Kevin Conroy Legendary Voice of Batman Dies at 66
Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy has died at age 66 after a “short battle with cancer,” his representatives confirmed on Friday. He was best known for voicing DC’s iconic superhero in “Batman: The Animated Series” and the Batman Arkham video games.
Kevin Conroy’s work in the role is the basis for every iteration of Batman popular culture has seen since. He played Bruce Wayne and his superheroic alter ego for years on TV, including on the beloved “Batman: The Animated Series,” and his influence can be heard in the performances of Christian Bale, Robert Pattinson and many more who’ve played the character.
He often played against Mark Hamill, who regularly voiced the Joker in animated projects along with Kevin Conroy.

Conroy was so beloved for his Batman voice role that he continued with the character in various other DC projects, including the “Batman: Arkham” and “Injustice” video games franchises. He also appeared in various DC Universe Animated Original Movies, including “Batman: Gotham Knight” (2008), “Superman/Batman: Public Enemies” (2009), “Justice League: Doom” (2012), “Batman: The Killing Joke” (2016) and “Justice League vs. the Fatal Five” (2019), among other films. The 2019 “Justice League” animated film is Conroy’s last credited feature as Batman, and his most recent video game credit as Batman is Warner Bros.’ “MultiVersus” from earlier this year.
I personally met him at a comic con a few years ago. I grew up as a huge fan of “Batman: The Animated Series” and enjoyed meeting him in real life since he was quite genuine with fans.
We offer our condolences to his family and friends.
