Can Conroy voice Batman in live action too?

When I say that I mean literally. Instead of “next Batman actor X”'s voice being simply disguised randomly by tech how about when Bruce turns on the voice effect and what we hear as his disguised voice is actually Kevin Conroy’s Batman voice that speaks out of the mask? Would it work? If it did work well would it add to the show or movie for you?

Be clear the actor uses his own voice the rest of time until he puts on the mask and turns on the fx then and only then is it Conroy voice speaking. What do y’all bat fans think?

Personally, I don’t think there is enough of Conroy’s Batman. If they rereleased all the dcau movies not originally done by Kevin Conroy with a new performance of his replacing the 1st one I’d switch movie versions. Except for Peter Weller and TDKR. I’d watch both versions. Jason O’mara is good too. He’s easily my 2nd favorite. Greenwood is ok. I can go with it when he voices him on Young Justice but Under the Red Hood needed Mr. Conroy. Not that Mr. Greenwood was bad but that was too perfect for him not to have it be Mr Conroy. Him and Jensen Ackles would have been even better. Ijs.

I saw Kevin Conroy read some of the Nolan script, let’s just say that Kevin Conroy was too good for it lol

It seemed out of place bit it majes you realize how poorly some of the live action Batman scripts really are when you hear THE voice of Batman saying them.

Ive thought about it a lot oddly enough. And everytime I try to imagine his voice in live-action it just seems like it wouldnt work.

While the voice is legendary and badass, it is still cartoonish in the sense that nobody actually talks that way. And it would be incredibly distracting. Even if you got someone to lipsync it perfectly, it would still be odd imo.

Just watch the video above of him performing with the voice. Its incredibly overdramatic.

I feel for the future of the voice of Batman, the actors will use voice changers or find an actor thats gonna perform the role that also has a badass voice.
