#kevinconroy #batman #batmantheanimatedseries - Розваги
I remember Conroy relating a story about helping out in the aftermath of 9/11 in the kitchen. One of the other helpers recognized the voice and got really excited yelling "Guys guys, we got Batman volunteering in the kitchen!" When no one believed him Conroy belted out in his Batman voice "I am vengeance, I am the night! I. Am. BATMAN!" and of course brought the house down. I always liked that story.
The people in that kitchen must’ve needed to hear that. Kevin’s Batman was and is an inspiration…
Wow. The possibility that a hero can still be heard in one of the darkest hours of American history must have raised many hopes and spirits back then.
@@siempra78 -That is the true powers of super heroes, the ability to shine during the darkest hours and act as beacon in the darkness and led others through strife.
And these are all NYPD, and NYFD...and someone shouted out "Holy SHIT! IT IS BATMAN!!"
It's moments like that which really make you feel like a superhero
"In my mind, I don't call myself Bruce." It was the best vision of Batman for me.
And I love Terry's response "But that's my name now"
That put me on the floor.
That's a ridiculous misunderstanding of Batman, pervasive in virtually everything post TAS.
Bruce is Batman, and vice-versa. One is not more real than the other.
At the same time, Batman on the beat is as much of a mask as Bruce at the office.
@@JanetStarChild It really is not. Batman is the real man, Bruce Wayne is the public face he puts on. There are some interpretations where this isn't true (Nolanverse springs to mind) but even going back to Adam West and the silver age I'd argue that it's still the case for the "main" Batman.
At most I'd say that neither Bruce or Batman are real and maybe the only time we see the real man is when Batman is talking to the Batfamily or Superman (though Superman is heavily continuity dependent).
@@kevinedie4119 "Tell that to my subconscious!"
I've never cried over the death of a celebrity before. His animated Batman was defined by compassion and humanity, the things about Batman that have always offered me comfort and happiness.
I don't remember either, my partner and I were really distraught. I regret not having tried to send him fan mail or something. Shortly after he died, someone reposted a video Kevin had made to comfort somebody who had just lost their grandparent. I cried sooo much. He was such an amazing guy.
I cried every time I thought about it for weeks. This hit me hard like losing a close family member
I met Kevin Conroy once in a convention many years ago. I took my collection of Batman DVDs and he graciously signed them all. He was very nice. All I kept thinking their is Bruce Wayne right in front of me. One of the best interactions with any celebrity I have ever had. He will always be my favorite Batman. Thank you Kevin.
Thank you for making this video. Conroy was a man of dignity, empathy, and heroic character. As a small addition to your great overview - pay attention to the cadence shift Conroy uses when shifting between Bruce and Batman. Bruce's cadence is flirtatious, trailing, rising and falling. Batman's cadence is measured always and halting between short thoughts. This is the kind of careful character building detail a true actor finds and delivers. RIP Kevin. The Batman we needed AND deserved!
He will always be my Batman. As a young woman growing up in a household with a 'remote' Dad and a mother with Mental Health issues, Batman was my escape. Thank you, Steve for a wonderful and moving tribute to an irreplaceable man and the definitive, amazing, indefatigable, Batman.

Conroy's Batman helped me as a child make sense of my trauma. To me, he is the embodiment of the word parasocial relationship and I will always be eternally grateful for that. He really was a superhero
Glad to hear that Kevin helped you with your trauma. I hope that you're doing well now in life. Take care, stay safe and God bless you, your family, friends and loved ones and the whole world.
Amen.
The Hatter's performance in this episode was also prime stuff. *_"YOU!_* Of all people, have the GALL to ask me that?!" 30 years on, I still remember that.
He was a good man, I was very fortunate to meet him once at a Con with my daughter who couldn't understand why dad so nervous. We talked for a moment he asked about my kids. And thanked him for all good memories his show facilitated with my dad. He was kind and humble man. He will be missed.
I hope he realized that everything he ever did was worthy of being a favorite
That man never gave less than 100% than Batman in anything he did
We didn't deserve him but god knows that we'll be appreciating him for the rest of time.
When Kevin Conroy died, the Batman moment that stood out to me the most was Batman sitting on the swing with that little girl waiting with her because she was going to die.
He was vengeance. He was the night. He was Batman.
BTAS was my introduction to the character as a kid in the 90s, and maybe even my introduction to Superheroes as a whole (closely followed by Superman TAS and Spider-Man TAS). Kevin Conroy is, and will always be, my Batman.
Kevin Conroy will always be the voice of Batman for me, for the range and depth that he conveyed and the wonderful stories in which he was a part. This was certainly a touching episode, but I often think of moments such as the Justice League Unlimited episode "Epilogue", which includes a truly devastating moment of compassion with Ace of Spades from the Royal Flush Gang. It's something that often feels lacking in the live action versions, which tend to use a cold demeanor for Bats and give Bruce more warmth (even Bats with his mask off, if you understand yhe difference).
Something I've said for a long time - the only live action Batman who could have done the scene with Ace, and it work, was Adam West's. Batman 66 was hokey, and deliberately camp, but that Batman had heart.
If you can't picture your Batman comforting a girl on a swing set, then your Batman is not my Batman.
Kevin will always be my favorite Batman of all time in animation. The other person whom did Batman in the superfriends was good at this time ; including Adam West on the new adventures of Batman. But Kevin took the character to another level, you felt the intensity, emotions, and some of Batman's inner struggles as a person.
Kevin Conroy made his Batman bigger than life because he, too was bigger than life. He was a kind, introspectve person who was there for family and fans alike. 66 years or 166 just in't enough time with a person like Kevin. May he rest peacefully.
RIP Kevin Conroy
What a great tribute Steve, really captures what makes his Batman so great: the Sincerity.
DC pride comics line, has a origin story for Kevin Conroy written by him it is a powerful read I would recommend it.
came looking for this as i'm missing *my* batman. RIP to a true legend.
I’ll never forget this episode because of how shocked I was as a kid when I had a dream where I read something and realized upon waking that Batman lied to me. What’s funny is that I still like it so much because it usually does such a good job of respecting its child audience, which is what makes it an all-timer for me.
It could just be that *Batman* knows he can't read in his dreams.
For me, at least, I can read in a dream, but whenever I try to write or type, things keep getting jumbled up. I usually wake up in frustration after that.
Batman didn't lie. You really can't read in a dream. However, dreams sometimes just tell you things and you believe them (your critical faculties are off, basically). So your dream can tell you "you read this book, and it says this", but you're not actually in the process of reading. This is also why you can dream impossible things. Since the dream can just tell you "you're seeing X" and you believe it, but you're never actually seeing anything (after all, your eyes are closed), it doesn't have to be something that is actually possible in the real world. People can be short and tall at the same time and you accept it.
If you try to read the same line twice, it will be different the second time
Justice League Unlimited revisited this premise years later only this time it centered on Superman
It's called "For The Man Who Has Everything", if you haven't watched it, I highly recommend it
"For the Man Who Has Everything" actually came first, though as a comic, not a TV episode. "Perchance to Dream" is basically a Batman-centered version of "For the Man Who Has Everything," which was then directly adapted years later for the Justice League show. Kinda neat, I think.
@@SteveShives oh wow. I had no idea.
I wasn't much of a comic collector, so I often find myself asking chicken or the egg questions with TV/Film adaptations lol.
But watching both episodes, for me, I couldn't help but feel the palpable emotions on display by both batman and superman (in their respective situations)
@@MultiMackD If you have some spare change and can find it, there is a trade paperback the Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told. That story is one of them. I think there are multiple volumes of that now, but this was the first one.
@@MultiMackD for the man who has everything was written by alan moore and the justice league episode was the only adaption of moores work he's ever actually liked.
@@SteveShives just imagine if Bruce did choose this life in Batman Beyond.
I met a lot of the voice actors that voiced the classics of my childhood but I never was able to meet Kevin Conroy.
One of the reasons B:TAS was my favorite Saturday morning cartoon as a kid was that Batman almost always beat the villain through either a moral victory-talking them down from the ledge or exploiting the villain's vice in some way, or through out-thinking them, usually in ways a 12-year-old could understand like the brain hemisphere stuff in this episode. I think it's fitting that he escaped from his version of the "Man who has everything" trap in this way, and shows the balance that B:TAS had. He wasn't an omniscient genius who pulled some solution out of nowhere to show off how smart he is: but he always stopped and took a moment to think, and the solutions he came up with were ones that a grade schooler could see and think, "yeah that makes sense."
He's *my* Batman. I really try not to do the whole parasocial thing. But it felt like losing a friend when I heard the news. I was devastated. No one will ever replace him in the role for me.
Peter Weller aka robo cop is a really good batman .
Thank you. Kevin's sexuality doesn't matter but his dedication as an actor does. He brought to the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne an understanding of the part that a lot of us didn't have because we weren't hiding who we were from a majority of the public. I appreciated Kevin's performances when he did them and more now that I know how much of himself he put into his performance. Thank you for this tribute. It is spot on.
Edited for typos I made on the phone while posting this. Content not changed.
Whaaaaat??? I had no idea he had passed!😭😭😭 He WAS Batman. There is no one else. I don't care what anyone else says. Just like Mark Hamill is Joker. I am devastated. He was such an artist. He will be missed.
I was pretty sure you would do a video on Kevin Conroy after his death and I'm glad you did! This was a really respectful and thoughtful tribute and told his batman story beautifully.
He is Batman, our Batman. Thank you Kevin for bringing a light into our lives in the darkest of night. May your eternal rest be as you deserve, that of a true hero to us all.
It was Kevin Conroy. PERIOD
I know you have mentioned Mask of the Phatasm before. I think the scene at the grave of his parents is the best scene of Conroy's career and why I think MOTP is the best Batman film. I am 52 and I still tear up thinking about the anguish in the voice as Bruce is begging his parents to let him move on. To my way of thinking it was after this that Batman won out and did become the main identity and Bruce was the disguise. That dichotomy was why, when written well, the Two Face stories are some of the best Batman stories because Harvey is how Batman somewhat sees himself.
Thanks for the info on the DC Pride stories. I gave up regular comics reading around the time of Knightfall, when I realized what I was spending per month would make a car payment when I needed a new car. It is funny to see so much of the 80s and 90s runs of DC stuff continue to get new life in JLU or even more modern DC animated projects, Killing Joke, Death in the Family, Judas Contract, etc. Not sure if that is more of an indictment of newer material or just the play it safe and go with the classics that Execs fall back on.
"I didn't count on being happy..."
I knew this was coming but when it finally did, I couldn't bring myself to watch it right away. Kevin's Batman WAS Batman to me as he was for many of us, so it was hard to lose him, and eulogies do add a sense of finality to the event. But of course, you did your usual fabulous job Steve, and I appreciate you for it.
I have to disagree on the "conveys that Bruce Wayne is the mask" point. In Mask of the Phantasm, Bruce is very present. The genius of Conroy's voice work was that the Bruce Wayne voice never feels false. I always loved now warm it sounded. And, I feel it's a major component missing in all of the live action movies.
In Batman Beyond, there's a similar "In my mind, I don't call myself Bruce" moment.
Kevin Conroy and Adam West were the only two great Batmans. They will both be missed.
RIP to the most iconic Batman of my childhood.
I couldn't imagine I'd be crying by the end of this but damn it you got me with that last line you highlighted from the episode. Goodnight forever Mr Conroy 💐💯
I knew we'd be seeing an emotional, respectful and insightful tribute on the channel, and was not disappointed. Thanks Steve, and thanks Kevin.
Whenever I read a Batman comic, it's Kevin Conroy's voice I hear in my head
"the stuff dreams are made of"
after all those years we had to go back in time to find out what "THIS" "sweet dreams are made of"
He really was the best Batman ever.
I'm a huge Batman fan. People around me know about my Batman obsession and they often ask who my favorite Batman is. I know their question is based on live action actors, but I always answer with Kevin Conroy. A lot of them are confused till I bring up the impressive list of times Conroy brought the character to life. That typically leaves people dumbfounded as to why they didn't think about Conroy from the get go.
"I even heard about this South African guy who thinks he's Tony Stark" had my sides hurting.
Thank you again. This was a wonderful tribute to Conroy. I was saddened to hear of his passing. I grateful for all the performances he gave us. But I am sorry we won’t have any more Conroy’s performances in the future
That was a very nice analysis and history of Conroy's Batman.
And I agree that he, in the end seems very genuine in his outlook towards other people.
I will probably always love the story he tells of 9/11 where he calls and asks if he can help in anyway, and they ask if he has restaurant experience, and of course, as an actor, he does from early in his career, and they ask if he'll just go make meals for first responders, which he happily does. He didn't really interact with them directly, being back in the kitchens, but one of the other volunteers realized who he was, and encouraged him to say a few lines for the guys out front who didn't believe Batman was making their lunches, and when he did, the whole cafeteria of exhausted first responders lit up, with many of them telling him that they took up this kind of career in part because of him, because they wanted to help people the way Batman did.
I really like that story not just because it shows how powerful a story and a character well played can be in inspiring people when things are at their worst, but because when things were bad, Conroy the actor turned up to help in the small way he could as someone who is not actually Batman. And I think that's important, too, that he was genuinely a good person, and that it's possible to help in small ways even if you don't have the training to help in the large ones.
Because of this episode, whenever my teeth fall out or something, I go find a book, open to a random page, and read. I then wait a moment and try to read the passage again. If it has changed or makes no sense, I know I'm dreaming. It's helped me through many a nightmare in my life.
The episode that always stuck with me for Batman was Justice League Unlimited‘Epilogue’. I was with my friends when it first aired and while I know it was in a watchmojo recently it is to me the best scene Kevin Conroy did. The compassion and sadness he expressed to Ten was so real you felt that even for that short moment, he was able to provide a peace to someone so terrified it made me cry.
I had no idea what Kevin Conroy looked like until a few years ago when I saw an interview. I never realized how old he actually was and thought he would be PERFECT casting as Old Bruce Wayne with minimal makeup in a live action Batman Beyond movie. A shame that fantasy can never happen now.
RIP Mr. Conroy, you legend of a man.
To me Kevin was indeed THE Batman. He was the voice in the cartoons, the DCU Online game... so many other things. Rest In Peace Kevin.
A beautiful tribute to a wonderful man and actor, Steve. And your observation about Adam West and Kevin Conroy being the two memorable Batmans is a fitting one, as West deserves a similar respect for being able to juggle personas due having to - in live action - rapidly switch between his Bruce Wayne and Batman identities while taking to Commissioner Gordon to sell the idea of two different men having a conversation while at two different locations. As much as the 60s Batman series gets labeled as camp, West's Batman was one who did what he did to stop another child from losing their parents, not to beat up people for tiny indiscretions. Like Conroy's later take did. It's why the episode where Conroy's Bruce Wayne thanking Adam West's Simon "Grey Ghost" Trent for inspiring him in "Beware the Grey Ghost" makes it one of my favourite B:TAS episodes.
7:18 🤭😆🤣
Perchance To Dream is an episode I remember really well. It's one heck of a psychological rollercoaster which like you stated, is quite relevant even in the thoughts of peoples nowadays. It puts you right there deep in every moment and eerie feeling. The writing as always is bloody phenomenal the way it dives right into such a wicked mind f*ck, and it reminded me a little of the classic Total Recall. Have to say though, my all time favourite episodes are the more tragic ones, featuring Mr Freeze, Clayface, Killer Croc and Baby Doll. They always end on a sad note, which was very ballsy for a series aimed more at youngsters than adults, because it's more relatable and true to life. There isn't always an happy ending...
"and he added the subtle rasp Michael Keaton added to the voice", meanwhile Christian Bale didn't got the memo, "LESS RASP YOU NUMSKULL!"
There are two instances that made Kevin Conroy's Batman my favorite. One was when Batman hugged Baby Doll when he caught her and the other was when he sat with Ace on the swings when she was about to die. Most Batmen just beat up criminals, but Kevin Conroy gave you a much deeper Batman.
Thanks for this, one of your best videos yet.
R.I.P Bruce “Kevin Conroy” Wayne
lost, but never forgotten.
This was such a good tribute to Kevin Conroy. I could see why this would be one of his favorite episodes since it explores much of Bruce's mind, offering him a version of a paradise, only to find out that it's all a lie. I loved his performance as Batman. He captured the gruff and dark knight persona, but there was always a feeling of warmth and empathy there as well. It's why moments where he connects with villains or tries to reach out to them work when he does care about helping people. I read Finding Batman after he passed on and it was so heartfelt and powerful. Kevin Conroy himself seemed like such a sweet and genuinely nice person. I still hope how much he knew fans loved him and how much his performances meant to us. I hope that he is at peace and his family and friends will be okay.
Great video about a great man. Kevin was the best Batman. Not a persona played by an actor, but fleshed out character. No one will ever show us Batman more convincingly. I am glad I could experience it and be witness to this greatness. I hope You’re having a blast in the afterlife, Kevin.
Such a terrific and thoughtful tribute to a wonder person that brought joy to many. Thanks Steve. 🦇🐧
Thank you for this video❤Conroy will live on,and be forever missed💔he is Batman🙏
Thanks Steve for saying all that we want to say so well....and thanks Kevin! You will be remembered.
And let's not forget that Conroy redid Bruce Wayne and Batman AGAIN for the New Batman Adventures. In B:TAS, his Bruce Wayne was light and low key, in NBA, his Bruce Wayne was a bit more serious in tone, though it still had the Wayne lightness. Conroy's Batman of the NBA was DEFINITELY more darker in tone than the B:TAS Batman. It was even more grittier, too. Wow, what a talent he had... 😏
I remember that episode, really stuck in my mind.
Glad to see me and Kevin share the same taste.
He will always be my Batman! RIP Kevin!
8:09 “this South African guy who thinks he’s Tony Stark” 😢😢
Thanks for this video. You have a talent yourself for recognising as so many of us do that Kevin gave us the definitive Batman. We will not his talent for a will yet if ever. Love from the UK.❤
Its amazing really, what we can bring to this world if we are allowed to be who we really are, and Kevin Conroy exemplified this like no other in recent memory.
ALL 109 EPISODES OF BATMAN THE ANIMATED SERIES SRE BEAUTIFULL BEST BATMAN ADAPTATION EVER MADE 1992 TO 1999
The dark knight of 2 generations, his life gave him the tools to become Bruce Wayne, he gave his heart and soul in each performance, as did those of HIS rogues gallery and each of them became better. He is missed this Christmas so at the end of the year i will toast his life and thank him. Fare thee well Kevin Conroy i hope you find peace at last.
Im not crying, you're crying!
I hope Kevin Conroy is resting easy. We will forever miss his Dark Knight.
Rest in peace Kevin conroy.
Not sure how intentional it was, but the episode reminds me of the Superman issue "For the Man Who Has Everything" by Alan Moore. Superman finds himself in a place where Krypton was never destroyed and he lives a peaceful life with his family, pursuing all of his passions with no worries about the state of the world. And it just feels wrong to him, as if he knows it's too good to be true and that he is needed for a greater purpose. He tearfully accepts that he can't live a lie and wakes up to continue to live the harsh reality that the place where he always would have belong is no longer there. It's damn good stuff. People call Superman boring, and while I get the criticism, but when a Superman comic really explores the character and what he stands for? Well, like with Batman there's a reason the character has endured every swing of popular culture and politics for 80 years.
Wasn't that later adapted into a Justice League episode with Batman and Wonder Woman in supporting roles?
I also thought of that episode it’s my favorite JLU episode. George Newbern gives a great performance as Superman’s voice.
@@Kairamek Yeah that was totally an episode of Justice League or rather it was the second episode of the slightly retooled Justice League Unlimited.
@@Kairamekit was and it was incredible! Still Kevin Conroy! So we're the two first Arkham games! I'm gonna miss this guy.
Such an amazing man. I can't imagine what he felt doing this particular episode, but I can only assume that it hit very close to home for him. I first picked up a Batman comic when I was about 3 years old back in the 70s, and he's been my favorite hero ever since. But like Kevin Smith once told Conroy, it's now his voice I hear when I read a Batman comic. Thank you so much for doing this episode, Steve. Kevin Conroy will forever be my Batman.
A perfect tribute. Thank you.
Brought tears to my eyes. Thanks, Steve.
Never knew he was gay. Just loved him as Batman. Great heartfelt analysis on Conroy and one of the best episodes from the series. RIP Kevin Conroy.
Maybe this is unfair, since he voiced the character for over a decade, but- no other on-screen Batman has come as close to capturing everything that makes Batman so great as Conroy's. This Batman is smart, savvy, funny, competent, brave and compassionate, but also flawed- jaded, withdrawn, and almost adorably slow to build genuine connections with the people who care about him. He moves through multiple arcs touching every corner of that version of the DC universe, each satisfying and gripping in its own right. Conroy's Batman is my gold standard for the character, and no other adaptation has met it.
Is that too high a bar? Maybe, but to lower it is to undersell the character, the actor, the animators, artists and writers, and the universe they were a part of.
"Please! I need it to be different now! I know I made a promise but I didn't see this coming! I didn't count on being happy"
A glimpse of the live he would have had with Andrea, although his parents would have still be dead.
Reading the graphic novels or comics Kevin Conroy's voice is the one I hear in my head. I loved the animated series and the Arkham games. His voice IS Batman, and Bruce Wayne.
It was so good that he got to play Bruce Wayne/Batman in a live action setting, and he was excellent as the hero living long enough to become a villain, as the saying goes
I would recommend anyone to watch Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Superb
Kevin was my favorite batman. He will be missed.
The Animated Series and everything about it are my favorite Batman. I was so sad to hear of Conroy's passing. Thank you for making this video, and thanks for the link to the comic! I had absolutely no idea about anything in his personal life, I just knew his thought-process on Batman.
This is really good. Thanks Steve!
This was a great video.
Thank you for making it. It was very interesting to hear about his favorite episode.
And “trapped in a dream machine” is a trope that is used again and again, both in other cartoons and comics.
Thank you for this!
Beautiful heartfelt video, thank you.
Great, funny yet respectful tribute! Gonna have to make a new year's resolution to tackle the whole show, as well as Justice League. What an inspiration. May he RIP
I remember the episode of Batman the Brave and the Bold where Batman ends up on a planet with a Batman of its own whose life is suspiciously like Clark "Superman" Kent's (also B&B Batman gains Superman like powers on this planet). The Batman of this planet is voiced by Kevin Conroy, so I think of it as the episode where B&B Batman goes to another planet and meets real Batman.
This video serves as a wonderful and underrated tribute among many tributes out there. Thank you for making it, for giving me an even deeper understanding of precisely why Conroy will always be the voice I hear when I read Batman.
Been waiting for this
Very well written! Wish you had included more (than 2, was it?) examples of Conroy portraying Batman.so we could hear all the nuances you so beautifully describe.
I was hoping you'd get around to this. Thanks.
Or, “For the Bat Who Has Everything”.
Would love if you did an episode of BBE on his DCAU Justice League - that “Grumpy Coworker” at his best (and occasionally worst).
I love how the Matrix took cues from this episode: Cypher wanted to live in the dream world (contrasting Bruce's decision), Mad Hatter and the Matrix are related to Alice in Wonderland, and in the Animatrix episode "Kid's Story", the kid commits suicide to wake up in the real world, just like Bruce here!
My only complain about this episode, derived when I actually tried to read letters in my dreams, just to see if it's possible, and all the letters where readable! So in a way, I debunked this whole story in my own head.
It’s such a great episode and it breaks my heart Kevin Conroy is gone 😢
This series of yours "The Best Batman Ever..." is amazing. Can't wait to see who you have next!
I meant to say your last comment reminded me of the old saying: The secret to success is acting is authenticity once you can fake that you've got it made.
This was a great video. Thank you.
What a great video! Top-notch tribute to Kevin Conroy!
RIP KEVIN CONROY THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU WILL BE MISSED
That's what you get when everyone involved respects a project/IP & gives it their all with great voice work, incredibly deep situations & stellar writing...an absolute must watch GEM!!
Funny how you mention Reeves when he and Kevin were friends. They also shared a mutual acquaintance with someone who surprisingly never portrayed a DC villain or hero, Robin Williams. Robin was roommates with Kevin and so now all three are finally together again. I also haven't been as devastated over a celebrity dying since Robin passed 7 years ago.
Thanks so much for this. Conroy is my favorite Batman. It's the Batman I measure all others by.
An excellent tribute. Rest in peace, Kevin
Another great episode from Steve; though I do worry about him. He appears to own a well-stocked comicbook shop; but in all of these videos, I've never seen a single customer pouring over the comics, or furtively stuffing collectables in to their backpacks.
"I've even heard about this South African guy who thinks he is Tony Stark..." 😆😆😆
