Hey, just wanted to say real quick: Major shoutout to my wife, Cissey, who was the one to reach out to Kevin and his team to make this message happen. I will forever love her for helping me through the grief of losing my grandma with this message, and im so glad that we've been able to give everyone a place to grieve Kevin in his absence as a result of her thoughtfulness.
I'm 38. When i was 8 this man was the only person there for me everyday. He wasnt only the greatest Batman of all time, he was the greatest friend I never met.
It's possible, but this video is from when my grandmother passed in 2019, nearly 3 years before Kevin's passing. There's no way to know for sure. Probably safest to not speculate one way or the other.
@@mattiesavannahpahl9934 I politely disagree. I personally believe that Kevin Conroy -- a man who cooked for people after 9/11, and supported multiple friends who fought with AIDS and lost -- had the resilience and the generosity of spirit to have seen this moment as a way he could give something of himself, and no fight with cancer was going to stop that. We are the choices we make, and the actions that result. We are the kindness or the cruelty we choose. And not even our death changes that. I personally believe that a man like that could easily stare death in the face and tell it to "Wait your turn," and record a message like this to help someone. You may disagree, and for all anyone knows you might even be right, but given what I know of the man and his choices, absent evidence to the contrary, this is what I believe.
@wolfehologram3539 I'm not gonna argue with you about a hypothesis regarding a personal message to me that's not based on anything but assumption. Think what you will, but as I said, this was in 2019 years before his passing and there's not anything but conjecture going on here. I simply find it uncouth to make headcanons about real people, especially those who have passed. It's okay for this to simply just be him being nice to me
Mine included. I had a dream several nights ago where I saw my deceased grandfather reiterate the things Thomas Wayne said to Bruce in the episode "Nothing to Fear" which the famous "I am vengeance" catchphrase came in. I remembered this and told my grandfather my own version: I'm you're grandson, I'm James MacDonald then I woke up. I opened UA-cam to watch the clip and someone wrote RIP Kevin Conroy and my immediate reaction was WHAT THE?!? I swear the cosmos must have been talking to me. Kevin came to my hometown in 2019 and I had a falling out with my dad that very weekend Kevin was here. It was so bad I went to my grandpa's house and found solace with him which I found unusual since my grandpa was never that type of person. We were mourning the loss of my grandma from late 2018 and I could've really had a good talking to with Kevin since he had a difficult relationship with his father. Ever have one of those days where you feel you've hit absolute rock bottom? That was one of them. I didn't even know about ComicCon in my hometown that year. I forgot all about it partly because I was so wrapped up in grief. Now I'll never be able to see him except in the next life. It's one of those freak moments where the ghosts of the past meet the ones in the present. I used to watch all those Batman cartoons as a kid both at my home and grandparents' home. This is the one true case where I'm in tears over a favourite celebrity's death. And yet Kevin took it all in stride. Our loved ones always live on. The body is just a vessel. That hit me like a 250 lb linebacker running at full speed. Rest in peace, Kevin.
This actually brought me to the brink of tears. No celeb’s death has ever affected me but Conroy is different. He’s been my hero for as long as I can remember and he was truly a man that loved the fans. What a heartfelt message
Because you heard stories, listened to people talk about them, maybe even know about their past through interviews or something. And throughout all of that, you got to get an idea of who that person was and what they were about, and it resonates with you on an emotional, and sometimes, spiritual level, and it leaves a lasting impact on you. I remember thinking the same question when I found out Joey Jordison from Slipknot died
Neither did Mel Blanc. His son Noel said in his father’s documentary from 2008 that his dad never feared death, he always said “when I buy the farm, or I catch it, when I go, I’ll go.” And the same thing applies to Kevin Conroy here. Both were legendary voice actors who have left behind an immeasurable legacy of laughter, entertainment and life lessons that will continue to touch and affect generations to come.
I figured everyone has a fear of death. It's the fear of the unknown. But for some, it's the next stage of life, ironically. It's a sad affair, but from the seems of it, almost peaceful. May he rest in peace and his legacy live on
This video really demonstrates why Kevin will never be surpassed as Batman; his understanding of the character as well as of the complexities of human nature were so deep and philosophical in nature. He didn’t just play Batman, he understood Batman, and he knew why we needed him. RIP the best who will ever do it 😞
"It's not who you are underneath. It"s what you do, that defines you" This quote has stuck with me from the moment I heard it in Batman Begins. Very strong words, spoken by a very strong man. Rip Kevin
I had the honor of meeting him in 2019 with my dad who passed from covid in 2020 the photo of them with me is my prized possession in my game room last night before I found out the news today I was looking at pictures of me and him last night as if I knew something just happened this man was a huge part of my childhood and growing up I remember when I first saw him in person he was doing a live interview for a news channel and I just wanted to scream really loud with excitement because it was a dream to me to meet Batman now I’m realizing that I’m the only one in that photo now getting the news about him I was in extreme shock it was the worst news I could ever wake up to but now I realize he’s up there in heaven with my dad 😱🥺😭
I randomly got a strange itch to replay an Arkham game so I was telling my friends ab how I was gonna finish playing Arkham asylum, so after school I went home and re installed it. Played it for a bit before goin to sleep. Woke up the next day and got a message in my gc that he passed. The thing that creeps me out is the timing on how I felt like playin an Arkham game and the next day I got news that he died
First and foremost, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your grandma. The fact that Kevin not only took the time to send this heartwarming message and sharing his thoughts on death is one of many reasons why he's such a very wonderful person. And the fact that the entire time Kevin was saying it as Batman makes it even more meaningful because, as we all know, Batman lost both of his parents at a young age. He wasn't just the voice of Batman. He was Batman, and there will never be anyone like him ever again.
This was a cameo, he was paid to do this, i love kevin conroy and his words are clearly genuine but don't act like he only did this out of the kindness of his hesrt
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 Well no shit, I can literally see the fucking watermark. But it doesn't matter whether or not he was paid. What he said during the Cameo was out of the kindness of his heart, as with every other Cameo message he sends to his fans.
I am absolutely DESTROYED to hear about his passing. Absolutely lost. I can’t. This guy defined Batman and made him the superhero icon that he is today. I just wish this was a joke and he’d just come back tomorrow. Just tell me it’s a prank. Please. RIP to the only voice of Batman. Thank you for this video.
Ik how u feel man i felt the same to me this guy underdstood the character very well he made my childhood n hearing him passed away is making me feel so upset
God dammit I cried way too hard 😭 it's hard to believe Kevin Conroy is gone but he will always be remembered he is the only one and true Batman that I grew up with since 1991 thank you for everything you have done for Batman you have cultivated the true meaning of Batman it's going to be tough for any voice actor to replace you as Batman but I think the closest one who is the true successor to Kevin Conroy is Jason O'Mara he has voiced Batman the most and I like him
He was an incredibly kind soul and hearing Batman console a grieving fan was very touching. Conroy will always be loved by the fans, we'll deeply miss him. He will be remembered and praised for as long as the character of Batman itself. He's integrated into the lore forever. RIP, Kevin Conroy.
I can’t believe this showed up in my recommended, I recently lost my father and sat with him while he passed, Batman always there with the guidance RIP Kevin
“Every mans heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breathe. And what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper in something thats larger than life, then his essence, his spirit will be immortalized by the story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever.” - Ultimate Warrior
Watching this again, I have a cameo from Kevin Conroy my wife got me and each time I watch it I’m amazed how far above and beyond he went and how moving he was. When I see others cameos I realize this wasn’t above and beyond to him, he just was this giving and caring for every single person and every single cameo. I’ll never think of another voice first when I think of Batman.
RIP Kevin Conroy aka BATMAN. You will be missed but you will live on in the work that you gave us all to see and experience. You made a lot of people's childhoods great and you improved the mood of people including myself by being a hero to us all. We all love and appreciate you. Thoughts and prayers to his family. Goodbye Batman 🙏❤️
This hurt, but a good hurt. To know that your loved ones that pass are still with you in spirit. That's such a message that needs to be dwelled upon. RIP Kevin Conroy. Legend.
His body is gone, he now lives in the spiritual realm. Like Kevin Conroy said about his grandma, “their spirit lives on. The body is like a vessel and you really see that when someone passes. So you’re grandmother will always be with you. Her spirit will always be in you.” Kevin Conroy will always be with us.
@@davis70140 At least I'm not spamming everybody's comments with the same exact reply fool. Nobody wants to hear the details of how he died. Especially since we're all still in mourning. We can google that later.
This message means more than anyone could imagine. It's the one year anniversary of my own Grandmother's passing and today my family is gathering to celebrate that. Even moreso it's coming from my childhood hero. RIP Mr. Conroy. You and my Grandmother were my childhood.
To me, when I close my eyes and picture Batman, I will forever picture a version of his. During the height of the Burton/Schumacher films, this man upstaged them all.
When I was a few years younger, my parents did this video thing with Kevin Conroy on my birthday, made my life better. Thank You, Batman. R.I.P. Kevin the goat Conroy
@@OrphanPuncher Everyone is talking about him. He affected many people around the world. I'm 30, I grew up with BTAS, STAS, JLTAS, JLU, Batman Beyond, the DCAU films, I could keep going on and on. Kevin Conroy to me, like many others, is honestly my hero. Did I comment this with the intent to get as many likes as I did? No. I fired and forgot. I've been commenting in numerous places talking about him with others. I only noticed now how many likes I got.
This man has played such a large role in my life. He makes a point in this video about the body being a vessel. His passing doesn’t bring tears to my eyes because he will always be alive to me because he is immortalized as Batman, but not just any Batman, The Batman, when I have children he will be their Batman too.
What a great man, and such a blessing to the Dark Knight’s legacy! I got to meet him at a convention a few months before his passing and shortly after he signed a canvas print for me, I told him that as far as I was concerned, nobody has ever given Batman life as phenomenally as he had! For as long as live, I will remain beyond grateful that I told him that!
It’s awesome to think that both Kevin and Mark embody the characters so well most people hear those voices when thinking of the joker and Batman. Both class acts as well.
I held my grandmother's hand as she passed away. My dad held her in his arms and my whole entire family was there in the room. The "passed away surrounded by family" is how she passed. She died a beautiful death and what he says here is true. I grew up with Kevin Conroy as my Batman. I am saddened by his passing.
Aww man this made me sad that Kevin's gone 😢😢😢 your spirit. Will always be with us Kevin. We will never forgive you. You are a legend and it would be a disgrace to forget someone like you.
Never had the chance to meet him, but he is and will forever be my idol I can’t process this at all it was just too soon rest in peace kevin gonna miss you so fucking much😢💔
I can barely think about him without testing up. I was 34 when the news broke out, and I can't remember how little I was when I first started watching Batman TAS. He was my Batman for decades, and now it's like the role is empty without him to fill it any more 😢
Thank you Kevin Conroy I used to watch batman TAS all time as my childhood I grew up with it and you make me my childhood easier in my life but I love your quotes it does makes me happy. My favorite seasons is season 3 but my favorite most movie is batman mask of the phantasm I wish if I can met you in my first time ever. I will always remember your quotes I will going to miss you everyday I am vengeance I am night I am batman.
Hey everyone! Seem as though UA-cam is running ads on this video without giving me an ability to opt out. If you clicked on it, it's probably a bit too late to give em the "fuck you" for that, but there's a completely ad free upload on Twitter that would be better to share than this one. I don't want to make money off of Kevin's death, and the fact that UA-cam is even making it look like that's a possibility has me disgusted. twitter.com/dcauwatchtower/status/1591100447494144000?t=jGfu_K2T5-6IsvGCJbnhKg&s=19 Got an update: spent all of yesterday (November 16th, 2022) going in circles with UA-cam's support team on Twitter, and woke up this morning to find that they've finally counted metrics on this video towards channel monetization (the only way they have made clear to be able to turn ads off of a video entirely.) Apparently the process takes a week, and there's nothing I can do in the meantime as UA-cam continues to run ads for their own gain, but I'm closer to having them off than I have been yet, so here's hoping! For full clarity, here's the Twitter thread I made this morning with screenshots of the channels monetization page. The thread also links back to a compiled document of my back and forth with UA-cam trying to get this all sorted out. twitter.com/MattiePahl/status/1593267617485103105?t=kbIJdUaQwn6m_jw-EiLdIw&s=19 Also, just want to say thank you to you all for not just the outpouring of love and kindness over the loss of my grandma back in 2019, and of course the loss of Kevin. But also thank you to all of you who have shared your own personal stories in the comments. Whether those are about personal losses, interacting with Kevin, how his work impacted you, etc. It's made this a much less lonely experience. Kevin meant so much to so many of us, and it's so nice to see him living on in the way he impacted us all. 💜
Wow, this man was incredible. This is one of the most hurtful celebrity deaths I’ve felt in a long time. Can’t thank him enough for the all of the inspiration that he gave over the years. He was really one of a kind 😢
There will never ever be anyone who can portray the Dark Knight like Kevin Conroy. I was absolutely devastated to hear of his passing and I know for a fact that he’ll be missed by all of his millions of fans around the world. R.I.P Kevin Conroy, legends never die.
I know what you mean. I always smile whenever he says the line. I remember always trying to perfectly mimic Kevin's Batman voice in front of my friends but never being able to stay serious or keep a straight face while doing his lines and eventually breaking because I'd get too excited. He's the reason I started getting into the world of voice acting as a whole. I'm gonna miss this man... We all are.
I’m literally in tears, haha. I really needed this today-I know we’re all reeling from the news. It can feel a little silly to find yourself so torn up over the passing of someone many of us have never even met, but he’s touched all our lives in such meaningful ways. I’m sure that was one of the best parts of the job for him-getting to meet all the people out there whose lives he’d changed for the better with the character he breathed life into. I’ve admittedly had a rough time getting through the day today (I keep finding myself distracted, my thoughts wandering back to the news, and the fact that he’s not here anymore, that we won’t get to hear his Batman again.); but hearing this message straight from the man himself feels like a much-needed balm. His voice, his Batman, his impact, his kind and generous and loving spirit, will always be with us. Thanks so much for sharing this.
I felt the same. Been mourning all day for his loss. I love Batman. He was my absolute favorite with my brother. When I got the BTAS and Justice League dvds, we would sit around my computer and watch them 😭No joke. Everyone who grew up with him is hurting badly today. We mourn not only our Batman, but the loss of a magnificent and generous man who shared his talent with us all. Rest in Peace Dark Knight.
I used to be mcu die hard iron man fan but my heart suddenly turns on batman even though his story is dark and too tragic enough to handle for others but for me it's a pure soul values in life as i further understand him more than any other superheroes out there..... I will miss kevin Conroy you will always be "THE BATMAN" 🦇
Celebrity deaths happen a lot and generally don’t get a strong reaction from me but when Kevin Conroy died, I felt like I lost an old friend. I never met him but he was always a hero to me both by playing Batman and simply being a voice of positivity in interviews and things like that. I had hoped to meet him but he died before I got the chance. He’ll be missed. Still his words in this video are certainly something to remember. He’ll always be alive in our memories and in the stories we tell.
He truly was an inspiration and a hero both in and out of the costume. I wish we had of gotten to see him in live action in the Batman suit but at least we'll always have the cartoons and the memories. Rest easy Kevin and know you'll be missed by your fans all over the world.
He was just Bruce Wayne in a few episodes of a DC show, can't remember which one, i think it was Supergirl? Anyway, he played an older Bruce hooked up to some machine that kept him standing up and probably his vital functions working too
@@AL3X1KUS I already knew about that one, it's why I said in the batman suit plus he was also an Evil Bruce which I'll admit was cool to see, but would've been cool to see him in the DC Batgirl, but unfortunately they cancelled it last minute I mean I understand if it was gonna be a terrible film but yeah it's a shame is all.
@@dunkbuscusgaming7016 It was the Crisis on Infinite Earths show where Kevin was Bruce. Yeah he seemed quite evil based on the few video clips i saw. I mean goddamn, he punched Supergirl in the face and she flew like 1 meter on to to the ground on her ass... Goddamn that is some seriously powerful armor. It looked like something Lex Luthor / LexCorp would possibly build for Bruce, no?
@@AL3X1KUS Yeah, I'm a big fan of the Arrowverse so I saw it when it first came out even edited all the episodes together at one point. I did it with all the crossovers too.
This month was hard for us comic book fans. First we have to remember the deaths of both Stan Lee (who passed away exactly 4 years ago) and Chadwick Boseman, and now this. It's truly difficult to move on when the people that inspire us the most have to go away. I'll miss you Kevin. Without you, crime has no punchline
I'm Came Here After Hearing That My Childhood Hero Is Returning One More Time Kevin Inspired Me To Come Out As Bisexual He Was Like a Dad And Helped Me Through My Darkest Times And I'll Never Forget This One Memory When I Was a Kid When I Had a Bad Day I Went In My Room Watching BTAS And Play The Arkham Games When I Would See Batman On Screen I Would Say Hi Dad I Still Think It's Embarrassing But It's Not I'm Happy To Hear Kevin Conroy Again For Crisis On Infinite Earth's Part 3 R.I.P Kevin Conroy (November 30th 1955-November 10th 2022) Thank You For Making My Childhood Kevin And Can't Wait For You're Last Performance As The DCAU Batman I Miss You Everyday Thank You For The Good Memories Kevin And We'll Remember You Are Vengeance You Are The Night You Are Batman And Still Be Always Will Be Thank You Kevin Conroy And Goodbye
Saving this video for whenever I need a pick me up. Thank you Kevin for being THE Batman. You changed so many lives with your character. RIP Kevin Conroy.
This comment and your picture is the coolest one to me here. I am 32 and grew up with him as the true voice of Batman, but even this past year you probably got a lot of those feelings I had just in that time and a year from now someone else will discover him too. That’s the great thing. He will truly always live on in everyone he not only entertained but inspired!

He seemed such a kind, decent, goodhearted man.. How is it possible to miss someone you have never met before?
Because you heard stories, listened to people talk about them, maybe even know about their past through interviews or something. And throughout all of that, you got to get an idea of who that person was and what they were about, and it resonates with you on an emotional, and sometimes, spiritual level, and it leaves a lasting impact on you. I remember thinking the same question when I found out Joey Jordison from Slipknot died
because he was carried most of our childhood 😢
Because when you grow up with someone like this so iconic as a charecter and a person it’s hard not to miss someone like that
We all knew him. He was the night. Our Knight in the night... I miss him too. 😞
It's his voice, a halo effect
I guess he did not fear death in his final moments after all. Rest In Peace Kevin Conroy. You were wise to give us this message.
Neither did Mel Blanc. His son Noel said in his father’s documentary from 2008 that his dad never feared death, he always said “when I buy the farm, or I catch it, when I go, I’ll go.” And the same thing applies to Kevin Conroy here.

First and foremost, I am deeply sorry for the loss of your grandma.
The fact that Kevin not only took the time to send this heartwarming message and sharing his thoughts on death is one of many reasons why he's such a very wonderful person. And the fact that the entire time Kevin was saying it as Batman makes it even more meaningful because, as we all know, Batman lost both of his parents at a young age.
He wasn't just the voice of Batman. He was Batman, and there will never be anyone like him ever again.
This was a cameo, he was paid to do this, i love kevin conroy and his words are clearly genuine but don't act like he only did this out of the kindness of his hesrt
@@beepbeeplettuce5890 Well no shit, I can literally see the fucking watermark. But it doesn't matter whether or not he was paid. What he said during the Cameo was out of the kindness of his heart, as with every other Cameo message he sends to his fans.

@@beepbeeplettuce5890 There's still time to delete this comment.
Asshole.
@Mr. Stranger it's okay he's just ignorant and misinformed
I am absolutely DESTROYED to hear about his passing. Absolutely lost. I can’t. This guy defined Batman and made him the superhero icon that he is today. I just wish this was a joke and he’d just come back tomorrow. Just tell me it’s a prank. Please.
RIP to the only voice of Batman. Thank you for this video.
He will forever be known as the true voice of Batman 😭😭😭
Ik how u feel man i felt the same to me this guy underdstood the character very well he made my childhood n hearing him passed away is making me feel so upset
Crazy thing. The whole plot of the newest Batman game is centered around Batman dying... and he really did. So sad.
Cancer doesn't give, it only takes and hurts.
God dammit I cried way too hard 😭 it's hard to believe Kevin Conroy is gone but he will always be remembered he is the only one and true Batman that I grew up with since 1991 thank you for everything you have done for Batman you have cultivated the true meaning of Batman it's going to be tough for any voice actor to replace you as Batman but I think the closest one who is the true successor to Kevin Conroy is Jason O'Mara he has voiced Batman the most and I like him
Agreed 💯
What a legend, the way he said "Good luck" right at the end was so kind and sincere - rest in peace
He was such a great person. I'm going to miss him so much
He will forever be known as the true voice of Batman 😭😭😭
He was an incredibly kind soul and hearing Batman console a grieving fan was very touching. Conroy will always be loved by the fans, we'll deeply miss him. He will be remembered and praised for as long as the character of Batman itself. He's integrated into the lore forever. RIP, Kevin Conroy.
Yeah he is, well said 👏🏼
I can’t believe this showed up in my recommended, I recently lost my father and sat with him while he passed, Batman always there with the guidance RIP Kevin
"It's what you do that defines you." SO true.
It’s reassuring that he knows that he’ll live on through all of us
Not all heroes wear capes. 😢 RIP Kevin.
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 But batman does wear a cape...
“Every mans heart one day beats its final beat. His lungs breathe their final breathe. And what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them bleed deeper in something thats larger than life, then his essence, his spirit will be immortalized by the story tellers, by the loyalty, by the memory of those who honor him and make the running the man did live forever.”

He will forever be known as the true voice of Batman 😭😭😭
and he said this less than 24 hours before dying
It was crazy that he said all that and then almost immediately died
Watching this again, I have a cameo from Kevin Conroy my wife got me and each time I watch it I’m amazed how far above and beyond he went and how moving he was. When I see others cameos I realize this wasn’t above and beyond to him, he just was this giving and caring for every single person and every single cameo. I’ll never think of another voice first when I think of Batman.
RIP Kevin Conroy aka BATMAN. You will be missed but you will live on in the work that you gave us all to see and experience. You made a lot of people's childhoods great and you improved the mood of people including myself by being a hero to us all. We all love and appreciate you. Thoughts and prayers to his family. Goodbye Batman 🙏❤️

Adam West hit hard, but this? Jesus, I was NOT expecting him to die, and it hits really hard. RIP.
This hurt, but a good hurt. To know that your loved ones that pass are still with you in spirit. That's such a message that needs to be dwelled upon. RIP Kevin Conroy. Legend.
Thanks for sharing that again, Mattie. He's gone now, but his legend is immortal.
His body is gone, he now lives in the spiritual realm. Like Kevin Conroy said about his grandma, “their spirit lives on. The body is like a vessel and you really see that when someone passes. So you’re grandmother will always be with you. Her spirit will always be in you.” Kevin Conroy will always be with us.
@@davis70140 Dude, stop copying and pasting this reply in every single comment.
He may have died, but his legacy is immortal.
Just like Batman himself.
@@davis70140 At least I'm not spamming everybody's comments with the same exact reply fool.
Nobody wants to hear the details of how he died. Especially since we're all still in mourning. We can google that later.
This message means more than anyone could imagine. It's the one year anniversary of my own Grandmother's passing and today my family is gathering to celebrate that. Even moreso it's coming from my childhood hero. RIP Mr. Conroy. You and my Grandmother were my childhood.
My dad has just been diagnosed with cancer. I am a big fan of Kevin and the batman games and I am glad this video appeared on my feed ❤
this made cry this guy was my childhood he lives on in game and in our hearts
I cried the night of his passing, I cried the next morning, and I'm still crying now...
I'll miss you so much Kevin... you were the best of the best
Didn’t cry when I heard about it
Didn’t cry afterwards.
Till now. Bless you Maddie and Mr Conroy.
You cried over this guy even though you didn’t cry for your sibling.
To me, when I close my eyes and picture Batman, I will forever picture a version of his. During the height of the Burton/Schumacher films, this man upstaged them all.
Kevin Conroy is dead??
I went to my university gym. There were a bunch of guys there some where working out in honor of Batman and so did I.
Rest well, Kevin. Say hi to Adam West for us.
R.I.P. You are "the" batman. May your soul live on in afterlife and find peace.
When I was a few years younger, my parents did this video thing with Kevin Conroy on my birthday, made my life better. Thank You, Batman. R.I.P. Kevin the goat Conroy
This has been honestly hard for me, thank you so much Mattie.
He will forever be known as the true voice of Batman 😭😭😭
stop milking his death for likes
@@OrphanPuncher Everyone is talking about him. He affected many people around the world. I'm 30, I grew up with BTAS, STAS, JLTAS, JLU, Batman Beyond, the DCAU films, I could keep going on and on. Kevin Conroy to me, like many others, is honestly my hero. Did I comment this with the intent to get as many likes as I did? No. I fired and forgot. I've been commenting in numerous places talking about him with others. I only noticed now how many likes I got.
What a wonderful person
*"The people we love are always with us"* *That marvelous voice won't be forgotten!* 💖🕊
HE. IS. THE. BATMAN!
rip Kevin we all loved and miss you. Your work will be cherished for all times.
This man has played such a large role in my life. He makes a point in this video about the body being a vessel. His passing doesn’t bring tears to my eyes because he will always be alive to me because he is immortalized as Batman, but not just any Batman, The Batman, when I have children he will be their Batman too.
R.I.P. Kevin Conroy, you were the greatest Batman of them all. You will always be missed and thank you for all the fantastic memories!
He will forever be known as the true voice of Batman 😭😭😭
Heartbreaking, wished I got to meet him in person. The greatest Batman actor of all time!
What a great man, and such a blessing to the Dark Knight’s legacy!
I got to meet him at a convention a few months before his passing and shortly after he signed a canvas print for me, I told him that as far as I was concerned, nobody has ever given Batman life as phenomenally as he had!
For as long as live, I will remain beyond grateful that I told him that!
This is a beautiful message. Thank you for sharing this. Kevin was a class act and he will live on for generations to come.
He will forever be known as the true voice of Batman 😭😭😭

It’s awesome to think that both Kevin and Mark embody the characters so well most people hear those voices when thinking of the joker and Batman. Both class acts as well.
R.I.P Kevin Conroy , Thanks for everything 💔🦇😭
I held my grandmother's hand as she passed away. My dad held her in his arms and my whole entire family was there in the room. The "passed away surrounded by family" is how she passed. She died a beautiful death and what he says here is true. I grew up with Kevin Conroy as my Batman. I am saddened by his passing.
This really shocked me.. I had no idea he had passed just a few days ago. Incredibly sad.. He'll always be THE Batman to me. RIP Kevin Conroy.
Aww man this made me sad that Kevin's gone 😢😢😢 your spirit. Will always be with us Kevin. We will never forgive you. You are a legend and it would be a disgrace to forget someone like you.
Kevin was such a doll. I wish I could have met him in person
God, this man was iconic. Very few celebrity deaths cut me up, but he’s one of them. Didn’t consider this day would come so soon
Never had the chance to meet him, but he is and will forever be my idol I can’t process this at all it was just too soon rest in peace kevin gonna miss you so fucking much😢💔

@@niko931 maybe he didn't know he had cancer but I guess by the time he learned it was already too late to do anything about it.
I can barely think about him without testing up. I was 34 when the news broke out, and I can't remember how little I was when I first started watching Batman TAS. He was my Batman for decades, and now it's like the role is empty without him to fill it any more 😢
Thank you Kevin Conroy I used to watch batman TAS all time as my childhood I grew up with it and you make me my childhood easier in my life but I love your quotes it does makes me happy. My favorite seasons is season 3 but my favorite most movie is batman mask of the phantasm I wish if I can met you in my first time ever. I will always remember your quotes I will going to miss you everyday I am vengeance I am night I am batman.
Stunned to get the news today. What an icon for a generation of fans.
Hey everyone! Seem as though UA-cam is running ads on this video without giving me an ability to opt out. If you clicked on it, it's probably a bit too late to give em the "fuck you" for that, but there's a completely ad free upload on Twitter that would be better to share than this one. I don't want to make money off of Kevin's death, and the fact that UA-cam is even making it look like that's a possibility has me disgusted.
twitter.com/dcauwatchtower/status/1591100447494144000?t=jGfu_K2T5-6IsvGCJbnhKg&s=19
Got an update: spent all of yesterday (November 16th, 2022) going in circles with UA-cam's support team on Twitter, and woke up this morning to find that they've finally counted metrics on this video towards channel monetization (the only way they have made clear to be able to turn ads off of a video entirely.) Apparently the process takes a week, and there's nothing I can do in the meantime as UA-cam continues to run ads for their own gain, but I'm closer to having them off than I have been yet, so here's hoping!
For full clarity, here's the Twitter thread I made this morning with screenshots of the channels monetization page. The thread also links back to a compiled document of my back and forth with UA-cam trying to get this all sorted out.

Also, just want to say thank you to you all for not just the outpouring of love and kindness over the loss of my grandma back in 2019, and of course the loss of Kevin. But also thank you to all of you who have shared your own personal stories in the comments. Whether those are about personal losses, interacting with Kevin, how his work impacted you, etc. It's made this a much less lonely experience. Kevin meant so much to so many of us, and it's so nice to see him living on in the way he impacted us all. 💜
rip to conroy he was my childhood
Me and my older brother grew up with the Arkham Games, Kevin IS our Batman, and he always will be.
For real that is disgusting but yt itself is a disgusting place
If it makes you feel better, I have hyper adblocks on top of adblocks running, YT will never see a cent from my end

Rest in paradise Kevin you were literally my childhood ❤
His spirit will live on
I’m so glad I got to meet him and get autographs. I got them for me and for my niece and nephew. ❤️ he was the kindest person I ever met
Omg just reflected on my childhood miss it hem days thank you kevin😢Conroy
Wow, this man was incredible. This is one of the most hurtful celebrity deaths I’ve felt in a long time. Can’t thank him enough for the all of the inspiration that he gave over the years. He was really one of a kind 😢
This man was my childhood
RIP Kevin Conroy
You will be missed
But you will live on forever 💐
I did not anticipate bawling my eyes out today. R.I.P. Kevin Conroy, your spirit will live on
Legend. I've been listening to this man's voice as far back as I can remember, grew up on this man. Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy.
He was a pervert.
There will never ever be anyone who can portray the Dark Knight like Kevin Conroy. I was absolutely devastated to hear of his passing and I know for a fact that he’ll be missed by all of his millions of fans around the world.
R.I.P Kevin Conroy, legends never die.
Not gonna lie, hearing his voice quote that epic line at the end made me tear up more than a little bit.
I know what you mean. I always smile whenever he says the line. I remember always trying to perfectly mimic Kevin's Batman voice in front of my friends but never being able to stay serious or keep a straight face while doing his lines and eventually breaking because I'd get too excited. He's the reason I started getting into the world of voice acting as a whole. I'm gonna miss this man... We all are.
I’m literally in tears, haha. I really needed this today-I know we’re all reeling from the news. It can feel a little silly to find yourself so torn up over the passing of someone many of us have never even met, but he’s touched all our lives in such meaningful ways. I’m sure that was one of the best parts of the job for him-getting to meet all the people out there whose lives he’d changed for the better with the character he breathed life into. I’ve admittedly had a rough time getting through the day today (I keep finding myself distracted, my thoughts wandering back to the news, and the fact that he’s not here anymore, that we won’t get to hear his Batman again.); but hearing this message straight from the man himself feels like a much-needed balm. His voice, his Batman, his impact, his kind and generous and loving spirit, will always be with us. Thanks so much for sharing this.
I felt the same. Been mourning all day for his loss. I love Batman. He was my absolute favorite with my brother. When I got the BTAS and Justice League dvds, we would sit around my computer and watch them 😭No joke. Everyone who grew up with him is hurting badly today. We mourn not only our Batman, but the loss of a magnificent and generous man who shared his talent with us all. Rest in Peace Dark Knight.
@@selenemp maan i remember watching jlu in cn back then n hearing his voice wherever i search batman its his voice that comes

Dammit I was not ready to cry at 3am.

Thank you Kevin Conroy for all that you were and everything you have done. You will forever be in my heart and an inspiration to all fans.
Celebrity deaths happen a lot and generally don’t get a strong reaction from me but when Kevin Conroy died, I felt like I lost an old friend. I never met him but he was always a hero to me both by playing Batman and simply being a voice of positivity in interviews and things like that. I had hoped to meet him but he died before I got the chance. He’ll be missed. Still his words in this video are certainly something to remember. He’ll always be alive in our memories and in the stories we tell.
Its still so unreal that he's passed away! I believe his message was also sent to all of us too!
Rest In Peace Kevin Conroy!!!!!
Kevin Conroy is always our favorite hero. R.I.P. Kevin Conroy🪦🪦🕊️❤️ (Batman)
I’m not crying, you’re crying
Damn right I am
Wow Kevin Conroy the kind hearted legend I will never forget him
I can’t even be sad. This video brings a hopeful smile to myself. He’s still with us.
He truly was an inspiration and a hero both in and out of the costume. I wish we had of gotten to see him in live action in the Batman suit but at least we'll always have the cartoons and the memories. Rest easy Kevin and know you'll be missed by your fans all over the world.
He was just Bruce Wayne in a few episodes of a DC show, can't remember which one, i think it was Supergirl? Anyway, he played an older Bruce hooked up to some machine that kept him standing up and probably his vital functions working too
@@AL3X1KUS I already knew about that one, it's why I said in the batman suit plus he was also an Evil Bruce which I'll admit was cool to see, but would've been cool to see him in the DC Batgirl, but unfortunately they cancelled it last minute I mean I understand if it was gonna be a terrible film but yeah it's a shame is all.
@@dunkbuscusgaming7016 It was the Crisis on Infinite Earths show where Kevin was Bruce. Yeah he seemed quite evil based on the few video clips i saw. I mean goddamn, he punched Supergirl in the face and she flew like 1 meter on to to the ground on her ass... Goddamn that is some seriously powerful armor. It looked like something Lex Luthor / LexCorp would possibly build for Bruce, no?
@@AL3X1KUS Yeah, I'm a big fan of the Arrowverse so I saw it when it first came out even edited all the episodes together at one point. I did it with all the crossovers too.
I think hearing this message hurts a lot more, knowing that his time was up, and he was ready to accept it. Rip The Batman 🐐
Rip Kevin Conroy Batman will never be the same thank you for the memories
It's sad to learn of his passing,he was such a big part of my childhood,from the animated series to the arkham games,RIP.
This month was hard for us comic book fans. First we have to remember the deaths of both Stan Lee (who passed away exactly 4 years ago) and Chadwick Boseman, and now this.

This guy had such an impact on my life, and its not even been a year since I got into Batman. My heart is genuinely broken.
This comment and your picture is the coolest one to me here. I am 32 and grew up with him as the true voice of Batman, but even this past year you probably got a lot of those feelings I had just in that time and a year from now someone else will discover him too. That’s the great thing. He will truly always live on in everyone he not only entertained but inspired!
Thank u for the kind words! Im just gutted im never gonna get to tell him how much his performance gave me such livelihood and energy.
