Kevin Conroy, renowned for his stint as Batman in both the excellent animated series and Rocksteady’s Arkham series, has passed away. The star was 66-years-old, and died following a short battle with cancer.
For many, Conroy is Batman, having voiced the character for all 85 episodes of the award-winning animated series’ stint, between 1992 and 1995. He continued to play the superhero right through to this very year, when he reprised the role for Warner Bros’ platform fighter, MultiVersus.
Warner Bros confirmed the actor’s death in a statement earlier today: “His iconic performance of Batman will forever stand among the greatest portrayals of the Dark Knight in any medium. We send our warmest thoughts to his loved ones and join fans around the world in honouring his legacy.”
Actors like Mark Hamill, who starred alongside Conroy as the Joker, have led tributes to the star: “Kevin was perfection. He was one of my favourite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him – his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated.”
Rocksteady co-founder Jamie Walked added on Twitter: “You were not only our Batman, but one of the kindest and most passionate people. We will miss you.”
Our thoughts go out to Conroy’s family.

My Batman.
I'd rather celebrate him than mourn him because that's what he deserves.
A titan, a giant, among voice actors. His tones will be missed and his incredible performance as Batman will never be forgotten. RIP sir, you will always have a place in our hearts.
He is my favorite Batman. I really wanted him to be Bruce in a Batman Beyond game.
Loved the animated series and his performance in the Arkham games. This year has taken some great people far too soon. RIP
Damn that sucks. I will do another playthrough of the Arkham games In his honor. Holy heartbreak batman! The dark knight has fallen. 😔
Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.
I grew up watching Batman TAS. It was my favourite show. His voice was always THE voice for Batman and Bruce. His finest was Mask of the Phantasm for me.
RIP, detective.
RIP, I really don't think there was anyone close to perfecting the Batman voice than Kevin.
Too young, very sad news. I can't here Batman speak without his iconic voice. Prayers for his family and friends.
Whenever I read comics with Batman in them, I always imagine Kevin's voice, along with Mark's for the Joker. He was my Batman, no one else came close. I will rewatch some Batman TAS and replay the Arkham games so I can experience his excellent performance again. What a legend.
I’m sure a lot of us here grew up hearing his iconic voice for Batman. RIP
My go to voice for Batman for sure and looks like he was a great human being on top of everything. I do believe he was also the first person that gave Batman and Bruce Wayne distinct different voices, RIP Batman.

The news dropped right as I was about to go to sleep for the night, truly a sad day, to me; Kevin Conroy was truly a Legend, and he'll always be my Batman, as Kevin Conroy himself said "I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!"
RIP Kevin Conroy; the one and only Dark Knight
RIP Kevin Conroy, best Batman voice ever.😭
Batman the Animated Series is an all time great and Mr Conroy was a massive part of what made it so good. That show was a big part of my childhood and I remember trying to impersonate his Batman voice on the way to school. Thank you and RIP Kevin. Best wishes to his friends and family.
So sad. 66 nowadays is too young!
His voice will forever be associated with the best portrayals of Batman!
Oh no 😔 sad news indeed
He will always be my favorite Batman to me. RIP, I hope your family and friends are doing well and will pull thru.
Way to young for anybody rest in peace.
