For millions of Batman fans, Kevin Conroy is the voice they hear whenever they read a comic with Batman in it.

[@emperortrevornorton3119]

I consider his voice sketched into that character like a book when reading Batman comics his voice is the very first that comes to mind when reading Batman's speech bubbles I wish everyone could have enjoyed his Batman growing up he pretty much made a hardcore Marvel fan jump ship when he played Batman

[@TheMysteryDriver]

Too bad Vee doesn't actually put his voice in any of the video when he's describing his voice.

[@groovysnake6664]

[@jac0736]

Really I do read every Batman as Conroy’s voice. The only exception is the Batman Who Laughs, I read him with Adam West’s voice

[@maddenboseroy4074]

@@TheMysteryDriver He never needed to. Conroy will forever be the outro to Vee's videos. Speaking of which, Vee should have Arleen Sorkin and Mark Hamill replace Tara Strong and Troy Baker respectively in that outro.

[@wesstewart2677]

My favorite vocal deliver from his was in Arkham Knight. “You’re afraid of being ashes. You’re afraid of being forgotten. And you WILL be forgotten joker. Because of me.” “I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman.” Kevin, I hope you know that you will never be forgotten.

[@thepubknight6144]

i wont lie when harvey/two face snapped at batman while in the batmobile and batman said with sorrow in his voice "im so sorry harvey" i choked up

[@omidghavamian4487]

Arkham Knight showed the character in a different state. After Joker's death, it seemed that Kevin sounded harsher in his delivery. I don't think it was just his older age, but an intentional choice on either his, or the director's part.

[@caowens77]

I first met Kevin in 2014 at Denver Comic-Con. We chatted about doing voice work & he had a script from BTAS that he handed me & started doing lines with me. I have never in my life felt so honored & scared at the same time. To this day I can't help but smile & tear up just thinking about it.

[@SocialKidmusic]

What a memorable moment!

[@jacobsims8307]

Straight legend.

[@WEYYYY874]

I’m glad he was shown so much appreciation even before his sudden passing. Not many people are so lucky. He was an absolute legend.

Kevin Conroy will always be my favorite. He was my childhood. He played the role perfectly. I still miss him so much. Rest in love, Kevin.

[@alexbg9658]

When Kevin left us, it felt like Batman left us too. Even though it's been months I'm still in shock that he's gone, he seemed so larger than life that I never thought he would leave us one day. He has been and always will be my Batman, the best to ever do it hands down. Makes it even better that he was an incredible person too, thank you Kevin for giving me and countless other kids their definitive Batman and teaching us how to cope with the hardships of life. Gone but never forgotten.

[@The_Phantasm]

I remember my first time hearing his voice as Batman when I was 5 years old watching the World's Finest episodes of Superman the Animated Series and just being mesmerized by his intimidating and deep yet calming voice. From that point on he was MY Batman and for that reason every time I gazed upon something Batman related, live-action or otherwise, I was slightly disappointed that it wasn't him. He became my childhood hero and I would not be the same person if it wasn't for him. For all of us he is THE Batman and there will never be another like him.

[@thepubknight6144]

one of the things i loved about kevin was he had different voices for bruce wayne and batman and they sound totally different....hes definately the best bruce and batman rip kevin conroy

I met Kevin Conroy twice at 2 different cons. The first meeting was good but the second one is the most special, it was a local con and the final day of the con so everyone who wanted to meet him or see his Q&A with Phil LaMar had already done so, so he was alone and I got to speak to him for around 20 minutes!! He was so kind and at the time (November 2015) we didn’t know he was going to be Batman in the killing joke film, but he told me “keep an ear out in January” and winked at me when I asked about it.

Kevin Conroy passing on was like Stan Lee passing away all over again, it just broke me when I found out it happened when it did, because I thought that Kevin Conroy Batman would be around for literally FOREVER, never in a second did I think of a day when Kevin would've either retired his portrayal or him pass away at all, I figured he'd be around till he was 90 and STILL VOICING BATMAN, but now, there will never be that chance for one more word, one more line, one more time or one more story from KC Batman, Kevin Conroy was a once in a lifetime voice for a character that has had multiple versions of himself but truly only one voice that defined him, and that was Kevin Conroy, no voice could portray him, AND NO VOICE HAS EVER BEEN BETTER SINCE KEVIN.

[@xtorterraxgreymonx12ahh38]

I won't lie and say that I'm the biggest Batman fan or DC fan in general so his performances didn't have a special place in my heart like others. By god though, that smile at 23:22 is all I needed to see from this man. I have NEVER seen anyone give such a genuine smile from something they simply love doing and that was something for a fan no less. This man truly is a treasure and I regret not being more into his work when he was alive. What I can say is though, RIP sir, even people who are not into the character you portray can still recognize the love and dedication you put into work.

I remember the day I heard about Kevin's passing. I was reading comics at my library and my friend told me what happened and I just lost it. Now I've been sad about other big deaths (Ex: Robin Williams, Chadwick Boseman) but this one hit especially hard for me. I first heard him in Arkham Asylum and loved how gravitas and dramatic his voice was. It just fit the character so well that I couldn't hear any other voice for the character because he fit him so well. I will miss you, Kevin. Thank you for everything.

[@elderrusty541]

I still tear up when I watch clips of Conroy, even months after his passing, it’s hard for me to call him the best Batman actor because simply put, he was vengeance, he was the night, he was Batman

[@VaderTheWhite]

When I think of Kevin Conroy's Batman, I always think about the two-parter "Two Face". The pain and guilt he felt from failing to save Harvey, save his friend, and his desire to bring him back to the light just defines the character for me. Also, when I watched Gotham Knight for the first time and I heard his voice, I tried to say the sentence, "It's Kevin Conroy!" But that wasn't what came out of my mouth. I said, "It's Batman!"

He lives on through all our Hearts.

He wasn't *my* favorite but he was amazing and iconic no contest.

RIP Thank you Kevin for a passionate performance lasting for decades. You will be missed, but also remembered.

[@taff6587]

I'm so thankful I got to live in the same time period as Kevin Conroy and his Batman. Not only did he become the pinnacle voice for the character, but without him, other great Batman Voice Actors and on screen actors possibly wouldn't have performed the way they did. We'll miss Kevin dearly, and I look forward to seeing his final performance in the Suicide Squad game. Rest in peace to the hero that had a part in saving the lives of many on screen, and off screen.🦇

[@mijonate6484]

First time I actually grieved the death of someone I never knew

[@powerrangernerd8122]

My all-time favorite moment from Kevin was when he gave the "vengeance and night" speech, because that was what really sold me into wanting to watch more of BTAS as a kid. The dark tone of his voice, the epic music, and the near-shouting of his lines made me get goosebumps even today! Never met him, and that will haunt me til the day I die, but that moment is the part of his whole career that made me realize Kevin WAS Batman (even though, back then, I thought that movies and TV shows were actual history, for some reason). RIP Kevin, THE Batman.

[@Skooby59]

I know i watched BTAS when i was little but my first memories were from batman beyond. He had this… he was just the coolest. And the “that’s not what i call myself” line has always stuck out to me more than any other

[@SidNightWalker]

The guy was so intelligent and, artistic too. He didn't get to do much live roles, even though he did 50 million rehearsals for tons of shows...he was an artist. You can tell this in his interviews. He loved to act in general, and he found that one role for him, and he nailed it.

And my favorite movie was batman mystery of the batwoman i thought it was great and too this day I think it gets too little credit and is underrated.

I was 11 years old and waiting for Batman returns to come out when I saw the announcement for the animated series on TV. Batman 89 was one of the biggest movies in my life. It was so cool I got home from a friend's house and my dad said hey I recorded this new Batman show want to check it out and we watched countless movies and shows together but not cartoons. It was on leather wings and we both loved it. So over the years we watched alot of the big episodes together. So when my dad passed I went back to watch that episode agian, it was the first thing I did to try and make myself feel better. Batman has always been there for me and I've spent more time with Kevin Conroy than anyone else in my life because Batman has always reminded me that no matter what happens to you, you can always remain a good person.

Kevin Conroy Is the voice of Batman. He has made our childhoods and into our adulthoods so special. His voice his iconic to do duel of making Bruce Wayne as his mask and Batman being his true face. As a quote from Rachel Dawes from Batman Begins "Its not who am I underneath but I do that defines me." He gave the voice such prowleesnes and powerful to scare criminals to intimidate thugs and viilans for over 30 years since 1992. A long lasting legacy that Kevin Conroy has done to this iconic character has character who also gave him depth and care for the innocent and meaningful for others.

I didn't watch Batman: The Animated Series until last year, but I'm so glad I did. Kevin Conroy infused so much passion into the character, and hearing him talk about what Batman means to people and how they connect with him was just as entertaining as his actual portrayal. He embodied Batman so perfectly without ever actually getting into the suit(until Crisis, that is), and his love for what he was doing was always felt. While I would've loved to meet him at some point, but the legacy he left behind is undeniable. He will always be vengeance. He will always be the night. He will always be Batman.

[@kappamagi7383]

I remember as a kid that when asked who my favorite superhero was, I would say Superman. But it was Batman the Animated Series that I watched almost every time it would come on. The Arkham games rekindled my love for the character and led me to devouring more Batman content as I became aware of it. Not to mention the iconic, emotion-filled voice that let you know whatever property Kevin was working on, he would be the one giving it all he had. He will be dearly missed.

Being a pretty big gamer my whole life I grew a massive personal attachment to the Arkham series. Arkham Knight being my favourite performance because you can truly feel him being broken and consumed by The Jokers toxin whilst trying to fight it off with every last breath he has and Kevin makes this feel so real to me it gives goosebumps even thinking about it, much like the rest of his roles.

Kevin Conroy has been my favourite Batman since the Animated series and especially the Arkham Games and when Knight came out a lot of people criticized his performance and it honestly broke my heart they were saying he was “robotic” and “lifeless” saying his acting was bad but that’s what made it so good through out the Arkham saga u can see his evolution or devolution from his expressive and live voice in Asylum and Origins (even tho it was Roger) to how he sounds so dead inside in Knight the only two Arkham games where he grunts in combat is Asylum and Origins and I think that’s on purpose and spoilers for Arkham he lost so much people that he just doesn’t feel the same anymore like Jason, Barbara (at the moment) and joker oddly enough so his lifeless voice in Knight fits very well and makes sense in the narrative of the games

[@PaulSmith-nb6md]

[@BrianAwesome]

Too many memories. But one of the Timm verse Batman/DCAU memories that stands out, is that it was around for well over a decade . Conroy's Batman outlasted the original Saban Era Power Rangers. He was one of the only action hero shows in the early 90s, but lasted well past the late 90s action phase, and even after the early 2000s anime boom. Kevin Conroy and the DCAU, even well outlasted (WITH multiple movies) their 90's Marvel Animated Universe counterparts. Kevin and the DCAU are ageless classics, that never seem to get old. And his work gets even better with time 🍷

[@notoriouslfg3815]

His response to your question was so powerful. I am going to save this video so when I need a pick me up, to listen to his words of why I appreciate batman so much. And why we continue to work hard, not only in life but on ourselves.

[@myremedy7691]

It's usually pretty difficult for me to feel saddened by the deaths of people I don't personally know, morbid as that might be, but news of Kevin dying was painful to hear. For as far back as I've got memories, I've loved Batman. The character, while imperfect, served as quite the lovely escape route from some pretty stressful times during my younger days. He's inspired the tone and themes of several passion projects I'm writing. And nobody who's voiced him before or since Kevin has brought Batman to life the same way. He'll be dearly missed for that fact.

[@kevinthornington3371]

My first memories of Kevin conroy’s Batman was Justice league, public enemies, the Batman and the Arkham games

[@SidNightWalker]

He's one of the best voice actors ever, even though he's only really known for one role. That's how damn perfect he was. He embodies everything about the character so flawlessly it's astounding.

[@mzov_1724]

My first experience with the character was Heart of Ice, re-run in my country with subtitles, years later. The voice always stuck with me.

[@SidNightWalker]

Very fitting because that's one of the episodes that defined modern Mr Freeze. I'd also suggest Feet of Clay, for umm... Clayface.

[@thearcadeguy87]

This was an amazing video for an amazing man. Kevin was so influential to me and my family. When I first met the woman who would become my wife, we bonded over the character of Batman and she seemingly fell in love with me when she asked me who the best Batman was. And I said Kevin. We married a year later. We had the privilege of meeting the legend at a convention. He signed the batarang my wife found in my house when we first met and I have a picture with him, my wife and my two kids. V, Kevin is holding my infant son in the picture. It killed me finding out he had passed once I realized it wasn't a hoax. I had the privilege of telling him that he was the reason me and my wife were together and he was so humble. He changed my life for the better. R.I.P Batman.

[@BitoyV3]

I grew up watching BTAS, JL, and JLU. Those shows and Kevin Conroy's Batman made me a lifelong superhero nerd. When I was younger and got bullied a lot, Conroy's Batman seemed like a power fantasy. But as I got older (and STILL got bullied), I really got to see the empathy and humanity behind Conroy's Batman. Sure, there were other characters I loved, like Spider-Man, Wolverine, Punisher, Deadpool, Captain America, Black Panther, etc., but his portrayal of Batman (MAYBE alongside Dee Bradley Baker's Captain Rex) made me believe that human beings always have the chance to be--and do--better, whether anyone else takes it.

[@jordonsample6398]

I was a little kid like 5 years old...Batman the Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Batman Mask of the Phantasm, Mystery of the Batwoman, SubZero. I hardly remember anything from back then ofc, but I remember watching all of those over and over and over. Then in my teens, Arkham. Its been 2 decades and Kevins voice as Batman been with some of us since we were playing in the sandbox. I think a big reason why I love replaying Arkham so much is because his voice reminds me of a simpler time.

[@youngimperialistmkii]

That interview segment got me right in the feels. That was a beautiful vision of the meaning of Batman as a character. If Keven Conway tells me that is who Batman is. Then, as a Superman fan. I say that Batman is the greatest of the DC heroes.

[@dragonfly8568]

I'm not gonna lie, I never got into TAS but Conroy is my batman. The fact that he continued playing bats for the rest of the DCAU like justice league (which I watch yearly) and of course other projects like the Arkham series there was no way I would have ever seen anyone else as batman. Even with TAS, I never sat down to watch the entire show (always felt like my older brothers show) there were still episodes of the show that were part of my childhood like the episode with the one armed priest who was childhood friends with a gangster or the alway amazing gray ghost episode. And that show before the redesign was always gorgeous to me. that like 40s gothic noir feeling made each frame gorgeous. Mix that with Conroy and the rest of the talent that help make that show and you have perfection. I mean for him it was literally and luckily transcendent since he worked on all these other projects as the B man. Thank you Kevin Conroy, even when I’m 80 you will be batman, the voice I will here when reading comics, the batman to compare all others against, and the one that I will annoy my grandkids by telling them about the best batman.

I take great comfort in knowing that when watching the best animated Batman content, playing genre defining games, and knowing that so many of us will always hear his voice when we're reading what Batman is saying. He defined Batman in a way that can never truly be replicated. He is truly immortal. The definitive Batman and then some 🦇 Fantastic video, Vee. Always like to see the Passion for Kevin and TAS in general 👍

I think my fondest memory was watching tbe episode where batman sang am i blue it was beautiful and its always stuck in my mind

[@dartagnancurt4392]

My favorite moment will always be when he comforts Ace in JLU and The very similar moment at the End of The Batman, to keep it short he realizes that he’s just a scared kid like the people that he’s comforting

I am honored to have been a fan. The fact that I was alive for this is just epic in itself. Thank you Kevin Conroy.

He was truly a great man and a wonderful philosopher

When the video title switched from "is" to "was"... We all felt that.

I love everything with Kevin as Batman, wether it's good or bad, Kevin was always on his A Game. I remember the cross over with Static so well. ❤ Great content V

My favorite thing to come from Kevin Conroy is well all of it. He did everything with passion and it was all amazing and beautiful it’s sad that he gone he is the Vengeance he is the Night he is Batman

[@Canadian_killjoy]

I think my favorite thing that Kevin Conroy as Batman was involved in Justice League unlimited in the episode where Circe turns Wonder woman into a pig and you see how far he'll go for those he cares for and you could hear the difference in Kevin's proformance between normal stoic batman at the beginning of the episode and the worried and desperate batman trying to find a way to lift the curse it's my favorite episode (personal note I wished Kevin was able to sing more it was gorgeous I usually don't like singing out side of a song but I will look up a clip of that occasionally)

The greatest Batman there ever will be

Superman shoulder checking bats will always make me laugh. I will always love that movie.
