Kevin Conroy The Iconic Voice Of Batman Has Died At 66

Conroy had remained active on social media, which makes his sudden death all the more jarring. He had wished fans a happy Halloween recently, “at Wayne Manor,” which naturally received an enthusiastic response. Conroy had spoken several times about the significance of voicing Batman. In more recent times, he spoke about how the experience of voicing Bruce Wayne, a closeted superhero, helped Conroy process his feelings of being a closeted gay man. Actor Mark Hamill, who frequently voiced the Joker across Conroy’s Batman, provided a statement about his passing: “Kevin was perfection. He was one of my favorite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him – his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated.” Whatever your memories and experiences are of Kevin Conroy (and they likely involve the voice of Batman), they are probably extremely positive, and it is tragic that he has died. But his legacy is extraordinary, and it speaks for itself.
