Still the best Batman in my heart (and the best Bruce Wayne too). He gave so much intelligence, integrity, and depth to the character through the animated series (credit to the writers as well). Every movie Batman is fairly shallow by comparison. RIP.

 

[The Stig]

rest in peace. to me he will always be Batman above anyone else.

Sad news. Batman: The Animated Series was my childhood.

 

[GloveSlap]

This actually hits me harder than any celebrity death in recent memory. Just terrible.

 

[Valt7786]

Absolutely unbeatable as Batman A real shame for him to go, at that age too. RIP Kevin, you brought a character I love to life in ways no one else has been able to.

 

[GrayDock]

RIP the best Batman
The Arkham games are what they are thanks to him.

 

[GreatnessRD]

A huge part of my childhood. Sleep in peace, pimp. Damn.

You're way too nice about this. He is the best Batman and Hamill will be the best Joker forever. No live action actor can even compare.

RIP.

Incredible voice for the character, no one else comes close.

It's amazing that the Arkham trilogy happened. I watched the original Animated Series in the 90s and never expected such a perfect, grand revival of its characterizations. Easily the best Batman property released in the past two decades, far beyond anything from Nolan IMO.

Sucks. Bracing myself for the day Peter Cullen dies.

Hopefully not anytime soon

Such a talent. Will always be my favorite Batman. The animated series was such a huge part of my childhood. I remember winning Batman: Mask of the Phantasm on VHS during an elementary school raffle and being so excited to watch it. Nothing but respect for him.

RIP Kevin.

 

[TonberrysKnife]

Such a big part of my childhood. RIP Kevin.

 

[Captain Toad]

We're losing too many Batmans lately. Jokers too.

 

[fart town usa]

What a shame, RIP Sir.

Legitimately the best Batman we've ever had and it was all via his voice. So impressive. Batman: TAS is still 100% gold, love that show.

 

[FeralEcho]

And with that so did Batman himself...

Rest in peace you absolute Legend!

Your voice and spirit are forever embeded in my mind as the dark knight and the reason you made Batman my favorite superhero ever since I was a kid watching the animated series.

Mask of the Phantasm is so damn good, I have a VHS copy too in the closet somewhere. I love the Siskel and Ebert review, they did it after fact and acknowledged they shouldn't have ignored it cause it's damn good.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

thought that was willem dafoe for a sec there

 

[gothmog]

Those pictures of Kevin and Hamill got me tearing up immediately. Such a huge loss. I mean the default Batman voice I think of is always his. RIP.

 

[Salmon Snake]

Rest in Peace.

You were The Batman.

 

[Bigfroth]

R.I.P Kevin Conroy. The best Batman, the WB animated series is one of my favorites.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Best voice rip

 

[wyvern_bloodfist]

this one hit me hard; one of my childhood heroes , helped me deal with my shitty life as a child. RIP Batman.

 

[Revolutionary]

Legendary VO.

RIP

[BusierDonkey]

Cancer is a shitty way to die. Hitting the age where all my heroes growing up are nearing the end of their journey. On one hand it's pretty sad, but on the other Kevin's Batman will long outlive him as the series and games he starred in were THE Batman and will be enjoyable for a long time to come. Talent doesn't die.

 

[Stuart360]

This actually sucks big time. His voice is Batman to me. Whenever i see something Batman, and its not Kev, it just doesnt sound right.
We are never going to get the true Batman in anything ever again.
RIP.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Rest in peace. 66 is way too young. Outstanding voice work. The Arkham games wouldn't be so good if not for him and Mark Hamill. I will play through the entire trilogy in his honor. Fuck cancer.

 

[BattleScar]

I am actually devastated

[TLZ]

My condolences.

 

[jaysius]

He was Batman.

 

[Kiya's Guard]

Nooooo, he was the only and the best!

 

[Fbh]

Damn, RIP. 66 is still too young to go these days.

While I grew up with the Spanish Dub of Batman, over the years I've really come to appreciate his work through movies, games and rewatching some of the episodes with the original voices. He really was the true Batman.

 

[AmuroChan]

One of the best in the biz. RIP.

 

[SLB1904]

Wtf I can't believe it

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

rip

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

RIP B-Man. You will be missed. Batmans won't be the same without you.

 

[Valedix]

Honestly my favourite Batman voice actor, RIP.

 

[WalterSobchak]

Truly the best Batman . He struck the best balance of how Batman and Bruce Wayne sounded. His Batman was serious but not over the top like Bales. That's a damn shame. Rip Kevin.
