I will definitely miss his portrayal of Batman. He was great.

I login just in time to have my heart freshly temple-of-doomâd out of my chest. Youâll always be the voice I hear inside my head whenever reading Batman, Mr. Conroy. Absolute legend.

I always wanted to hear him as the Batman Who Laughs.

Iâll be totally honest here: This loss didnât really hit me the way it clearly hit all of you, because I grew up later than his run as Batman. But youâve all tugged at my heartstrings with your stories, and made me feel a kind of selfish pleasure that since I still havenât seen so much of his work, thereâs so much more of him out there and heâs not really gone yet - Which, of course, is true in a way. Iâll just leave my own little story I have, of the first time that I encountered the DCAU: When I was ten, on a cruise ship with a TV that had like five channels, each of which played three episodes of the same show over and over again. I must have heard Conroy sing âAm I Blueâ five times over the four-day cruise, and it was genuinely one of the more memorable moments - and I saw baby huskies in Alaska.

You know, I was at a con recently and saw him from a distance. I was coming to his booth but he was literally leaving as I got there because no one was in line. I could have probably rushed and met him but I thought, âhe comes just about every year, Iâll catch him next time and thank him for everything.â I really regret that.
I grew up with Adam West and wasnât introduced to Conroy until later (through the film Subzero because we didnât watch much TV). When I heard him he immediately became the definitive Batman for me not just because he perfectly did characterâs voice but also because of the care he put into the role and the fans. He knew what it meant to people and cared about the fans.

So, that musical, the one they rehearsed at his friendâs bedside⌠Is there any way we could send a search and retrieval mission to Ghost Castle to find the script, or what?

Maybe sometime in the future after enough time has passed, but itâs ultimately still way too soon to be seriously considering this

As much as I enjoy his performance, Iâd rather not do that. Iâm fine with other performers bringing their own take to the character. And I wouldnât want his voice without his actual performance to go with it. (Nor do I want someone to attempt to imitate his voice.)

Yeah, even before now, I was okay with other people giving their voices to Batman. Not that I didnât like hearing him in the role in more recent stuff, or that I donât get why some people would want him for specific adaptations (âThe Killing Jokeâ movie, for better or worseâ* cough *). But weâve got other good actors to voice the Dark Knight.
Heck, Rino Romano, who Iâd previously heard voicing Spider-Man in the PS1 games, did a lot better than I was expecting in âThe Batmanâ.
Itâs one thing when the actor is still around, giving their blessing, which is what I think Mark Hamill and James Earl Jones did for recent Star Wars series (Mandalorian, Boba Fett). But posthumously feelsâwrong. I get that itâs out of appreciation and love for the actor and the role; itâs totally understandable. But as good as technology can be to replicate the human element, itâll only ever be a replication. Whether one can identify the detail or not, itâll lost that human element, which is ultimately what made Kevin Conroyâs performance so impactful and meaningful.
