Legendary Batman Voice Actor Kevin Conroy Has Passed Away

I remember being 12 and madly running home from the park alongside my bros. and cousin, leaving our dad and uncle strolling behind. They just didn't understand. The TV guide had informed us that the first episode of B:TAS was about to start.

Rest in peace, Mr. Conroy, and thank you for the performance of a lifetime.

Heartbroken.
He was my favourite Batman, the perfect voice.
Deep condolences to his family and close friends.

Looks like I will be watching Mask of the Phantasm tonight.

I realize I can't even, at least right now, much fully articulate why his voice as Batman and Bruce were so perfect, but they just were. His Batman was appropriately dark and yet captured all the rigid angry principled tortured nature it needed to have.

His Bruce has that pitch perfect urbane private school rich boy quality, but also the kind, thoughtful, and sarcastic aspects to it.

I don't really read Batman comics since I'm more a Superman fan but I've watched the movies, tv shows, games and most importantly animations. His Batman was THE Batman. Going through a flood of memories of my brothers and I watching the show after school. Remembering the first time watching Mask of the Phantasm. Whenever I hear Batman's voice, it's Kevin's. I can't imagine anyone else. His ability to shift his voice from Bruce to Batman and conveying these intense emotions in both personas was incredible. This hits so hard. RIP Kevin

Rest in peace. His voice is what I hear when I read Batman in comics.

Awful news... He was THE Batman for me and so many others. He will not be forgotten.

This one hurts just as hard as it did when I lost my father earlier this year.

He was truly one of the best. May he rest in peace.

It's just so hard to believe that Conroy is gone at 66 years of age. So sad , it may sound selfish but Kevin was the perfect voice for both Batman & Bruce Wayne . More so than any other actor that has portrayed both characters on either the Big screen or the small screen.
Life is very short , so sad 😔. To anyone not yet 60 , I'll tell you that life is short . Do as much as you can do while you're able.
Rest In Peace Kevin , I'll miss you and many many more will too.

Tonight is a darker night in Gotham City. B:TAS started airing just after my sophomore year of college had ended, and that summer would see Batman Returns arrive in movie theaters. But Kevin Conroy's vocal performance as both Bruce Wayne and Batman outlasted the Burton & Schumacher films, the Nolanverse, and the Snyderverse. Conroy and Mark Hamill, with respect to all the other actors who have portrayed the characters in all media, are THE definitive Batman and Joker.

Rest in peace, Mr. Conroy.

Just saw this. And it sucks. Everytime I read a Batman line (even though the character hasn't been a favorite for a while), is in his voice. Be it Bruce or Batman.

RIP Mr. Conroy.

I just can't believe this happened. 2022 has really been an awful year. Life...
