BEST and WORST Batman Voice Actors

Is there anyone that comes close to Kevin Conroy's voice acting for Batman?

[@Sam_Gunn]

It’s okay, this isn’t his last performance as Batman, crisis on infinite earths part 3 will be. There is still hope!

I met him at a convention, he was really nice and we talked about the idea of him being in another Arkham game, I now know that at that point he would've already worked on Arkham shadow.

The Closest to Conroy we can get the Batman voice in similarity is probably Jensen Ackles Robert Pattinson and even Roger Craig smith not saying the others didn’t do good but when it comes to Batman that intimidating presence I feel that has been nailed by them

"The hammer of justice is unisex!" - Diedrich Bader voicing Batman from "Batman: The Brave And The Bold"

[@jakeinator2005]

I don't know why, but Troy Baker is definitely my 2nd favorite Batman. Maybe it's because I grew up on the LEGO Batman games (as well as a few LEGO DC movies) but his performance had quality to it, he fills the role of Batman quite well.

[@DanielBarrymanNerd]

Same

[@Sai-gp3pq]

He does a great impression of conroy and Hamill

[@CS-om3kj]

I played them too and loved them. But Batman vs. TMNT is easily my favorite performance of his, it’s seemed to be Conroy impression but it never sounded unnatural. Unfortunately he seems to have changed it up as of the super sons movie, can’t say I like his new take as much.

Diedrich Bader will always be the voice of batman to me mainly because Batman The Brave and Bold was one of my favourite series during my childhood. He's got such a deep voice that can be pretty funny as well as serious in specific situations. I'm so glad you mentioned him

[@i.am.batman396]

Bruce Greenwood deserves more recognition for portraying Batman’s voice in under the red hood and young justice.

Well, actually, he did record some voice lines for Multiversus, Batman: Caped Crusader, and Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3

[@connorseidel7197]

I will say Bryan Cranston is actually a great voice actor, he did a two part episode in Archer a few years back and he kicked ass. He was also Po's panda dad in Kung Fu Panda 3 and 4, he was a dog in Isle of Dogs, he was the Tiger in Madagascar 3, and he was in the adult swim show Super Mansion as Titanium Rex. It may not be his main acting preference, but the amount he's involved in goes to show he is extremely versatile.

Man just love to preform and I applaud him for it! Now I gotta watch Kung Fu Panda 3 and 4

[@Torrent373]

Can you do this for Superman Joker Riddler and other DC characters. This would be an epic series that I'd love to watch. I'm a new subscriber and I think this series would be nice to watch.

[@lozo1006]

Its funny to hear Ron Pearlman do such a near nothing line delivery when he plays Clayface with really solid delivery. I guess also a neat Batman voice comes from also the Animated series episode [Legends of the Dark Knight] with Michael Ironside. I don't think Ironside would fit the actual animated series batman. But fits perfectly with Dark Knight's tone of story. Also helps he's putting effort in the line reads.

[@Tadicuslegion78]

For as campy as Brave and the Bold is, the Joe Chill episode was S tier voice acting from Bader confronting Joe Chill

[@jeridohansley979]

Tbh, I thought Ben’s voice in year one actually fit it really well, cause it’s year one, it’s his first time actually being Batman and he’s supposed to sound like a young kid/young adult, and the whole “working out his voice” trope fits even better

[@LeopoldLitchenstein]

I think my favorite non Conroy Batman VAs are Troy Baker (loved LEGO Batman 2 as a kid), Diedrich Bader (he gets great lines in the Harley Quinn show), and either Will Arnett or Roger Craig Smith. All great in their own way

[@NickolasNameolas]

Cranston is a voice actor, he started out on Power Rangers doing villains. Also Bader also does Batman in Harley Quinn.

[@jtcustoms4297]

Heres a little update for you. Kevin's last performance as Batman will be in the animated movie Justice League Crisis on Infinite Earths Part 3 which releases next month in July. Where he's coming back to voice the animated series version of Batman one last time. Also, along with that he does the voice of Batman in the game Multiversus.

[@darkfan4337]

I would recommend the two voices from the btas episode "Legends of The Dark Knight." Where the voice of stas' Darkseid voiced TDKR Batman and the voice actor of the original Space Ghost done a more Bill Finger and Dick Sprang Batman

Jason O'Mara's a good Batman but he's no Kevin Conroy.

[@InTheBaggggg]

It’s ok! His last video game performance is technically in Multiverses. During its 2022 release the developers said that the game was in early beta for players and it recently re-released as a full game a few weeks ago as the official release date, AFTER SSKTJL.

[@arcanestormcrow1489]

Troy Burton also a really good Batman. He's most familiar as the Batman from the Lego games, as well as Tell-Tale Batman, and in my own personal opinion, sounds more closer to Kevin Conroy than any other simply because of how much of his take I grew up with, and it was also revealed recently that he'll be voicing Batman for Batman Arkham Shadows, which I think is very fitting given how good of a gritty Batman he can do

[@PhantomLantern2814]

Odd choice, but I think Jeremy Sisto did a great job as Batman in Justice League New Frontier. He does an Adam west style voice, but more grizzled like a proper noir detective

[@Kingkonga200]

I’m a Ron Perlman fan, he’s done a lot of great work that I’ve seen from Teen Titans as Deathstroke, the Lich from Adventure time and his latest role as Optimus Primal in ROTB, so it’s with a heavy heart that I have to admit he wasn’t too great in the Justice League game. I don’t think he was awful, but I also don’t think he could be Batman next time, and to be honest I think he might do better as Hush if anything, but all I’m saying is if he’s apart of DC, pls just keep him as Deathstroke.
