Have a lot of respect for this man. My dad managed to contact him and asked him if he could record a message to lift the spirits of my brother who has cancer, as a birthday present. He went beyond our expectations by sending us a video recording of himself presenting a heartfelt message, showing that he cares about his fans and truly wants my brother to keep going strong. What a great batman and even better human.
That's true but WB would never talk about it cause that would mean that they have to admit making a mistake. Something WB rather avoids. You can call that doing a mistake too, but that's the thing. They won't.
WB: Kevin Conroy now please calm down (Kevin Conroy using Batman special movements) WB: AHHHHH!!!! Kevin Conroy: I am Batman! 😠 (WB shocked and scared)
This was back in 2018. I’d recently saw Kevin at LA Comic Con 2021, his line was packed all weekend.Even if Warner Bros. stopped using him, he’ll always draw a big crowd!
I've seen a ton of Kevin's interviews on UA-cam and he seemed like a lovely person. I hope he didn't suffer too much in the end... The world is a little darker knowing Batman is no longer with us. Rest In Peace Kevin, and thank you for everything 🙏
So because WB had no communication between its development teams, a very easily avoidable leak was done because their own employees didnt know there was more going on, and its Kevin's fault? Seems fair.
Wb is garbage, they lost my respect when swampthing was cancelled, sure that’s a different property, but the least they could’ve done is prevent the show from going bankrupt
@@primusfan87 WB definitely has some issues going on at the executive level. Not sure I'd call them garbage though, when they get out of their own way they release quality games, tv and movies. Swamp Thing is a great example of that, that show rocked - but executives pulled the plug before it had a chance to even finish a season.
Actors are expected to say "I don't know", whenever presented with a question they aren 100% sure about So if he wasn't sure that Arkham Knight was being released, he should have just shrugged and left. Would have saved a lot of trouble.
That was so shitty of WB, they should’ve told Kevin that there was going to be a Arkham Origins so he wouldn’t get mixed up, considering how many panels he goes to they should’ve known he’d get a question like that, and then they seriously try and ban him from comic cons?! Bunch of idiots thank God AT&T is in charge of things now
@@trashygamer7014 Kevin konroy has voiced Batman apparently for over 30 years. He’s voiced longer than majority of Batman fans have been alive. I’d say they’re justified to stop being interested in dc if they kick the official face of batman
Yeah if that no Comic-Con rule actually went through the backlash would have been so bad that they would probably have backed down anyway honestly. You can't just stop supporting Kevin Conroy at Comic-Cons. The man is built for them and I don't know a person alive that dislikes the man. He would have gotten so much vocal support.
WB's response seems pretty excessive, it's not like they made the game to not tell people about it. Let's face it Kevin Conroy has done more for WB & Batman than most people ever will.
Was playing Multiverses with my daughter. Just hearing his voice, along with the nice score of the game really made me miss him lots today. He was so good to my daughter when we met him. He did Batman’s voice and asked her for help to stop the Joker. Hearing one of my heroes do that for my daughter just blew my mind. A couple of months later, he died. 😔 RIP sir.
I remember when this happened- it was early/mid 2013, not long after the game had been announced (like Kevin said). Knight wouldn’t be properly announced until a year later. But in all that time, thanks to Kevin’s slip up, everyone knew that Rocksteady’s next project would be a proper Arkham game, with Kevin returning. It wasn’t his fault, but yep... it was basically an informal announcement.
@@gobgaming2725 Rocksteady could’ve been making a new game in between City and Knight- maybe they wanted a short break from Batman. I know that’s what some people thought. This, however, confirmed that it would be the third proper Arkham game,
I mean this guy is Batman. I'm kind of pissed at wb for not showing any respect/love towards a legend like him. So what you messed up just be more careful next time please!
I am so happy I've met this man, he was cool as hell. I figured I was just getting a autograph, and then he asks, "you want a photo?" Um..hell yes. Also happy I finally at one point had my phone ready for him to say that iconic line and record it. And we know the line.
Was threatened to be fired at my warehouse job on my Monday back because I was doing something my boss praised me for doing on the friday before basically corporations will find anyone to blame but themselves and all you can do is take it and use if u have the ability or just find a new job
bless his heart, he can still make us laugh and make us happy as I'm sure he forever will continue to do as we have so many great content with his presence in them (games, animations, interviews/cons etc) losing Kevin hurt and continues to hurt all barman fans and everyone who loved him... RIP legend💔
Classic WB at work lol. This kind of "leak" actually causes speculation and excitement. Plus it was pretty obvious there would be another Arkham by Rocksteady after the way City ended.
For a long time, I didn't even know that Origins didn't have Kevin Conroy as Batman until 2 years after the game was released. Roger Craig Smith did a good job. I thought it was Kevin Conroy the entire time. I don't read blogs or posts or watch video game interviews or other media when a game is going to be released. While agree that every game should have Kevin Conroy as Batman, I'll also be the first to say that when Conroy steps down, the mantle should go to Roger Craig Smith based on his work in Origins. His Batman voice is the closet to Conroy's, hands down. Warner Bros. screwed up but not telling Conroy about Origins. Why do that?
Roger was great as Batman really but there is a pretty big difference from him and kevin and since he was playing a younger Batman that is a good thing but I could definitely tell the difference ya know?
I don’t feel like Kevin can voice a young Batman at this point, his voice is to grizzled. Same with Hamill playing a young Joker. Their voices have aged too much.
@@dadtaro9202 Troy Baker is best when you want something similar to Hamill buy young sounding. Mark Hamill’s voice has aged to much to do a young joker anymore
Long story short WB is 100% at fault and Kevin had a simple misunderstanding due to WB refusing to pick up the phone to give everyone a quick heads up of hey don't spoil this cause we have 2 games being made at the same time
Love how Warner Brothers threatened to drop Kevin Conroy despite the fact that they could never let go of somebody with so much nostalgia attached to their name. Just empty threats all around. Kevin knew what power he had.
Heaviest of hearts today, after finding out that Kevin Conroy had died. Playing the Arkham and Injustice video games. What a talented man. “I am vengeance. I am the night. I AM BATMAN!”
I assume the reason they don't want things being announced early is probably because marketing's whole job is the find the "sweet-spot", where announcing it will hold the most attention, and have the most impact. That said, man we're blessed to have a guy like this in voice acting.
Does not surprise me, on mortal kombat 11 they literally didn't even call the real voice of scorpion to do the voice, he didn't even knew the game was in development. Sometimes companies shit on voice actors really bad and its sucks.
No wonder AT&T sold them to Discovery. There's a special amount of arrogant turnips at WB right now: the leak was entirely their fault for not telling Kevin about Arkham Origins and expecting him to keep up with part of their work when he is not involved in.
@@peepsgWB didn't force him away from Origins. The devs wanted a younger voice for Batman, plus Kevin was too busy with Arkham Knight so he probably wouldn't have been able to do it.
Arkham Knight wasn't announced and Kevin signed a contract stating he wouldn't reveal details of an upcoming project, hence why the phone call from WB states he's 'breach of contract.'
Correction: Some of the cast from the Arkham Trilogy reprised their roles in the Arkham Origins game. Tara Strong, Nolan North, CCH Pounder, Peter MacNicol, Grey Griffin, Mark Rolston, Maurice LaMarche, and Martin Jarvis all reprised their iconic roles for Arkham Origins. Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill were the two main Arkham trilogy voice actors who were not in Arkham Origins. However, Kevin Conroy should have been informed of the existence of Arkham Origins by the studio. The fact he was not informed was a real disservice by the studio. And they punished him for not knowing? How absurd and disrespectful.
that kind of comes down to warner bros not making sure their contractors were aware of the impending announcement of a game in the same series that they weren't used on.
That's what I was curious about of why they didn't added his voice in that Arkham origins game he should have been in it since he's the top main character for Batman's voice compares to others who couldn't get to him to making the perfect Batman and Bruce Wayne voices too
Head of Warner Bros: "Kevin, we blame you for spilling the beans on this game!" Kevin Conroy: "You fuckers didn't even tell me there even was another batman game that I wasn't involved in!!" Head of Warner Bros: "Now now, placing blame on us like isn't gonna solve anything" Kevin Conroy: " -_-.........I fucking hate you right now"
I think the reason why WB didn't use Kevin Conroy or Mark Hamill in Arkham Origins is because recording Arkham Knight spends Too much time. I don't think even in the case Kevin Conroy was aware of Arkham Origins, him and Mark could have time to do it. Arkham Origins was released in 2013, and in that period, Arkham Knight was in production, so I guess that's the real reason why
yes so WB montreal wanted a new batman game pushed out every two years but arkham knight was going to take 4 years to make so WB made arkham origins to stick to the schedule
in about 2017 or 2018 went to a con in okc he was there and i couldn’t afford to go see, but then i caught him leaving and got a picture and he was happy to talk for a bit one of my best memories
Now I see why WB was sooo desperate to replace him with others.. but it just never worked. No voice actor can be Batman other than KC. Once KC isn't on a Batman release, it flops.. with the exception of red hood and dark knight returns
I always thought he got the Arkham games confused with injustice when he announced it it was right before the first injustice game came out but turns out I was wrong lol
At one of the early Dublin Comic Cons has Kevin there but he wasn't allowed to do a QnA bit only Autographs. Warner Bros didn't want him to do a QnA in case things leak.
I find that funny they are like "oh to avoid him accidentally saying something we'll send someone to make a noise that indicates that question is possibly touchy.. totally won't just answer the question anyways" like imagine "Hey are you working on a new game" *cough cough* "uhh... can't say" like the answer then is yes since you can't say yes directly but didn't say no.. XD
Sounds like Warner Bros. is the one to blame for this situation for getting different voice actors for Origins and not making the original actors aware of Origins’ existence. If you keep your employees in a bubble and they’re asked “Are you in the next Arkham game?” and the actor asks “Did they even announce it yet?” and when fans truthfully answer yes, you can expect that the actor would be under the impression that what he’s talking about isn’t confidential at that point. But why should any of the execs care? They can blame the employees under them even if they didn’t do anything wrong. But then again, he’s the definitive voice of Batman, so it’s not like they can fire him.
My heart is broken. I’ll miss Kevin deeply.
I will always remember him as a True Gentleman.
same here my friend, i miss the batman
Same here. I really wanted to meet him.
R.I.P. Kevin Conroy. Long Live Batman.

If you keep your employees in a bubble and they’re asked “Are you in the next Arkham game?” and the actor asks “Did they even announce it yet?” and when fans truthfully answer yes, you can expect that the actor would be under the impression that what he’s talking about isn’t confidential at that point.
But why should any of the execs care? They can blame the employees under them even if they didn’t do anything wrong. But then again, he’s the definitive voice of Batman, so it’s not like they can fire him.
I feel like after the slip up WB told Rocksteady “aight, start this fucking game with ‘this is how the Batman died’”
LMAOOOOOOOO
i couldn’t get into origins just because the fact conroy wasn’t the voice in origins 😭
That's so petty.
Roger Craig Smith did a great job as Batman.
Kevin is Batman and Mark is The Joker. Period, end of debate
1:32 is that Rich Evans?
stop using him...HE IS GODDAMN BATMAN!!
I swear I heard the Rich Evans laugh
You’re with Adam West now
This man's voice is beyond God-tier.
I love Kevin Conroy so much. He looks like such a sweet guy.
