- The aha moment that clicked for Kevin Conroy and helped him connect deeper with the character of Batman, securing his long tenured role voicing the hero.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Kevin Conroy (Batman Beyond, Justice League) joins me this week to share how he’s battled with anxiety throughout his life, stemming from a harsh upbringing in a combative household that no child should be raised in. Kevin goes on to talk about his different family dynamics and the impact that his abusive, alcoholic father had on his future. We also get into Kevin’s evolution in acting from Juilliard to Batman, his experience living with the one and only Robin Williams, and his thoughts on Batman reprisals in Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Kevin is Batman. Mark is Joker. Case permanently closed.
Amen!
@@Craxin01 :)
Absolutely this.
I HAVE to agree! 😂 😀
End of story
He's my Batman. He's always going to be my Batman. And I can never thank him enough for being Batman that defined my childhood.
Keep it in your pants, mate.
@@suicidesquid3581 are you assuming my sexual attraction to another man? Wow bro. This is 2021. Real cool of you.
@@thefatman69dude I'm the same way dude. Kevin basically made me the nerd I am lol.
@@froztbite15 just like how mark Hamill is the joker for me. When I read DC comics. I hear Batman's voice in my head as Kevin and joker in my head as mark Hamill lol
I'd love to say it's Michael and Jack, but I can't... I agree, it's Kevin and Mark.
RIP Kevin Conroy!!! You are the Batman that we all wanted, but also what we needed!!!
He may be gone, but he'll forever be the definitive Batman.
Kevin was the Batman that we deserve.
The fact that he's gone now doesn't feel real. We love you and miss you, Kevin. Thanks for defining many of our childhoods.
Kevin Conroy is, HANDS DOWN, THE best Batman actor. I like Christian Bale, Adam West had his charms, even Ben Affleck was pretty damned good. But, you put Kevin Conroy and Mark Hammill together as Batman and Joker, and you cannot look away.
Exactly Ben affleck is good for justice league but hands down your judgments are spot on mark hammill is also the trickster on the flash oddly similar to the joker voice overs but it’s a nice Easter egg
Kevin Conroy was and will always be the real Batman! No one can replace him. Rest In Peace Kevin. 😢
Rest In Peace, Kevin. I know you said I wouldn’t have to say it but thank you for being my Batman. 🖤💛
Most people see Luthor talking to Batman, many don't know Flash is talking to Batman.
"I have no idea who this is"
Which just makes that episode where Flash and Luthor had a mind swap even more confusing. 🤣
R.I.P. the great Kevin Conroy the voice of Batman, forever in the hearts of an entire generation.
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy
The DEFINITIVE VOICE OF BATMAN
Amen!
When I think of a dark, tragic, serious character as a narrator for tough moments in my life, I hear Batman’s voice, and it is ALWAYS Kevin’s voice. He is JUST that epic!
Conroy is much beloved, not just because of his steller voicework but because of his real life self. He's so humble with it and so down to earth whenever you see him at conventions, so happy talking and interacting with fans.
Man I felt like it was a big mis opportunity for me to meet Kevin Conroy and sadly I never will.
RIP, Kevin…you were the voice of a generation and the gold standard for the character
The Arkham games, truly a masterpiece.
Knight definitely was not a masterpiece. No boss fights,too much Batmobile, and having to do side stuff to get the proper ending hurt that game big time.
@@dr.loomis4221 I never thought I would hate the Batmobile... until I played Knight.....
@@dr.loomis4221 Arkham knight is a masterpiece
@@Slice2099 Far from it
@@dr.loomis4221 Just because you don’t feel like doing the side missions doesn’t make the game not a masterpiece also there are boss battles
Conroy for life can't believe it'll be 30 years next year of him being batman that's crazy it's like the 90"s were yesterday
Kevin Conroy IS my Batman, just as Mark is my Joker.
I was 8 or 9 when this series came about.
I knew about the Adam West era and knew Michael Keaton, but Kevin... Kevin is My Batman.
Kevin is and always will be my favorite Batman
I'm listening to his speaking voice and just trying to wrap my head around how on this green Earth he managed to be the single most intimidating Batman ever. Talent, ladies and gentlemen.
Just wanted to say that the only good story I've heard coming out of 9/11 is the one of Conroy volunteering and getting on the mic saying, "I am vengeance... I am the night... I. Am. BATMAN!" And he's always going to be for a lot of people.
love how honest he was about the business aspect
Conroy - the best Batman. The best collaboration on a series, video game and multiple spin offs. No one has brought the measure to Batman more than Kevin Conroy
RIP Greatest Batman voice of all time.
Masterclass with Kevin Conroy
It was heartwarming seeing he never got sick and tired of or burnt out from voicing Batman
Probably cause he fell in love with the character, and he loved working with Mark Hamill, they always worked together.
When people asked me who was my fav Batman, they expected me to say one of the movie/tv actors (Adam, Ben, Chris, Val, Michael, Robert …not so much George). I shocked them when I say Kevin Conroy. They forgot about the 90s animation series and then suddenly start talking about their fav episodes. Being a voiceover is also being an actor. Just because you are not in a costume or in front of a camera doesn’t mean your talent isn’t recognized. Kevin embodied what Bruce Wayne truly was. I think Bill Finger would have been proud to have seen Kevin portray his creation. I was hoping he would play Bruce if they did a Batman Beyond movie but now I have to keep imagining it. You are vengeance… you are the night… you are and always will be Batman. 🦇
When I think about Batman, Kevin Conroy is the person that comes to my mind. Period.
Rest in peace kevin I'm so distraught that you passed away
Greatest Batman actor ever.
No one else successfully pulled off Batman and Bruce Wayne at the same time.
Rest in Piece Kevin Conroy :(
Thank you for this 🙏
Nearly 2 Years Ago We Lost Our Batman
R.I.P Kevin Conroy
You Are Vengeance You Are The Night You Are Batman
You Are My Childhood Hero You Were Like a Farther To Me
Rest In Peace My Dark Knight
Rest Well Caped Crusader
RIP Kevin Conroy
Kevin Conroy will always be THE voice of Batman for me. He still owns the role! Andrea Romano is a legend and has such a good ear when looking for voices
His death was one of the few celebrity deaths that really hurt. He was someone I grew up with and will always remember. RIP Kevin Conroy
The first time I saw Kevin Conroy was in a televised production of A Midsummer Night's Dream performed in NY's Central Park's outside Delacourt Theatre but I didn't know it at the time as this was before Batman. Thankfully I had recorded it that night decades ago and it's interesting to see him doing the theater that he loves.
I hope they have Kevin Conroy and Christine Baranski work together again in future project.
Still can't believe he's gone
You really need to be special to bring comicbook characters to life, whether voice only or live action! Right, Chadwick?
Kevin Conroy is the best Batman voice you'll ever hear.... his voice work on Batman the Animated series always gives me chills.
Rest In Peace bruh you are a legend
Every time I hear Kevin Conroy's voice I immediately want to go play Arkham Knight. Those games wouldn't have been the same for me without him and Mark Hamill and that tie to my childhood.
This is batman. No matter what when I hear the newer batman actor he does not hold a light to Kevin Conroy. Just like Adam West will always be the original but Kevin is Batman.
To be honest, when I think about Batman scenes in any canon, or reading comics - the voice in my head defaults to Conroy. Not on purpose - but Conroy is just the default Batman voice for me. My brain will just overwrite the memory and slap his voice on it. The same happens with Hamill when thinking of the Joker, with the exception of Ledger in DK. He was just that good. But still - this is a thing that happens with me.
I loved his voice. It made Batman more real to me. 💙💙💙 Kevin Conroy
Kevin Conroy = Perfect Bruce Wayne and Batman voice
Mark Hamill = Perfect Joker Voice
I'll be honest here; Keaton and Affleck comes a good tie in second place for being able to dual-voice Batman in live action. Keaton practically lowered his voice down an octave when in the Batsuit in the 1989 Batman film. I know they gave Affleck a voice modulator either in post or in filming - but the way I got sold on him as Bats was during that scene where his armored suit was banged up to hell and his voice modulator kept on malfunctioning - Aflleck can be heard (SANS voice effect) to still be able to growl out his lines without having to sound like he's got throat cancer. He even changed his vocal pitch when OUT of costume as Bruce Wayne to sound a little more "vapid", nearly the same way Keaton does as Bruce Wayne. I didn't see that on Bale and Nolan's take on Batman. That was the weakest thing about the Nolan Batverse imo. FFS, he's got LUCIUS FOX as his Q to his Bond and they couldn't come up with a vocal scrambler/modulator for his batsuit? Bale's Batman has the suit, the tank, and the gadgets - but a vocal modulator was too "unrealistic" for them? As for Kilmer and Clooney, they never even bothered to differentiate their voices in and out of the costume. The jury is still out on Pattinson until his film is released.
Problem is they overused the voice synth. A proper use would be something like Arrow where it's used, but the voice can influence where the digital voice goes. Keaton is still the best live action one.
Afleck was awful.
Ben Affleck doesn't have his own Batman voice though, it's purely computer edited.
@@hmw4166 Actually, he does. Check out the scene in BvS where his armor is busted up and his edited, scrambled voice actually stops - you can easily tell it was his own unedited voice once the vocal scrambler stopped working, yet deeper in octave. Also check the scenes where is plays as his Bruce Wayne "public persona", he naturally pitches his voice an octave higher in public than when he's alone with Alfred and the other league members. There's a video floating around in RUclips after BvS was done showing in theaters and moved to DVD/Blu-Ray where a RUclipsr was showing exactly that in his vlog - unless WB copyright-claimed it despite it being fair use, it should still be up.
No Kevin, if you were born today, you'd still be casted as Batman. Across all multiversw, you're the only Batman. RIP and thank you so much for making my childhood memorable ❤
How would you know? You know how today's movies and tv shows like to star cast A list celebrities when it comes to making animated projects
@@bigmacintosh1766 ok
@@taksiobs ok? That's it? You think finding a voice acting role is that easy? Kevin would struggle to get the role of Batman.
Kevin is the reason I love Batman so much
He’s Batman! Period! No other cartoon/video game is the same without Kevin Conroy. So when ranking Batman actors, Kevin is #1! And Mark Hamill is the Joker.
When he talks my brain starts placing the cowl on him.
A good majority of face actors can’t give a vocal performance and it take the audience out of the story they are trying to tell. For the few that can, know their craft, who respect their art that’s what independent producers need get these ladies and gentlemen to work.
RIP Kevin Conroy....
Rest in peace you were a legend!
R.I.P Kevin Conroy. I will never forget you. You are Batman. Forever.
What a joy to watch this with you.
Rest In Peace to Kevin Conroy
Nov 30 1955- Nov 10 2022
66. I’m going to really, really miss you.❤️😞
Kevin is Batman to an entire generation. When people around my age (31) read Batman stuff, they are doing so in Kevin's voice. Same goes for Joker in Mark's voice.
Rest in peace, kEVIN.. You were awesome. You will be remembered..
RIP I needed to come back to this video with the recent news
this hits harder so much more now that he is gone RIP
RIP Good sir, forever the voice of the dark Knight and countless other childhood characters❤️
Kevin Conroy was a very awesome Batman.
My screen is kinda broken so it's all back over Kevin's face. All I can imagine is an animated version of a movie about the guy who played Batman in like a 70 sequel movie
Conroy and Hamill . Best
RIP KEVIN CONROY
RIP to Kevin the true Batman 😭
He doesn't think he'd get the role today? That is tragic. I swear to BOB, that if they don't cast him as Bruce for the live-action Batman Beyond, I will scream. He already killed it as KC Bruce in the CW Crisis of Infinite Earths. He's the right age for Batman Beyond's Bruce. He already _WAS_ that Bruce. And now he _looks and sounds_ like that Bruce. It's the obvious choice. How could they _not?!_
They should have made a live action with Kevin and mark. Like a Batman beyond live action where Kevin could have played the older semi retired Batman since he’s not the giant 300 pound guy the character is. Would have totally worked.
I feared this day would come rip Kevin
He was brilliant as the voice of Batman. RIP Kevin Conroy.
RIP Kevin, you were the GOAT
lex luthor and bruce wayne have a conversation
Wally West and Bruce Wayne have a conversation :D
Rip to the legend
sadly he is right
too many voice actors dont get work because they dont have names
and it hurts the animation
By pure chance, he became a legend. RIP to THE Batman Kevin Conroy! :(
RIP Kevin 🦇 🖤🩶
Kevin, buddy, pal, mi amigo...Strong intro on Am I Blue with a last verse that hurt my bones. I'm a singing coach in real life, I sing in Hollywood. I would very much like to share a proper outro on Am I Blue cuz dude: Am I Blue was featured as a song in many cartoons in the 1930s which were shown on t.v. in the 1950s and so the song was very close to my heart and it felt like being in love with Betty Boop. No charge.
We all miss you so much. Hope you’re resting in the big bat cave in the sky. 💚💛🩵🤍
Kevin Conroy a Legend
We love Kevin. Thank you!
RIP
I grew up with his Batman. Hell,you guys' Justice League. Because as far as I'm concerned Michael. You,Kevin,George,Susan,Phil,Carl and Maria are MY Justice League
Can't believe I forgot John Glover did the voice of the riddler in batman animated series with Kevin Conroy
Batman and Lex Luthor together, how I didn't know about this?
I wish they would do a "live action" Batman movie with Conroy in mocap.
They keep teasing Batman Beyond. He's the obvious choice! Hell, he could be the first guy to be the character in both animated and in Live Action. His cameo in Crisis of Infinite Earths was great. They had better ask him if they ever decide to make that movie.
@@pixel_glitched I'll take it!
Batman = The greatest super hero ever!
Legend. Always
You'll always be Batman, Kevin. Rest in peace...
He's basically the Christopher reeve of voicing batman. OG
The only voice of Batman period
Incredible.
The guy changed how Batman would b played forever.
Rip Kevin Conroy so sad
Rip.
Julliard ? 😳 That laugh . 😳 I've always loved my laugh until hearing him laugh. 😳
What he said about stunt casting is exactly why the Mario Bros movie is going to suck.
Barry Allen chats with Bruce Wayne.
Wally West*
The official voice of Batman. If you don't hear Conroy when you read the comics, then you ain't READING Batman.
batman is a new yorker?!?! awesome.
I'm hearing batman get interviewed
The flash and batman in one video
We all love Andrea ❤️
RIP.
