After Kevin's passing, I got my mom to watch Mask of the Phantasm with me, to understand just a bit of the talent and heart of this great performer who has touched so many lives. It was the last movie we ever watched together; she passed a couple of weeks later.

The corniest line every edgy teen could say, turned into one of the most legendary phrases ever uttered by one of the greatest childhood heroes of all time.
I love Kevin's story how when he was serving lunch at a firehouse after 9/11 one guy recognized him and shouted out, "We have Batman serving lunch". No one believed that the tall skinny guy was Batman so she shouted that voice and the place got silent.
Kevin Conroy's best moment as Batman in the animated series is when Batman teamed up with his childhood TV hero the gray ghost who's voiced by Adam west which I think is symbolic because it's two Batman actors in from two eras in one episode
It sucks that Kevin Conroy died, I always wanted to meet him face to face because Batman was one of my heroes as a kid. I did thankfully get to speak with him through a virtual meet and greet, so it wasn't all bad. Still a shame to be sure.
Kevin Conroy like west, Keaton, Kilmer, Clooney, Bale, afleck and now Pattinson, they ARE BATMAN!! But his voice is the definitive batman voice. I am vengeance, i am the night, I AM BATMAN! (Thank you for everything ❤️ 🙏 Kevin)
Honestly I have that same thing, whenever I read a Batman comic or pretty much any comic batman appears in I always hear kevin conroy’s voice whenever I read batmans lines, he really was the definitive voice for Batman and I’m glad a grew up hearing him as Batman rest in peace Kevin conroy
Same, ppl are saying it wasn't really Mark as Joker, but it was I have it on good authority it was indeed Mark just trying to sound like his first old Joker but people still say it was a stand in or AI. It was Hamill.
@@Jezee213the one people are talking about was not Hamill, I’m pretty sure it was released with the wrong voice actor, but they rereleased it with Hamills voice as intended
12:26 If I had a nickel for every dead Batman voice actor playing a role as a mayor in a cartoon, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s so cool that it happened twice
Kevin taking rolls adjacent to Batman in DC works is such a great thing. Just a subtle fun detail for fans of his Batman that just add that little bit more to his role. Rest in peace you absolute legend.
Kevin Conroy is my favourite Batman voice. It's still a natural human voice but it's very deep and its gravely, but not too gravely. I can understand what emotions he feels as he's talking. And his voice can strike fear into the hearts of criminals but he can speak softly to the innocent and downtrodden, and it also has a heroic superhero sound to it. I can imagine him yelling "Robin! To THE BATMOBILE!" Kevin was an amazing Batman, and an even better person in real life.
I definitely remember Belacus on Ben 10: UAF and Omniverse, and it's interesting to hear Kevin Conroy because he's got a super iconic voice. May he rest in peace.
Kevin Conroy was so great as Batman! I was a teen when Batman The Animated Series came on tv in 1992, but I watched it anyway! I had only read a few Batman comics, but I really liked the show! He had a excellent voice for Batman, and I miss hearing his voice. every time I play Arkham Asylum, Arkham City and Arkham Knight, I try to not cry when I hear Batman talk to other characters. I never knew he did voice roles other animated shows. I hadn't known the show you mentioned even existed, but it's good he managed to get cast for them. He will forever be the voice in my mind every time I read Batman comic, and he an excellent job in portraying Batman as well as Bruce Wayne.
I remember the day when I came home from college for the week I looked on my phone scrolled through social media one post said kevin conroy 1955 to 2022. I sent it to my college teacher who met Kevin Conroy having worked for Dublin comic con then I sent it to my friend who's the biggest batman fan I know and honestly to this day I still can't believe he's gone. He's my favourite batman ever and he always will be batman
Kevin Conroy wrote a story in a DC Pride annual a couple years. Very multi talented individual. He wrote about his experiences growing up as a gay man and how his bad experiences helped him relate to bruce wayne in a way that gave us the voice we know and love today. Highly recommend the book. RIP
The One & Only True Batman! RIP Kevin Conroy. He was Vengeance, He was the Night, HE IS BATMAN! And he will be dearly missed and remembered. Rest Well Detective.
So glad you included his Captain Sunshine role in Venture Bros. There's an interview with the creators that said he read the script, thought it was hilarious but was also worried it might affect his career voicing such a risqué character, so he kept walking back and forth in front of the studio while the creators watched from a window above and made bets on whether or not he'd take the role. Thankfully he did, as Captain Sunshine is one of my favorite voices he's ever done. Rip Kevin, we miss you
Fun Fact: In Batman TBATB Adam West voiced Batman's father in the same episode Kevin Conroy voiced The Phantom Stranger. Two legends now gone but not forgotten. Two definitive Batmen. 🥺
It's cool that Kevin Conroy voiced other characters outside of Batman. However, for individuals like myself who grew up in the 90s, I knew him as the voice of Batman. Both Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill are the reason why the Batman Arkham games (excluding Arlham Origins) were so great.
I had the privilege of meeting him about a two years before he passed away. He was so nice. I loved how he told me that he and Mark Hamill were like two twelve-year-olds when they were together since they wouldn't stop messing with each other. Rest in peace my good man! You are sorely missed!
I know this is about Conroy's voice acting career but my Mom and I were recently watching through Season 1 of Matlock and lo and behold I saw a 30 something Kevin Conroy playing a love interest of Matlock's (Andy Griffith) daughter. Was a nice surprise.
Kevin Conroy’s Voice is Music to my Ears and Soul, although it seems that Crisis of Infinite Earth Part 3 will be his Last Role, Rest in Peace Caped Crusade, you are Gone but Never Forgotten.
I miss you, my friend. Thank you for being my Batman, my childhood hero, and later in life, my friend. I’m thankful to have existed in the same era as you.
When I hear his Voice I see hear Batman. When I see his face I think of Captain Wallace from Tour of Duty where he played a company commander in Vietnam.
It's so wild to me that Kevin died 20 years younger than Adam west. The years of their death weren't even that far apart. If anyone came close to defining Batman the way Kevin did, it was Adam.
I will always miss Kevin Conroy he was and always will be Batman to me. Also it was very interesting to learn some of the roles he's voiced outside of batman many of these I didn't know about or didn't know it was his voice so thank you for this information.
Kevin Conroy will always be my best inspiration for Voice Acting alongside Peter Cullen But how Kevin described his personal connection of the character "Batman" It felt personal, emotional and down to earth.
I remember my dad was streaming the first season of Tour of Duty a couple of years ago, and in the first season the company commander, Captain Rusty Wallace, as played by the late Kevin Conroy. This took me aback, seeing a much younger Kevin than the one I was used to seeing. I was saddened when they had to kill off the character, simply because it was nice seeing a Kevin Conroy live action performance, showcasing his abilities outside of voice acting. Of course, this was before Batman catapulted him to the legend he was at the time of his passing, but it was still a great call back to my childhood.
I never guessed that the fisherman in Jak and Daxter was kevin conroy. So, thats awesome to know. The fact the name of the security guys role in the jay and silent bob film is Gordon. Sounds like a nod to commissioner Gordon.
1:38 gets me and now I'll alway think that's what batman thinks in his head. Damn to think his other roles flew over my head as I watched shows like Ben 10 as Bellicus, phantom stranger and Robin's father just to name a few. How did I miss it especially in Ben 10 alien force - omniverse since that was my favorite hero for a time but I always came back to Batman.
When i found out he passed away the first thing that came into my head was the knightfall protocol was finally complete 😢 rip. the one and only voice of the batman
His bit on The Daly Show remains my favorite of his. Just so absurd, I could totally see Kevin Conroy pranking the voice actor of Superman like that. But Capt. Sunshine is a close second.
You forgot to mention in the new animated Batman series, Mark Hamill voices the character whom kills Dick's father, which is a neat tie in, given his father is voiced by Kevin
After Kevin's passing, I got my mom to watch Mask of the Phantasm with me, to understand just a bit of the talent and heart of this great performer who has touched so many lives. It was the last movie we ever watched together; she passed a couple of weeks later.
I’m so sorry for you to have suffered those losses so close, even though we didn’t know him personally he was always there for us when we needed him
I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m glad you were able to have that experience with her
I’m sorry for your loss man😢
My condolences. At least you two were able to bond on something that was a epic proportion.
I'm sorry for your loss, Rest In Peace.
I will miss hearing your voice.
I feel the same
Needlemouse's, or Mr. Conroy?
That makes two of us👍🏻👍🏻.
We all will
Bro finna murder needlemouse? 😂😂😂
Kevin Conroy as the phantom stranger And Mark Hamill as the specture has to be the funniest and most brilliant idea
Not to mention Adam West as Thomas Wayne. That episode is just a love letter to Batman as a whole
And in the Batman where he voiced dick grayson’s father,mark hamill voiced Tony zucco

Kevin Conroy is pretty much the Peter Cullen of Transformers. The original Batman, and original Optimus prime.
You mispelled DC
@@Kaution2004 Wait, Kevin had a Voice role in Transformers? Which transformer did he play?
true, he's the voice I hear same with OP and Cullen.

Batman is still one of my heroes, he teaches me to fight every day and always push myself
@@hermos3602that’s understandable, his performance was brilliant
Kevin Conroy is SO Legendary that he doesn't need to voice Batman in every project.

Let us remember Batman singing"Am I blue?" in JLU
That was awesome.

i can still hear him when reading anything with batman in it,
May he rest in Peace.

I just watched crisis on infinite earths for the first time and I freaked the fuck out when he walks on screen.

Thank you very much.
So glad he shared, even though it must have been difficult for him.

kevin was the best batman voice ever i personally love the Arkham Games
Fun Fact: In Batman TBATB Adam West voiced Batman's father in the same episode Kevin Conroy voiced The Phantom Stranger. Two legends now gone but not forgotten. Two definitive Batmen. 🥺
Btw there are voicelines of Kevin Conroy that are yet to be used in MultiVersus.

Bro did more for Kevin than warner bros did
I learn so much more facts about Kevin Conroy watching this video he really in almost half my childhood, teenhood and even in my adulthood now.
He’s with Adam West.
It hard to hear him in anything other than Batman but this goes to show how much range and versatility he had over the years
RIP
14:55 which also had Mark Hamill as Skeletor
Aw no that's so sad that he dies. He was the Batman voice legend.
Never would I believe the dyatlov pass incident would have a link to Kevin conroy
The Dark Knight... you will be missed
I miss you, my friend. Thank you for being my Batman, my childhood hero, and later in life, my friend. I’m thankful to have existed in the same era as you.

Kevin Conroy will always be my best inspiration for Voice Acting alongside Peter Cullen
But how Kevin described his personal connection of the character "Batman"
It felt personal, emotional and down to earth.
13:38 he sounds like Batman during a Detective Section, of course I’d believe him
Heaven hasn’t gained a new angel, it’s gained THE dark knight, R.I.P. Kevin
Roger Craig Smith filled the shoes with the voicing of young and angry Batman in Origins and he beyond nailed it.
In the episode where Conroy played as John Grayson, Hamill actually played as Tony Zucco.
