Sadly we lost a Batman today

Kevin Conroy. My second favorite Batman actor. Lost his battle with cancer. Damned shame. Fucking cancer.

Let's reminisce over the guy and his career. Maybe post up your Batman art too.

I am so so heartbroken. Kevin Conroy didn’t just play a superhero, he was a real life super hero in a lot of ways. He always seemed so warm and kind in interviews and conventions, and not just in a “hollywood” sort of way but in a real, gentle kindness and genuine warmth. He was a gay man in an industry that still to this day can be harsh to lgbt figures. His voice truly brought batman to life in so many projects and he is one of those talents that is truly irreplaceable. I am going to miss him so much and may he rest in piece.

I grew up watching reruns of the Adam West Batman, thrived on Olan Soule playing the part during Superfriends, loved Batman 1989 with Michael Keaton (still the best live action Bruce Wayne and Batman for my money), and watched all of the other movies, TV shows and game adaptations.

With all of that in mind, my judgement is that Kevin Conroy is the voice of Batman. At least 2, maybe 3 generations of people have been raised listening to him give the best vocal performance of the character ever. I can't imagine anyone ever topping it.

It's sad to see him go, but the mark he left will never be erased. The voice role of Batman will never be the same.
