"Beware the Gray Ghost" has to be my favorite. The fact that the Ghost was also voiced by another Batman, while also showing some backstory in Bruce's life.
Agree with your points. In a way it had a passing of the torch feeling to it.
Easily one of the best shows ever made. So many good episodes, Heart of Ice, Mad Love, Almost Got ‘im, Beware the Gray Ghost.
This was the show that introduced me to Batman and I will be forever grateful to the show runners and the VA’s. There will never be another like Kevin Conroy.
There are few people who will leave a legacy, like Kevin Conroy. He got it. He understood who the character is and what should inspire us to be like. Batman is us. The legend in its purest form. "Almost got him," "Heart of Ice," "Over the Edge," are probably my top 3, and that's a hard question to answer.
LOVED this show growing up as a kid in the 90's, it was a golden time with X-Men & Spiderman the animated series as well 🙂 good times R.I.P Kevin ❤ and thankyou
Spider-Man*

My father passed away shortly before the premier of the show, so every episode that dealt with Bruce Wayne's parents hit deeply & Conroy's performance was always authentic to my own, like my father Kevin was taken by cancer, but I'm glad he lived a full life & didn't suffer long.
I was coming home from work when I saw it pop up on my news feed. My heart dropped and felt my eyes swell. I, then, found the VHS of Mask of the Phantasm and watched it (I haven’t seen the movie in years and was one of my favorites as a kid). I just cried when Bruce pleaded to his parent’s grave to let him let go of his vow and be happy. My heart still aches cause he was a big part of my childhood as well as others. His creativity of crafting a perfect duality for the character is unmatched. Not to mention how kind and gentle a soul he was in reality from all the interviews and testimonials from his peers. He will definitely be missed and, like many have echo since, he is our Batman.
This, X-Men, TMNT and Spider-Man. All some of the best animated series ever made.
RIP Kevin Conroy
You will be missed
There are many episodes I adore, but one of them is my favourite - Beware The Gray Ghost. You know why.
Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy.
Batman the Animated Series, Sega Genesis and SNES, Street Fighter II, Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins, prime Simpsons, all those things circa 91-94 make me nostalgic for a past I never even lived.
For all I know, maybe it sucked to be an adult back then, but it was a great time to have a childhood
Also Samurai Shodown, that game was amazing back then
Best show ever.
I used to get frustrated over the limited merchandising available at the time, especially as I had to travel a fair distance to a WB store.
The show is the definitive Batman universe for me and will never be beaten in my eyes.
Despite only meeting Kevin once at a memorabilia show, his death hit me quite hard and when Az did his tribute video it had me in tears. RIP Kevin Conroy 😢
"Deep Freeze" from season two is my favorite. When that giant robot rises out of the water to spring Mr. Freeze from prison, It was the perfect intro to an episode that just gets better as you watch. Batman's empathy for Victor Fries and the tragedy that befell Nora was still there in this second season follow-up story. The 1990's was an animation wonderland and I'm so glad I got to experience it.
Batman TAS is legendary and will be loved for many years to come, Conroy was always my Batman and always will be, I got to meet him at a convention one year and shake his hand, he was a really nice and down-to-Earth guy who talked to his fans like they were old friends. He's going to be sorely missed and I'm hoping his family will be okay.
Favorite episode: Almost Got 'im.
Kevin Conroy.
Working from home, the wife and kids gathered around our dvds and spoke lovingly of Kevin and how much we miss him. Excellent job Jeff, thank you.
Oh yeah, '92. I was about 8 or 9 when Batman hit Fox Kids and loved every minute of it.
Then when I was introduced to X-Men two months later, I had one of those "well where has this been all my life?" moments.
This series helped me deal with the death of my family members. That life goes on and that it's a bumpy road at times. I go to comic cons throughout the country. So seeing Kevin Conroy was a Joy and an honor. RIP Kevin, you'll always be my favorite Batman.
I would say there were numerous episodes that were my favorites. Ones that explored Bruce Wayne's psyche were great. Like the animated movies, ect. What was his motivation to putting on a batsuit?
I was at work when I heard that he passed away at the age of 66. Sadly my birthday was the day after his death. I just turned 60. Kevin's birthday is November 30th, he would of been 67.
This was a wonder, heartfelt tribute to Kevin Conroy and Batman:TAS. Kevin is my Batman and always will be. I always held a special place in my heart for Adam West and Michael Keaton as they were the other Batman's of my generation, but Kevin's Batman. Like you said Jeff, he is eternally the Dark Knight. OUR Dark Knight. RIP Kevin Conroy, we'll always miss you.
Very well said video about a show that changed entire industries not to mention all the lives it touched and also possibly changed. Like a fine wine I see this series only becoming better when I watch it. The epic series continues set the bar on anime.
Loved this series as a kid. I remember watching the very first episode in the 6th grade. My favorite episodes were "Christmas with the Joker", "Bane", "His Silicon Soul", "Heart of Ice" and "Feat of Clay". Unpopular opinion but my favorite version of Batman was Azrael-Batman. I was sad when Conroy passed. He was a big part of my childhood
While not my favorite. Azrael-Batman IS awesome. Its a version I would like to see return one day, maybe in an animated movie adaptation of knight fall, or as a villain in a new batman story. I dont get the flack he receives since it serves as just a dark batman who plays the role until bruce wayne returns. Much like Dick Graysons batman in the comics.
My favorite version aside from the new 52 batman series, and before crisis batman, IS batman Beyond.
Heart of Ice, hands down my favorite. I still get misty thinking about Mr. Freeze’s explanation of what he would kill for. Truly excellent writing and voice performances. So good!
1. I Am the Night
2. Kevin Conroy
3. I was working from home when I found out the news. It was heartbreaking
When he died it hit hard. Thats like losing a piece of our childhoods . Rest in piece batman
1. The 2 part episode where Batman had to help Ras al Ghul find his daughter and Robin after both were taken - he saved the entire world in that episode.
2. As corny as the movie was, I liked how Val Kilmer's take was very haunted, Bob Kane was said to have liked it. I want more Affleck though (I didn't hate Pattinson's version).
3. I had woken up getting ready for work when I saw it announced over at Dark Horizons (website)
1. Heart of Ice. 2. Conroy is Batman. While I love Adam West (for the unapologetic camp but natural good) and Michael Keaton (the brooding darkness); Conroy captures every aspects of what makes Batman as a character. 3. Last Friday morning.
I thankfully got to meet back in 2019. Glad I did before giving on the convention scene for autographs.
This show was even popular amongst my friends and I in college. It was a blast to watch.
1. I think the episode was called "Blind as a Bat", an episode where Batman goes blind. Only because it's the only one I saw on TV with my mom. It was the reruns on The Hub, now known as Discovery Kids. I also favor the episode where Joker basically tortures this guy, even after he changed his name and address, but by the end of the episode, the guy pretends to go crazy, and it freaks Joker out so much that he screams for Batman to help him. I can't remember what that episode was called.
2. In general, definitely Kevin Konroy. He's the first voice I think of when I think of Batman.
3. I was doing laundry in my house. I was scrolling through my phone when BatmanArkhamVideos posted a notification that he had passed away. I was shocked and confused, and it just came out of absolutely nowhere. Part of me is still in denial. Thank you, Kevin, for being the Batman.
That episode was called Joker's Favor, it was also the first appearance of Harley Quinn.
@@GoldenAgeGod Oh really? Wow!
To answer your first question: My favorite Batman: TAS episode will always be "Christmas with the Joker".
Boy, I did not know how lucky I was having this come out during my formative years.
Batman TAS was a portal into film noir, the gangster genre, art deco design, German expressionism and so much more that I wasn’t aware of when I first saw it as a child. I was incredibly lucky to have this influence at such an early age.
watched it a few month ago for the first time after rewatching Batman Beyond( my first contact with Batman as a child and later The Batman), was surprised how good it was, great srories, good Animation and so many good Episodes
1. Hard to say I have a favorite Episode of BTAS. I loved all them really. Though something that stood out to me was the Mask of Phantasm movie that was also part of this Universe even getting a slight mention in the last episode of Justice League Unlimited. The conflict and emotion in that film and the story was a massive contrast of something that you don't see explored much. Batman trying to deal with the idea of maybe he found an out.
2. My favorite Batman is Kevin Conroy hands down. BTAS and DCAU from the 90s and early 2000s was my childhood.
3. I was at home when I saw it on facebook and sat there for a moment and stated to my wife "well my childhood just died". BTAS and Conroy was a HUGE part of my childhood that will be missed.
Answers as follows:
1. Favorite episode. For a lot of people, this question is a tough one. I will say, "Heart of Ice," although several are a close second. Perhaps it's the ever-hopeful element in me that still loves, "It's Never Too Late." That episode not only showed how two people along the same path can choose differently, but had a genuine redemption story. And it wasn't saccharine about it, either. The first "Babydoll" always gets a mention with me. The breakdown at the end it palpable. "I just want to be real." And of course, "Grey Ghost" and "Batman on Trial."
Although I will also add to me what it the quintessential animated "Batman" moment comes from the Justice League Unlimited episode, "Epilogue." Any fan who's seen it knows exactly what I'm talking about -- the death of Ace. In that world, even the majority of the Justice League agreed they should poison Ace. Batman seemingly accepts the heavy burden, but reveals he never intended to harm Ace in any way. Why? Because he and Ace knew each other way too well. In a slightly better world, they would have been longtime friends. This moment was all they had, and Bruce / Batman was determined to give this poor tortured soul at least one moment of friendship, even if everyone else had given up.
That is Batman -- the mortal man who never gives up.
2. Who is my favorite "Batman"? You know, I can't answer that one. I will agree Kevin Conroy defined that role, because with him it was not just a one-and-done role. It was a mission.
3. I was at work. One of my teammates flashed the message on our private chat. I sighed. I took a moment. I gave a moment of bittersweet thanks. And sadly, I had to push it from my mind and focus on the two-dozen tech support requests I had to answer. I reminded of the chorus of a song I heard once long ago.
"But there's bills to pay, and kids to love, and a house to make a home.
Because I'm older now.
And I ain't got time to cry."
I can still dream. I can still honor the legacy of what is good. And I can still encourage others to do the same.
Good night.
Excellent summary - this series is an absolute triumph. In Canada, episodes of BTAS air on Sunday night on Cartoon Network (along with STAS, and YJ). We also get 4 consecutive episodes on Monday nights, and for now, 4 episodes on Wednesday night. I sit and watch 'em all as often as I can. It's just such a good show that captures everything cool and good about Batman.
We will forever miss him
A lot of super deep voices sound gravely and grating. Conroy had the smoothest buttery deep voice i've ever heard. Its like a lullaby. RIP
1: Strange secret of Bruce Wayne
2: Btas: Kevin Conroy.. of course.
3: was playing Destiny 2 with friends and browsing Ifunny. It broke me and I got really sad. Was a ginormous part of my childhood. Will be so GREATLY missed.
1) Almost Got 'Em / Showdown (tie for me) 2) Kevin Conroy 3) was on Reddit when I saw the news. Time for a Batman TAS rewatch. Cheers!
The other amazing strong point of this show was the emphasis on the writing and voice actors, to the point of of comparison to old radio shows/plays. As beautiful as the VISUAL aspect of the show was, one can easily close your eyes or step away and still be immersed in the production, so strong the vocal performances of ALL the cast. THIS (BTAS, STAS, JLTAS, JLUTAS) set the standard for the voice I hear when I read comics. RIP KC *sniff*
Favorite TAS episode is “Trial”. Conroy will always be Batman to me. I found out about his death scrolling through a group on Facebook and saw the news. It hurt. Still does.
My favorite episode is a tie between "Over the Edge" and "Growing Pains." Kevin Conroy is the definitve Batman, everyone else is an actor or voice actor playing the role of Batman. And I was at home when I heard the news. As Honest Trailers said, this Batman forever.
Almost Got him has got to be my favorite episode. I remember this was the first show NOT to identify what it was at the beginning in contrast to shows like Transformers and X Men, but you still knew this is Batman. I agree that Kevin Conroy portrayal of Batman was the most iconic but also varied. His version of Batman was grim yes, but we also saw Batman tease Alfred, and have more variety in his emotions than any other version. I was at home when the news broke about Conroys death. R..I.P. Kevin Conroy
He was beloved
He was the best
HE WILL ALWAYS BE BATMAN!!!!!!!
RIP: KEVIN CONROY! For the Bat signal will shine brightly in your honor.
1- almost got him 2-kevin Conroy 3-nov 11 breakfast after work, I was devastated that we would not hear him one more time
I ran a comic convention a few years ago and he was one of our guests along with a pre aquaman Mamoa. I met him but never took a picture. I'm sad I never did but I suckered up the courage to take a picture with Timm years later. Still, this one hurts. I can't even read or see any art of batman without hearing Conroy.
I'm re-watching the show since Kevin passed and the animation is gorgeous. I remember when I re-watched the '90s Marvel shows, the animation was stiff and limited. It's amazing how well the animation still holds up. The Blu-Ray restoration really did the show justice.
God lit the Bat Signal in heaven. There is no other explanation for his passing.
I was at work when I found Kevin Conroy passed. To me their isn’t a better Batman. He is the only Batman
“I am Vengeance. I am the Night. I am Batman.” I loved this show so much. Kevin, Rest In Peace.
That show was epic. It is amazing that it is still holding on.
Also:
1-Heart of Steel (both parts really)
2-Tricky... if we talk story-wise (which iteration of Bats ) it would be post Knightfall Batman. Retraining and facing Azrael.
Voice--wise ? Kevin.
3-At work. In fact near time I was packing from office... well it did not sip in the same day and still is hard to believe.
Keaton’s my favorite live action Batman, but Kevin Conroy is the DEFINITIVE Batman and that’s not even up for debate.
Kevin’s work will be watched and rewatched by the next generation who watches this ground breaking animated show.
I’m glad he was able to receive the praise and love while he was still with us for his amazing work on the show. RIP
1) Riddler's debut episode, the ending "how much would you pay for a good nights sleep"
- Poison Ivy's family episode where she made a fake plant family
- The Invisible man's episode where experimental invisibility cloth is driving a divorced dad insane while he's trying to see his daughter.
- Harley's bad day, where Harley is free and due to misunderstanding a situation she flips out and gets sent back to Arkham
- Joker's millions, Joker gets a inheritance that's 90% counterfeit and freaks out about "I'm crazy enough to take on Batman but the IRS? HA!"
- The one where Joker picks on some random fat guy, drives him crazy and the end Joker screams for BATMAN! when it looks like "the great Joker taken out with his own bomb and some random guy"
- Batmans "death" where Batman is "killed" by some mousy nobody and Joker gives Batman and the nobody a kazoo funeral in the chemical plant, the nobody gets saved/sent to prison and everyone respects him for killing the bat.
- Grey Ghost great episode of Batman and Batman 66's Adam We teaming up.
and a whole lot more honestly those are just the ones from top of my head.
2) Keaton Batman as he's the only version of Batman who can "scratch" a cd like a vinyl record.
3) Home like I hear about all celeb deaths.
“There’s no going back. You’ve changed things; forever.” 😎
Favorite episode is “Almost go him”
Great breakdown, this was a great video.
I actually got to meet Kevin Conroy at Louisville Comic-con, when I first saw I thought he was big and buff, boy I was wrong, what was funny is that he was cracking jokes about getting high in high school (lol) he signed my season 1 BTAS dvd, he asked if he wanted to put me name on it, I said no that's okay, looking back I wished I could have told him "thanks for being the voice of my childhood",
favorite BTAS episodes
1.)Forgotten
2.)Night of the Ninja
3.)Day of the Samurai
4.)Lock-Up
5.)Mad Love
I love how BTAS continued the Anachronism Stew anesthetic of the Burton films of an alternate version of contemporary times where everyone dresses like its the 40s that the films dropped and imo should return. The look encourages wild mass guessing, like my friends theory that the reason people dress that way is that maybe its a near future Gotham enduring a new Ice Age,hence wide brim hats and long coats making a practical return,and the regression to 40s fashion and Art Deco(my present day interpretation of his theory incoming)was because these looks and style evoked a sense of comfort, much the Galaxy Express 999 designed to look like an old fashioned steam locomotive to give those departing Earth permanently a comforting sense of nostalgia. And I agree as for the moving image adaptations of Batman a 30 year old half hour animated series proved to be and remains the pinnacle adaptation of Batman.
I loved "almost got em", I can't remember the name but the one where he goes on trial in arkham, "Mad Love" and so many others. I was sitting scrolling on my phone in the living room and gasped. Then immediately just started balling. My bf asked me what was wrong and I said Kevin Conroy died. :( A true legend. RIP my batman.
Joker's Favor would be my favorite if i had to chose. "There's your two cents. Now what are you going to do to me?" RIP Kevin
1. Heart of Ice or Almost Got Em
2. Kevin Conroy
3. At home cruising a forum and a bunch of people were announcing it and some wondering if it was a shitty joke. Sadly it was not fake news, still in denial partially that he is gone.
Tim Burton may have make Batman a serious character. But the animated Batman series with Kevin Conroy as the voice lead character of the show helped to innovate Batman into being the biggest selling DC superhero of its history. So don’t be sadden of Kevin’s passing. But be glad that Kevin made Batman for the modern age
I never watch Batman The Animated Series when it first aired in 1992 I didn't exist until five years later in 1997. When Kevin Conroy passed away I was in my room playing Dead Rising 2 when he died I was shocked I didn't expect him to passed away.
All I can say is good luck to the voice actors who try to live up to Kevin Conroy
I loved Harley Quinn's introduction and any episode with her in it was a treat. Conroy will never be replaced in my opinion and I think I was watching another video when a notification popped up saying Conroy RIP. At first I thought it was a joke but quickly I realized it was all to true.
I remember an interview with the great Kevin Conroy not long after the 9/11 attacks. He was in New York volunteering at a first responders soup break kitchen. After making the soup he got on the P.A system and began the mantra "I am vengeance, i am the night....." His voice was instantly recognisable and the break room broke out in cheers. RIP Kevin
1. Can’t pick just one, sorry. But if we expand into movies (and continuing with Conroy) Batman Beyond Return of the Joker is pretty high up there.
2. Conroy hands down. If I have to move into live action…..Batfleck
3. At home. On my phone.
4. I know there’s no 4, but I have to share. The series was out when I was in high school (graduated 95) and school didn’t let out until 4:30 (east coast). A classmate used to bring a portable TV (which was about the size of a small toaster oven with an antenna) to class. Last period he’d plug it in and we’d watch Batman (we finished our work first of course). Good times.
Great video. I was a traveling construction worker most of my adult life. I didnt know anything about this show. I recently got hbo/max, and they have tons of animated DC movies. I've almost watched them all, and was wondering what to watch when i finished them. I guess i now know. Tyvm.
Everyday we move further and further from the 90’s.
Jesus, so many episodes I’d have to rewatch the whole series to find a favorite.
Off the top of my head, there’s an episode where Harley Quinn is released (she proudly shows people her “sane” certificate), and goes shopping, but the dress she buys has a security tag still attached so the alarm goes off. PTSD kicks in because she thinks people will never believe she didn’t steal it (I think someone in the store tries to explain what’s going on to her, but she’s stuck in what she thinks is going on), so she I think steals a car and it’s Harley vs the world.
But how it wraps up is Batman doesn’t treat her like he usually would, and even returns her dress to her. Stunned that he would treat her like she wasn’t the criminal she was, she says something, I forget what. Batman says “I had a bad day once, too.”
Just the story, the characters, the acting, how it ends….that’s part of the core of who Batman is to me.
(I think this is mostly how the episode went. This is all from memory, though I think I’ll watch it later since I’m thinking about it now.)
I watched Mask of the Phantasm last night and I don't think any other series before or since has understood Bruce Wayne better than the animated series. RIP Kevin Conroy.
I was two years old when this show debuted, and it instantly took its hold on me. Resulting in me having my mom make a homemade cape. Walking around with it, in Thomas the Tank Engine slippers, and a plaid shirt saying "I'm not Kyle, I'm Batman!" And to this day, Batman still holds an effect on me and the characters I make. Thank you Bruce Timm and especially thank you Kevin Conroy, Rest In Peace!
I grew up on this show and i still cant get enought of it to this day. Still my favorite animated batmen, and iv eard it from AZ HellVs Babyface's video. R.I.P Kevin Conroy 🙏🙏
1. Beware the Grey Ghost
2. Probably Michael Keaton, but it's hard to choose between him a KC
3. At home in front of my laptop
Damn it's hard to admit Kevin's gone.
Great video, only realized halfway through that it was a homage to Mr. K. Conroy.
It’s hard to narrow down but I’ll go with the ones that came to mind first. Mad Love, Perchance to Dream, and Over the Edge. Also Feat of Clay.
10:00 Razorfist's recent Arkham Knight stream is how I found out. If the standard enthusiast press were more than gossip rags, hit pieces and fluff jobs, I could have found out from them but I do not look to zombies to get death notifications.
Twoface part 1 and 2
Kevin Conroy, Rino Romano, Will Friedle and Diedrich Bader animated.
Christian Bale, Robert Pattinson, Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton Live action.
I've always kept Animated Batman and Live action Batman seperate from each other as they are two different types of media.
I was on the train visting a friend when I read about Conroy's passing. when i came home I put one Batman and Superman Public Enemies, Then since I was home sick all last week, I binged watched Batman Beyond. And now as it's sunday night I am wartching the animated series.
Actually contrary to what some believe, Spider-Man TAS was NOT under alot of restrictions. It had no more restrictions than any other cartoon of the time. Alot were choices made by the showrunner John Semper Jr.
There's honestly too many good episodes to name but if I had to pick one it would be "The Gray Ghost". It was a wholesome "passing the torch" episode from Adam West to Kevin Conroy at a time when it seemed everyone wanted to forget about his take on the character post-Burton.
LOVE the interview with Kevin where he told the story of an acting coach who told him snarkily "You will NEVER get a job on your voice alone" BWAAA HAAA HAAA!
Amazing video. They should be paying you for this documentary style vid.
Robins reckoning, it gave me appreciation for robin long before teen titans ever did, and it did pay off later when he became nightwing. It also showed a ton of flashbacks of his life before robin went to college. And obv the animated series is my fav as it was the perfect timing as I was about 10 when it was airing. The first batman movie i sadly saw was batman and robin and i didnt get to see the adam west one or the very dark one I was just too young. So animated series was the best for me. All the new batman well im too old for that at this point lol.
Man i can't pick just one episode there where so many that where great. Kevin is my Batman forever and I was at work when I found out and it crushed me. I was a teenager when BTAS came out and it was wonderful. I'm 46 now and I cried when I heard the news.

BETS BATMAN EVER
RIP MR KAVIN CONROY
KAVIN CONROY I IS THE BEST BATNAN/ BROUSE WCAINE
Great and well deserved tribute 👏
It still holds up 30 years later.
The episode where the mad hatter puts him in a perfect world and he kills himself because he’d rather be dead than not batman because he is batman more than he ever was bruce wayne is my favorite, the levels of character development in the show is unreal
It was always night in the series - that has always stunned me, gave depth.
Vaguely remember from my childhood a younger, child Robin but something dark happened to him to leave him insane - I remember it was disturbing but not much else of it
I worked on this series as a session violinist! A real privilege!
I was in my mid 20's would come home from work and watch the animated show .It was defiantly not just for kids. I still play the Arkham games . Guess i got old just never grew up.
Somehow I knew these guys would talk about this in regards to Kevin Conroy’s passing
Unbelievable that UK doesn't have this on streaming
Also great video. I enjoyed that it was on a subject l really love and party politics were left out. It's on something who most of your audience appreciates whether left or right. RiP Kevin Conroy.
RIP Kevin Conroy the best Batman voice
Tiger tiger, Kevin Conroy, my kids birthday party
Grew up injecting
Batman The Animated Series directly into my Bane veins.
Joe the Announcer: And that hero...is on another network.
If it wasn't three years too early (1966), I might speculate on choice of Adam West partly for his physical similarities to Neil Armstrong. The whole hero thing, and most Americans still held true to, and were proud of, its founding principles.
I sat on my dad's leg as we watched the show on Fox. My daughter sat on my leg as we watched the show on blu-ray
Beware the Grey Ghost has to be the best, cause Adam West voiced grey ghost, the episode is about batman reliving his youth watching a cartoon really connects as an adult and in the episode batman revives an old loved series which also sadly mirrors reality the real where stars in hit tv shows often can't find work due to casters not being able to see past their previous roles.
Personal choice, Heart of Ice.
I found out from, heels vs Babyface
Rip Kevin.
I know you mentioned Roger Moore. He was not my Bond because I'm older. But if you have never seen the B/W series the Saint. WOW, you will have a whole new appreciatation of Roger. He was AMAZING in it.
