R.I.P. Kevin Conroy (Voice of Batman on Batman: The Animated Series)

Kevin's gone, Mark says no more Joker...

I mean, technically, Mark could’ve recorded that since Joker and Kevin’s Batman are interacting in that scene. It’s still a beautiful way to go out.

EDIT - Wait, that was Mark Hamill!

Yeah man. I still think about this often. A childhood great.

A real RIP for a real one

I think one of the more interesting things about Kevin Conroy that I found out recently while watching a BTS featurette on Batman/Superman: Public Enemies is that when he went to audition for Batman: The Animated Series, he actually aimed to voice Harvey Bullock and even had a tough guy, New York accent prepared that he perfected from his days performing in theater. It was Andrea Romano (voice casting GOAT) who persuaded him to audition for Batman instead. So, essentially, we got him as Batman by a stroke of luck.

Andrea Romano literally changed voice acting history with that decision!
