What voices do you hear from Batman media when reading the Batman comic books?

[Batman Begins 2005]

I'll be the first and certainly not the last to say Batman: The Animated Series. It's pretty much every character particularly the late great Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Mark Hamill as the Joker.

BTAS was my introduction to the Batman mythos, so yeah, Kevin Conroy is default.

It depends though. If it's an old-school Silver Age-ish comic, then I usually hear Adam West's voice (or the voice of whoever it was who voiced Batman in Superfriends and his other Hanna-Barbara appearances). Sometimes, in a really intense scene with Batman really ripping into someone verbally, I hear Christian Bale's 'Bat-voice'

[Restingvoice]

Batman - Kevin Conroy
Joker - Mark Hamill
Harley - Arleen Sorkin

Now that we get the obvious out of the way

Dick Grayson Teen Wonder - Burt Ward
Dick Grayson college student - Chris O'Donnell
60s Barbara Gordon - Yvonne Craig
New 52 Jim Gordon - Gary Oldman
70s Penguin - Meredith Burgess
Modern Penguin - Nolan North (Arkham City)
New 52 Scarecrow - Dino Andrade (Arkham Asylum)
The Scarecrow mastermind mode - John Noble (Arkham Knight)
Alfred Pennyworth - BTAS (There are 2 VA and I don't know which one's which)
Selina Kyle - Grey DeLisle (Arkham games)
Two-Face - Troy Baker (Arkham City)
Jason Todd - Troy Baker (Arkham Knight)

[TheJudge95]

Batman - Roger Craig-Smith (Arkham Origins)/Jensen Ackles (Long Halloween)
Gordon - Bryan Cranston (Year One)/Jonathan Banks (Arkham Knight)
Joker - Michael Emerson (Dark Knight Returns)/Mark Hamill
Nightwing - Tom Cruise

I try to not pay attention to voices in my head . . .

[Jackalope89]

Batman is obviously Kevin Conroy
Dick is Jesse McCartney (can't help it)
Jason Todd is Jensen Ackles

[Slimybug]

Of course, the voices of TAS. Conroy and Hamill are easy answers, but I definitely hear Loren Lester as Dick and Bob Hastings as Gordon is a huge standout!

I think sometimes I hear Kevin Porter from the Bat in the Sun fan films over Conroy. Honestly, that's the 2nd best Bat-voice ever, and should really be made Conroy's successor.

All that said, I just read Batgirl's first appearance from the 60s and found myself hearing West and Ward's voices!

Hopefully not as the voice of Batgirl . . .

Hugo Strange - Corey Burton - Arkham City

Gotta agree with the majority, BTAS = G.O.A.T.

[Mace Dolex]

I just hear my voice and my voice only, I started reading Batman in '87 at eleven years old, two years before Tim Burton's Batman and five years before BTAS so Keaton and Conroy's voices really didn't influence who I hear. Of course I always imagined Batman having a masculine raspy voice and now reading as an adult my voice is already pretty masculine.

Mine changes occasionally, but for the most part here is my cast of characters:

Batman: Ben Affleck, surprisingly. Armageddon-era Affleck for young Bruce, Daredevil-Affleck for younger Batman (Y1-Knightfall)...current age Affleck for older Bruce and BvS modulated voice for post-Knightfall Batman (Troika-current).

Nightwing: Tom Cruise

Red Hood: Jensen Ackles

Robin (Tim Drake): Loren Lester

Robin (Damian): whomever did his voice in the DCAU movies, like Batman vs Robin.

Batgirl/Oracle: Sarah Michelle Gellar

Gordon: Bryan Cranston

Alfred: Efram Zimbalist Jr.

Harley: Tara Strong

Joker: this one varies a LOT. Classic Bronze Age / early post Crisis is Mark Hamill. The darker stuff (Morrison's, Death in the Family) has a lot of Ledger in there. Tom King's Joker sounds like Jared Leto to me.


Funny enough, even though I loved TAS growing up, Conroy was never my main Batman voice (prior to Affleck it was Keaton). Kevin Conroy has always been my voice for Azrael/Batman throughout Knightfall, though.
