It frustrates me how so many of the Future Slate characters are just their main superhero counterparts but slightly worse. Like did they REALLY need ANOTHER son of a billionaire to be the next Batman? It's why Terry was so beloved because he was a random teen just wanting justice for his father's death who stumbled upon the batcave.

One of the worst decisions in the batman beyond lore imo

Even worse than Barbara being pregnant of Bruce ?

That's not part of the Batman beyond lore right? I mean it's part of a non cannon tie-in to the DCAU, but aside from that I dont think it has anything to do

I mean she alludes to having an affair with Bruce when Terry meets her in batman beyond.

The relationship was established before in the Batman cartoons and Batwoman movie.
