We have to take in to account that this universe Batman is more flexible. He may be more willing to step aside and retire when he can no longer physically keep up the job. When he retires one of he protegees will take over the identity. Terry may not be created for the simple reason that the mantle of the Batman passed smoothly from one generation to the next. He is probably making sure that while he be Batman their will always be a Batman as long as one is needed.
