I remember opening the pages of Totally Kids magazine (the Fox Kids based outlet) & there was a small piece on Mark Hamill & The Joker. I remember being floored by the thought that Luke Skywalker was also the voice behind the character. It was such a signature/classic-sounding voice that felt like it was always meant to be & was in such contrast to his other famous role, that I still get chills thinking about. Yeah, Kevin Conroy & Mark Hamill forever, man. What a great time to be a kid & experience this series (and X-MenTAS) firsthand. Queen Andrea Romano! 👑❤🙌🏿

I found out Mark did the Joker's voice while reading the cast listing on the back of Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. And I didn't believe it for years until I saw him on The Flash (1990) as The Trickster. He did the same voice a few times during the episode. That was the only way I was convinced.

Every single voice actor on this series, not just the messianic performances of Conroy and Hamill, will be the default voices for these characters for many many years to come. Kids will be hearing these voices in their minds when reading the comics long after anyone will know who these people are. By FAR the greatest voice casting and performing in animation history.

Hearing that someone whose voice I grew up listening to on tv as a child shocked me. I’ve never had the honor of meeting Mr. Conroy, but I really wish I had a chance to. RIP Kevin Conroy.

Kevin Conroy was Batman for me, moreso than Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer at the time, throughout my college years and that show got me through some pretty lonely days early on. I am grateful to have had the chance to meet him at a WizardWorld show 5 years ago. Not only was he a warm and kind-hearted man, he was deeply appreciative of his fans, and even took time to talk to my daughter when we met him. I can't describe the chills I got when he got down on one knee, told her to close her eyes and then said, in that amazing voice, "I am vengeance. I am the night. I. Am. Batman!!" It felt like Batman was standing right next to me. And as far as I'm concerned, Batman WAS standing next to me. God bless you, Mr. Conroy, and may you rest eternally in peace.
