Batman has been played by a slew of talents, but one of the most iconic versions was played by Kevin Conroy, for over two decades. However, the actor sadly passed away in 2022, leaving behind big shoes to fill when it came to his portrayal of Batman. The actor had already shaped an iconic interpretation of the Dark Knight.

Given that this actor has played Batman in multiple films, most notably in the critically acclaimed and well-received Batman: Under the Red Hood, he might be the perfect choice for the role of Batman.

The final film in the Dcamu, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War brought together many classic characters from the DC roster into the forefront to battle Darkseid. The film series which began with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox saw many characters that were not usually explored in the mainstream such as Constantine, Raven, and more.
One such character was Etrigan the Demon, who joined the Justice League in their battle against Darkseid. Etrigan the Demon is known for his magical powers and his bond with the immortal knight Jason Blood. The Demon is also known for his penchant for rhyming while speaking, which was done away with Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. Spoilers ahead.

Kevin Conroy’s voice has forever been imbued into that of Batman’s. One’s name cannot exist without the other. It is that both their legacies coexist in a way that becomes inseparable. With his final act only moments away from being released, there is a lot of anticipation, hope, and sheer love for the late actor.

WB Animation’s films and shows have always been streets ahead of DC’s live-action offerings. The studio is known for creating shows such as Batman: The Animated Series and Justice League, as well as films such as The Dark Knight Returns and others. The studio’s latest offering Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths will be wrapping up the Tomorrowverse.
The studio has gone through several franchises such as the Timmverse, Dcamu, and the latest Tomorrowverse. However, one of the most beloved franchises that explored many characters in the DC roster was the Dcamu which ended with Justice League Dark: Apokalips War. One of the reasons why the latter is beloved by fans is due to the ‘no limitations’ rule that the studio had which gave freedom to the writers to hold no bars. Spoilers ahead.

Even in the face of exciting and thrilling superhero games, Batman: Arkham trilogy games are still considered to be one of the greatest. The primary reason for the trilogy’s popularity goes to the exceptional gameplay mechanics, immersive storytelling, and faithful adaptation of the comics, captivating both casual gamers and the ardent Dark Knight fans.

With a superior combat system neatly integrated with innovative stealth gameplay, the game features some of the most iconic locations and a plethora of gadgets to take down the thugs and the supervillains. However, the trilogy also features a rich narrative that focuses on every minute detail. Needless to say, gamers enjoyed every minute of playing the trilogy.

It’s been a phase to forget for superhero movies across the board. DC Extended Universe could not sustain itself, drawing the franchise to an early end. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is going through a lean patch that they don’t have any idea how to deal with.
Some call it superhero fatigue, some lousy writing. The real answer might be a cocktail of both extremes. But in this dry run for superhero flicks, the aficionados of the genre have something to be elated about – the Dark Knight universe might be set to make a comeback.

Crisis On Infinite Earths - Part Three Teaser Features Kevin Conroy's Batman And Mark Hamill's Joker
When we first learned that Warner Bros. Animation was developing a three-part Crisis on Infinite Earths movie, the response from fans was largely positive.
While the Tomorrowverse has been a little hit-or-miss, it's also delivered a lot of very good movies. Needless to say, the prospect of mixing DC characters from that world with so many other animated franchises was undeniably exciting.
Unfortunately, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One and Part Two proved to be mostly underwhelming affairs, with the only noteworthy cameo being Terry McGinnis/Batman Beyond in the second instalment. As exciting as that may sound, he had no more than a couple of lines in the movie and failed to make much of an impact.
There may, however, be a chance the final instalment redeems itself.

Anyone who knows anything about the DC’s Dark Knight will probably tell you that Batman is more authentic to the personality of the character than Bruce Wayne. While they might appear to be one and the same person, Batman has repeatedly said that Bruce Wayne is the performance he puts up for society, while Batman is the persona that he identifies with as his authentic self.
Batman: The Animated Series
To play Batman, actors must understand this fundamental aspect of the character. Be it in live-action or in animation, actors who are able to discern this end up playing the character to perfection, as was the case with Kevin Conroy, who has essayed the role of the Dark Knight for more than two decades across mediums.

There is a great beauty to what Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part 3 is doing—two voice actors who spend a huge part of their careers working together as one of the most iconic duos of all time; The Batman and The Joker. Collaborating for the final time, they get to perform, even though one of them has already passed on.

Let’s travel back to 2008 when the summer hit its fever pitch of the long-awaited Christopher Nolan superhero epic, The Dark Knight. I could remember it like it was yesterday when I was a sophomore in college reading up on all the production coverage I could find and rewatching those amazing trailers, following that online campaign and viral marketing, which was way ahead of its time. My presale tickets were bought; I was amped beyond words for what I was about to witness. I think it was the longest wait in a theatre line as well, clocking in three hours before seating on opening night at my local IMAX. Because, at that time, seats weren’t reserved, and it was a battle royale trying to get that coveted middle-row seat. Picture “Running of the Bulls” in Spain, but with people trying to get that damn middle row. Boy, how far...

Batman is a versatile character. He has worn the faces of saviors and destroyers, been the Dark Knight in caped armor, the financial support of the Justice League, and occasionally, even a father figure. Despite this, there is one thing that has stayed constant through most of his versions; the bat does not kill.
Batman: The Animated Series starred Kevin Conroy
Kevin Conroy, who played the character for almost three decades, understood this fact about the character perfectly. He maintained a sort of consistency throughout all of the versions he played, and it seemed to be quite intentional. Specifically talking about the ‘no killing’ rule, it would seem that the voice actor upheld it almost as strictly as the Caped Crusader himself.
So much so, that he was upset with one of the most controversial decisions taken in the Snyderverse; Ben Affleck’s Batman killing people.

Warner Bros. Animation has produced multiple animated shows with their most popular character Batman as the protagonist. Bruce Timm’s Batman: The Animated Series was one of the defining shows based on the character that has a long-lasting legacy. The show starred Kevin Conroy as the Caped Crusader and was the beginning of the Dcau.
From 2004 to 2008, The Batman animated series aired as another show centered around Bruce Wayne’s exploits as Batman. The show was not part of th Timmverse and had to distinguish itself from the legendary shows of the Dcau. One way in which the producers of the show made it happen was by making Wayne’s diet include snacks and other relatable food that anyone would eat while in a hurry.

Whenever it comes to the Dcau, fans often look back to Bruce Timm’s masterful work on Batman: The Animated Series, which by many is still considered the peak of the caped crusader. However, the Dcau isn’t just limited to Btas, as there have been several different interpretations of the iconic character in the realm of animation, with one of them being The Batman.
Not to be confused with Matt Reeves’ The Batman, The Batman Animated Series was a fun reimagining of Batman and its coterie of supervillains, which scored well critically throughout its run. One thing that fans found odd about the show was the introduction of Batgirl as Bruce’s first sidekick, but the writers can’t be blamed for this decision.

But while most of them are great in their own right, nobody quite embodied the spirit of the caped crusader like the late Kevin Conroy, who is still considered by many to be the definitive version of Batman.
However, Conroy wasn’t the initial choice to voice the character, and even when he was considered for the part, the actor was interested in voicing other characters, which ended up frustrating Andrea Romano.

Shows such as Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, and Teen Titans have been classics in the animated TV realm for a generation while the films have constantly been well-received.
While Marvel achieved many milestones through their live-action MCU, they seem to be way behind their DC counterparts.

Kevin Conroy became a sensation among superhero fans in no time after voicing Batman in Bruce Timm’s Batman: The Animated Series. The animated show gave us one of the best adaptations of the Caped Crusader to date. Bruce Timm, the co-creator of the animated series revealed that he had to make Conroy forget everything he knew about Batman to land the role.

Surprisingly, Kevin Conroy knew nothing much about the Gotham Knight when he went for a script reading for the role. However, the late actor nailed in the very first attempt and shocked the entire team. He went on to voice the superhero for three decades across animated movies, television series, and the Arkham games.

Kevin Conroy has worked with some of the most incredible voice actors because of his legendary work as Batman. The many villains he had to face, either minor or major, all impacted him in one way or another. The cast was a variety of enormous talent all mixed in one big familial project. Andrea Romano, the voice director of Batman: The Animated Series had a lot to say about the cast as well.

The Dcau started off as a single animated series that eventually grew into the cinematic universe that we know today. Kevin Conroy, the legendary voice actor who voiced the role of Batman in Batman: The Animated Series, had a huge impact on the cinematic universe.
Dcau legend Alan Burnett, who has been the producer of almost every DC animated production ever, feels the same way. Talking about the future of the animated universe, especially with the upcoming movies, Burnett and screenwriter Paul Dini couldn’t help but award Conroy with praises and love.

While the 90s Batman: The Animated Series remains one of the defining iterations of the Caped Crusader in animation, the 2000s brought along The Batman, which was set in its own distinctive continuity. The series debuted in 2004 and has its unique take on several elements from existing Batman mythos.

Bruce Timm’s pioneering work with DC’s animated shows is a shining example of adaptations done correctly. While TV shows and movies are the main source of entertainment today, back then people were heavily into comic books. Adapting from that material is hard as it is, but keeping it fun for an audience who already knows the direction where your show is going can be even more difficult. And some fans love to spoil those who are new to the genre, flaunting their knowledge.

Debuted in May 1939, the “Dark Knight” soon took on a coveted status as the “Caped Crusader” of Detective Comics aka DC. Ever since the character has become a central member of the Justice League and appeared in several editions and adaptations with several big-list names helming the live-action version. However, of the many such actors, Kevin Conroy comes off as arguably one of the most cherished ones to play Batman across several performances.
Featuring a distinctive voice, the late American actor has appeared in more than a staggering fifteen movies, close to four hundred television episodes, and even reprised his role in about twenty-four video games. An icon in his arena, Conroy’s iterations of Batman have become synonymous with the gritty and strong tone of speech associated with the character, and here are five of his most memorable such outings.

What Kevin Conroy was for Batman, Tim Daly was for Superman, who voiced the character in the ’90s Superman: The Animated Series. While the show itself isn’t as fondly remembered as Batman: The Animated Series, whose success paved the way for the show on the first hand, Daly did hit it out of the park with his performance as Clark Kent.
However, the acclaimed voice artist didn’t connect with Superman from the get-go, as it wasn’t until his later years that saw him developed a keen understanding of the character. But following the current landscape of superheroes, the Wings Star expressed his desire to get back to playing the Clark again, stressing the entertainment industry has gravitated way towards darkness.

Batman Beyond was considered one of the most popular animated series back in the day. The series revolves around the story of Terry McGinnis, a teenage boy who is being trained by Bruce Wayne aka Batman himself to become his successor and watch over Gotham City. This is because The Caped Crusader has become too old himself.

Batman has many iconic lines. From his talk about being the personification of vengeance, or the metaphors about darkness and the night, his dialogues follow a similar tone. On top of the lines that have become popular in the comics, it would seem that every person who played the character added something of their own to his Hall of Fame.
Oftentimes, these additions end up being iconic lines that stick around long after they hang the cape.
