[K' Dash]

what in the hell, I didn't know he was sick!

RIP

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Ah man. BTAS best cartoon ever. Best Batman media too.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

What he did as Batman is of high regard. As much as he could be acclaimed for on the TV/video game front, it stands there with the big budget Hollywood Batman's knight and day.

Peace to the family and Rip to the man

 

[Robot Carnival]

RIP to THE voice of Batman.

 

[Rentahamster]

Shit, he was an incredible talent. He will be remembered.

 

[mortal]

His voice was iconic. RIP.

Kevin Conroy's voice + Bruce Timm's design was the de facto Batman imo.

 

[Saber]

Damn...sad news. Looks like everybody is dying...rest in piece, part of my childhood.

 

[Big Baller]

The one and only Batman. Rest in peace.

 

[Braag]

Well this hits hard. He had the best Batman voice. RIP.

 

[Fake]

The best of all. RIP my friend.

 

[The Cockatrice]

FUCK
FUCK
FUCK

RIP Batman.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Damn. Always will be the voice of Batman in my eyes (ears?)

 

[Kacho]

This is so sad. His was the Batman. RIP.

 

[Skyfox]

Been saying this for over a year but no one cares.

A disproportionate amount of voice workers are dying since the pandemic began.

 

[DKehoe]

 

[Kadve]

Cancer apparently. And lets be honest here, that's the one thing that would finally take down Batman too.

RIP dude.

You have a hypothesis or something?

 

[FunkMiller]

Well this fucking sucks.

RIP.

 

[swarley64]

Oh my god…. Definitely the best actor to ever play the part. I loved that show so much growing up, and it was amazing to hear him play the part again for the Arkham games.

RIP

 

[Airbus Jr]

My greatest condolence

What a guy rip he will be missed

 

[FoxMcChief]

End of an era. Dude IS BATMAN! You know Kevin Smith is crying about this somewhere. As are many others.

 

[RoboFu]

Fun fact ... he was always really into acting in the thereater .. thats what he did before batman, during and after

 

[Elder Legend]

For real dude? Didn't he voice Batman in Multiversus too? What the fuck dude. This shit blows. RIP :/

 

[jufonuk]

RIP. Anytime I think of the voice of Batman. It’s him. RIP you legend.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

I can't tell you how much I love his Batman. There is such a confidence in his voice. Watching as a kid, you just knew this guy was going to make sure everything was okay.

 

[Little Mac]

Batman: The Animated Series was my childhood. I will always hear Kevin's voice when Batman speaks. Sad day. I was curious how Hamill was taking the news and found this ...

 

[Skyfox]

You have a hypothesis or something?

My guess is that irritation and inflammation of the airways between the lungs and the throat (from strenuous voice work) increases susceptibility to the virus.

I'm not saying he died of covid. I'm saying it further weakened him.

 

[AJUMP23]

That sucks. He was a great Batman.

 

[ClanOfNone]

Damn, Conroy was THE voice of Batman. He's as intrinsically linked to the Batman as Hamill is to the Joker.
RIP Dark Knight.

 

[TGO]

Damn....RIP Mr Wayne

 

[Nankatsu]

What a legend. May he rest in peace.

 

[trikster40]

Man, he WAS Batman. His voice was perfect and he will be missed. Sad news today.

 

[TheDuskwalker]

That's sad to hear. He was a amazing voice actor.

 

[Atrus]

Kevin Conroy was THE Batman and the voice I will always associate with the character.

RIP one of the best voice actors in the business.

 

[West Texas CEO]

 

[LQX]

Damn. Amazing voice actor. R.I.P

 

[Halo2redvsblue]

No Kevin activated The Knightfall Protocol.....Rip Kevin. No one will ever replace you as Batman because like you say

 

[Toons]

He was absolutely definitive for Batman. There are few voices that even come close to completely encapsulating what a character is. This sucks.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

No Kevin activated The Knightfall Protocol.....Rip Kevin. No one will ever replace you as Batman because like you say

Solidly the best batman. Could capture the full spectrum of the character. The charming playboy. The cunning detective. The symbol of fear for criminals. RIP

 

[rkofan87]

rip to the one and only batman.

 

[Sub_Level]

Rest in peace. Echoing that he is the definitive Batman.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Yeah, he will always be the Batman.

 

[Forsete]

RIP

I'm not saying he died of covid. I'm saying it further weakened him.

Where that an even remotely plausible theory then you'd expect choir, opera, and concert singers to be dying WAAAAAAAY before "voice actors", a group who talk no more than regular actors, start dropping from covid, which isnt even relevant for this great man's passing.

I can only hope he has spoken every word such that an AI can perfectly mimic his speech so we can have him as batman forever more once we get to the point where we can mix and match actors in films.

 

[Rest]

People argue about who the best Batman was. Kevin Conroy is the only true answer.

RiP my childhood...
