Massive respect to the animation industry I loved watching Batman at the end of the day

 

[Trilobit]

Going to rewatch my favourite Batman movie Mask of the Phantasm this weekend and remember all the amazing work that went into TAS.

 

[Comfortgel]

Dammit.

I grew up watching the animated series after school. May he rest in peace.

Rest now you have protected a whole generation of Batman fans and you will be heavily missed

This bothers me a lot more than it should? Not only did I grow up with this version of batman, but I always feel that he was the best. He would have me practicing a batman voice and is a reason why I've constantly toyed with the idea of voice acting (I'm told ALL the time I have the voice) I haven't tried out of fear, but what do I have to lose?

I really feel that I at the age where everyone and everything I grew up interested in is fading, dying, or being turned into rubbish. It really sucks.

Rest In Peace, Kevin. Truly the most iconic Batman.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

What a voice. Rest in peace sir.

 

[Randall Sully]

Sucks. Bracing myself for the day Peter Cullen dies.

Indeed, IMO Cullen is the undisputed king of the english-speaking voice acting industry - Mel Blanc was important for sure, but not even Blanc has a greater-sounding voice than Cullen, Scott Mcneil is my favorite VA and it would a little hard for me when he passes away

RIP King

Apparently the next Transformers movie has a lot of Optimus Prime screentime.

I know a couple of people who have met him and said he was brilliant, a good natured man.

The truest Batman of them all. It was his voice in the animated series that I grew up digging as a kid.

 

[nordique]

Crushing news. Defined my childhood

Batman in digital media including future Arkham games will not be the same without him

 

[Imtjnotu]

damn. growing up on the 90's batman cartoon, this one cuts deep

 

[Shh]

Well that’s depressing. The Batman animated series was my childhood. Definitely my favorite Batman voice. RIP.

 

[j0hnnix]

Wow. Such sad news. Greatest voice Bruce/Batman voice.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Was sad to see Adam West go a few years ago, now Kevin Conroy... we really only have the memories to hold on to in life.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Very sad news, his voice as Batman was perfect.

Fuck cancer.

Sucks. Bracing myself for the day Peter Cullen dies.

Till..... All..... Are one......

 

[ANDS]

Really unfortunate, particularly as he is the voice of Batman. From childhood to cranky adult he has really been the definitive "Batman voice" for that entire time; and not just his Batman voice, but he did a VERY convincing "naive playboy" in Bruce Wayne.

. . .certainly a blow to the genre (gaming, media).

 

[askeladen]

Rip

 

[MysticalChaos]

Was hoping to see him in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Hope they honor him somehow
