Terrence "Terry" McGennis/Batman, a 16 year old juvenile delinquent, that two years earlier, spent three months in Juvie. After his parents' divorced, Terry lives with his father, but begins a crusade, when his father is mysteriously murdered. After being saved by Bruce Wayne and helping him to his mansion, Terry found the Batcave under Wayne Manor and stole the batsuit to help find his father's murderer, but must also go up against Derek Powers, who becomes a radioactive villain, all while hiding his secret from his friends and family, and uses his new role as the Dark Knight to redeem past sins as Neo-Gotham's Dark Knight of Tomorrow.
- Clint Eastwood as Bruce Wayne, the original Batman, who after having a heart attack, almost resorted to using a gun-the ultimate sin in his eyes, to defend himself. Abhorred, Bruce retired as Batman, and hung up his cape and cowl. In 2039 Neo-Gotham, an elderly Bruce Wayne fights for his Company, as Derek Powers plans to take over WaynePowers to construct bio-weapons. After Terry stole the batsuit, Bruce reluctantly let him keep it and became Terry's mentor to help him find Terry's father's murderer and to defeat Blight. In the end, Bruce showed up at Terry's house and offered him a job as his assistant.
- Hugo Weaving as Derek Powers/Blight, the devious CEO of WaynePowers, who plans on running Bruce Wayne, from the Company for good in order to create bio-weapons, but after a run in with Batman, Powers becomes infected with multiple canisters of neurotoxin, turning him into a radioactive being, that can generate intense beams of radiation.
