Professional History

Kevin Conroy was an American actor best known as the voice of the DC Animated Universe incarnation of the Batman, beginning with the award-winning Batman: The Animated Series and its sequel, The New Batman Adventures. With his deep, resonant voice and passionate, embittered performance, he continued to play that iteration of the character in various other TV series, movies, and games, such as Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Superman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, and more, creating a version of the character many DC fans consider the best adaptation of Batman bar none.

Along with secondary characters in the DCAU such as Thomas Wayne, Conroy continued to voice other versions of the Batman in various media, such as Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, Injustice: Gods Among Us, Batman: The Killing Joke, and Justice League Action, as well as other characters in different DC media throughout his career.

In 2009, Conroy voiced another version of the Batman that became a fan favorite: the Batman in the Arkhamverse video games. In Batman: Arkham Asylum, Batman: Arkham City, and Batman: Arkham Knight, he created another version of Batman widely considered one of the best adaptations. Conroy also finally got to portray an elderly, retired Bruce Wayne in live-action on Batwoman in 2019, and wrote the story "Finding Batman" for DC Pride 2022 #1. He passed away from cancer in 2022 and his prerecorded dialogue as the Arkhamverse Batman in the upcoming game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be his last performance as the Dark Knight.
