Every Kevin Conroy Batman: Multi-Series Retrospective

[@SlipMaker]

As some comments have pointed out, I included a clip of the wrong Boy Meets World actor at 1:32:20. That’s Rider Strong, not Will Friedle. My apologies.

[@knight-_-meh]

thank you for this loving tribute to a great mans work

[@bZman]

Batman Vengeance on the GBA was a lot of fun, I played the hell out of it as a kid

[@nateds7326]

Barbara having a crush on Batman/Bruce is cute and even funny if written the right way. Batman actually reciprocating in any way, instead of politely or comedically shooting her down is what nightmares are made of.

[@pisssommelier768]

Nate don't say cute and funny in the same sentence or the guys from the /b/ board will come

[@kutless45]

It’s a side effect of when Bruce Timm was reading comics. Pre-Crisis Batman and Batgirl were around the same age. She got aged down post-Crisis.

[@IM-vv5dm]

The last lines Kevin ever said as Batman are the best sendoff for him: *"I care, Joker. About Gotham. About Justice. And if it has to end....at least I go out like this: Being Batman!"*

[@nategrey4693]

Slipmaker is lowkey my favorite youtuber because i used to think "i dont have enough slipmaker videos for me to get high and rewatch" and now ive been blessed with 5 hours of quality content

[@JamCooper]

"Do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be President?" God, I love that line!

[@RaptorJesus]

We rightly heap praise on Hamil's animated-Arkham Joker for being perhaps the best distillation of the character, but I fear that we don't give near enough to the equally-perfect Lex Luthor that Clancy Brown plays.

My guy is starting off the year with a documentary on the best Batman

[@dcworld4349]

What do you mean best Batman? There is only 1 Batman, Kevin Conroy. The rest are just actors who occasionally do a decent job.

I literally just thought yesterday “there should be a slipmaker video soon”

[@chris_player2995]

i checked his latest video from 8 months ago lol, I was like "where is he?"

[@genechowder]

I was literally in the middle of watching his better call saul video wishing he would drop again when I saw this pop up 😂

[@Greendawn-di3dl]

Yep. Same. Didn't expect it this long, and on this topic. Pleasantly surprised, slip makers off the hook for now; but you're on thin ice mister. I know you are listening.

[@Eamonshort1]

I'd been wondering why you hadn't uploaded / where you'd been. Turns out you'd "been" editing a video like 3x longer than your previous longest. Glad to have you back man. Always a pleasure when I get the notification that you've uploaded.

[@SlipMaker]

Yeah… this one took a little while longer than I hoped. Thanks so much for your support of the channel and happy to (at very very long last) provide something new!

[@Eamonshort1]

​@SlipMaker always worth the wait. As I've said in other videos of yours, you have like the exact same taste as me. Have a channel do Hannibal, Terriers, BCS, Pushing Dasies, Ash vs Evil Dead and The Americans retrospectives is wild. Besides Eureka (I can't find it streaming anywhere here in australia) you match my eclectic taste perfectly. And it's a great way to get to experience these great stories with you concise analysis

[@BeatRiceIsHere]

I thought it was odd that you spent five hours and six minutes talking about the bat credit card from Batman and Robin, but you know what? I’ll let this artistic liberty slide.

As a fellow Better Call Saul-head the only part you need to watch is 1:48:23

I generally don't care about an actor's personal life, but the day I learned Kevin Conroy died, I cried. That man was my childhood hero. Not Batman, Kevin himself was my hero.

[@esdraslopez4658]

The only celebrity death to really hit me like a gut punch, next ti the very unexpected and tragic death and Chadwick Boseman.

[@bZman]

Conroy and Stan Lee passing both hit me hard

[@No1ofConsequence]

The man, the legend, Kevin Conroy. Gone too soon and I miss him every time I hear a Batman that isn't him. Which is no insult to anyone else who has voiced or will voice the character. But, lets face it, anytime you saw a trailer for an animated Batman anything, you had a small part of you disappointed when you didn't hear his voice. And the world is a little less bright now that no one will ever hear from this good man again.

[@ringkunmori]

This is the closest Slip Maker will get to making a retrospective to an anime.

[@wltdDOTtech]

Awesome video to listen to on my road trip. Thank you!

[@SlipMaker]

Glad you enjoyed it, and thank you so much for your support of the channel!

[@benkersten1705]

Just in time to listen to while shoveling snow. Thanks brother

[@ryszakowy]

out of every batman kevin conroy and adam west did it perfectly bruce wayne speaks in smooth easy manner "sure doc make appointment at 9" , "it's billionaire vicky, millionaires are so last year" and batman speaks in a way that commands the room, hell entire city block "i'll give you one chance to let hem go" "if you don't see the dangers then i don't need your votes, i don't belong here"

I love a good DCAU retrospective

[@BerbenHermann]

One of your best works! I hope the algorithm picks this up soon!

he'll always be my batman rip kevin🦇

[@bobsmith8510]

Good job slip. You've earned yourself a week in the Virtual Reality pod

[@thefollowingisatest4579]

You created a lovely companion for my day! Conroy was one of a kind, and I'll always be grateful he let himself be known later in life. To know how much Batman meant to both us and him, and how much the issues he faced and overcame informed the character....well it's the stuff dreams are made of.

[@-AAA-147]

I wanna shoutout the announcement of this project being the exact kick in the pants for me to not only finally check out Batman TAS but also getting me interested through that show to check most of the rest of the DC AU. I may not have grown up with Kevin Conroy's Batman, but the character at large has always appealed to me, and this version of Batman is by-and-far my definitive one now. The central theme of empathy enveloping the hero and his rogue's gallery struck a chord with me. It's in this connection that I can understand the grief people feel over the Batman they grew up with passing away. RIP Kevin Conroy, you were the best one to do it.

[@JamLegendLegend]

A 5 hour Slip Maker video? Looks like I'll be able to sleep well for the next two weeks.

[@nateds7326]

Terry Mguiness is the crown jewel of the DCAU's contribution to the batman mythos. Its wild to think Terry neebr existed before 1999, I can't imagine the Batman story without him.

[@jean-lucclark7598]

‪Happy new year Slipmaker! This is gonna feed me for all of 2025…. at least until your Dexter original sin video. Either way you’re a legend and hope you give yourself a week off just to celebrate the upload. Thank you again, stay awesome and your 100K is imminent! ‬

[@johnnybensonitis7853]

Daaaamn!! What a way to start the new year, baby. I work nights so I'll be able to watch this entire beast maybe in one go. Thanks my good man, looking forward to the next handful of hours!

[@TitterpigRancher]

That "and he still is" at the end, ADR'ed to Bruce saying the same to the Grey Ghost, really hit hard. Superlative work.

[@Mixu.]

Every few years I return back to watching/reading/playing all my favourite Batman media, and basically all of them include Conroys Batman. I'm currently in the middle of one such time period, so this is as perfect a timing as it gets.

[@kgldude]

God, The Electrocutioner drove me insane. Fromsoftware clearly took inspiration from that nightmare challenge for their harder boss fights.

5 hours, making up for the lost time and I'm here for all of it

[@jordansweet8054]

I always thought Cape and Cowl was underrated. It's solid as a crime thriller. Great video. My brother met Conroy briefly last year and we grew up with his version of Batman. It really was a great run. 2:27:41 My favorite Batman scene ever. It's just amazing.

[@siechamontillado]

Slip Maker had me the moment he said, 'shant.' What other reviwer uses great words like 'shant' or 'absconded' in their review? This dude is a gem!

Ain't no way this man's opening the new year with a 5 HOUR heater

[@Smithfan94]

It took me eight hours to watch/listen to a five hour video. I can only imagine the amount of work and effort that went into this. As a young millennial, Kevin will always be my Batman. Thank you.

My biggest problem in Arkham Knight was the developers insistence that the Arkham Knight was a brand new character, while obviously being Jason.

Had to check exactly which line you were mentioning… I tend to have a lot of self-satisfied smirks while recording.

I'm not sure why I found calling Scarecrow a "fear enthusiast" was so funny but boy it was. Love your videos, man. Look forward to each and every one, and I think this is your finest work yet.

[@leithaziz2716]

Kevin Conroy's performance as Batman was the closest thing I had to a role model and taught me much about compassion. Despite the overexposure of the character, I don't take the experience of growing up with the DCAU shows and the Arkham games for granted. Whatever may come in the future, I hope Kevin Conroy is in peace and got to know how much people love him.

[@The_Phantasm]

What an amazing and in-depth retrospective!!! I salute your dedication.

[@CainGarrisonVT]

Watched this on Patreon but let’s go again!

[@randallflagg3700]

Great stuff! I'm so happy someone is finally covering *Justice League: Action* ! I mean, it wasn't a "full show retrospective", but it was much more complete on that particular topic than any other video on the subject that is, to my knowledge, available on youtube. I guess I got lucky, first couple episodes I watched were some Kevin Conroy highlights, between the Batman/Booster Gold crossover _"Time Out"_ , which tugged at my heartstrings when Batman finally realizes through the course of the episode that Booster is much , MUCH more than the dumb, lazy, unfocused comic relief who is constantly screwing up... The moment Kevin Conroy's Batman is torn because if they follow Booster's plan, that means he never gets to find that out and will continue to treat him poorly in the future, that was genuinely heartbreaking for me... Batman : What are you doing? Booster Gold : I'm sorry, Bats. I have to push you outside the time stream. Just trust me. Batman : Booster, do that and I'll be returned to just before we left. I won't remember any of this. Booster Gold : That's okay, Bats. *I will.* Batman : ...I was wrong about you. You're a better person than anybody gives you credit for. Maybe one day, I'll find that out. Right after that, I watched the Batman/Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes, voiced by Jake T Austin, who had already voiced Jaime in the DCAMU) crossover _"Time Share"_ , a love letter to Batman:TAS in which they go back to Batman's first real big time mission in which Bruce took on Carmine "the Roman" Falcone and his mafia... Not as much a tear-jerker as the last one, but very fun if you're a lifetime fan of Kevin Conroy. There are plenty of references/callbacks to Batman:TAS, so even if one doesn't feel like watching JL/Action from start to finish, it's a fun episode to check out if you're a B:TAS enthusiast. After that I was hooked, and watching a few episodes every day became a routine until I exhausted the catalogue. Frankly, *Justice League: Action* is the DC animated show that I wish more people would give a chance to (my live action equivalent would be either *Superman & Lois* , a really good show that a lot of people discard because "Late CW? Eww, must suck then", same reason as to why it's difficult to get people to watch *Stargirl* despite being another quality DC show), when promoting it myself I usually push it as "come oooon, it's the last show in which Conroy consistently voiced Batman for, and he's in amost every episode! Don't you want moar Conroy/Mark Hamill action?" ... but secretely I hope that they end up liking that episode so much that they binge the rest of the show. Anyway, that was a really solid video, nice 2025 present for us ^^ Cheers from France o/ RF

[@randallflagg3700]

Let's move on to *Batman: Gotham Knight* ... even if I ended up liking this one, at the time I watched it (right after I had watched *The Dark Knight* twice in theaters) so I was in full "Heath Ledger Jooker Coom-Brain" mode , Jook'd all day every day, and bought this new DVD because, obviously, it was going to feature all the Joker material recorded before Mr Ledger's tragic passing... we'll finally find out who he was/what he did before TDK! ... so yeah, when it started out with a poor re-animated episode of the awesome TNBA , "Legends of the Dark Knight", but with all the good stuff taken out (The TNDA episode itself was an adaptation of "The Batman Nobody Knows" , the comic book story that arguably inspired the creation of Batwing), Anyway, it was off to a bad start. And no Ledger Joker yet, this one wasn't going to be a Jook-cave regular. ... to make a long story short, the only segments that I would end up rewatching where: 1) _"Deadshot"_ episode by studio Madhouse; I've been a Floyd fanboy since before it was cool, so this segment became a personal favorite. A few years later, this episode would even get a small nod in the *Arrow* season 1 episode 3 _"Lone Gunmen"_ , in which Deadshot's skills are also showcased by assassinating a man at a posh party by sniping him from far away with a bullet that, like in this segment, also breaks a champagne glass stem right before hitting its target. 2) _"In Darkness Dwells"_ , also by Madhouse... I just

I actually don’t mind the Cadmus arc turning into a showdown with Brianiac. The entire arc hinges on the question about the necessity of the Justice League in the DC universe. Having Brianiac show back up to remind everyone why Superman is necessary fits into that theme very well.

[@TheRealLocalLegend]

Excellent work, Slip.

I always dreamed of a live action adaptation of "The dark knight returns" starring Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill, to me it seemed like an obvious DC project. Never gonna happen now, but it probably never was...

No joke I literally just got done watching animated series like yesterday lol. Now I'm watching the Superman animated series

[@maxiargos1971]

Idk how to say this, but I played the Batman beyond part of the video for my BF to hear, and when you went into the Batman almost getting his youth back part my bf cut in to say, "That's Ra's you know! He didn't have to kiss batman but he did!" and I lost it. XD I grew up with Batman the animated series as a kid as well, and same here. Kevin Conroy is my batman as well. Still glad my BF saw that the Crisis on infinite earth was streaming on one serve early on for free, and we watched it waiting for the next movie to drop, and when we heard Kevin in the last one we lost it by clapping and yelling in joy. We both grew up with the animated series. Mine being the first animated series and my BF batman beyond. I never meet the man myself, but with what I heard about him, and what I grew up with from his body of work I am glad that my favorite super hero is Batman. Also random side note: Before batman I used to watch the Disney Zorro late at night with my late grandma, when Disney channel used to show it, which are high found memories with me. So when I got into batman as a kid, and found out that Zorro was his inspiration. It made me smile, because a hero I liked so much made me adore them even more, with then being connected to someone I only knew about thanks to my grandmother.
