The Best Kevin Conroy Movies and Tv Shows

The animated world lost a legend after the death of voice actor Kevin Conroy, whose famous growling voice made him the perfect Dark Knight in nearly every Batman and Justice League animated series, movie, and video game since he first stepped into the role in 1992.

While he most notably played Batman and Bruce Wayne, he also provided the voice of Bruce Wayne’s father Thomas Wayne once, as well as other characters in animated movies and TV shows. Conroy was in the process of recording for Batman: The Caped Crusader, due to release in 2023. The status of the series, which was going to be a retelling of Batman’s origins, is now unknown.

In memory of his longtime friend and costar, Mark Hamill — who portrays the Joker — shared a statement about Conroy’s passing on his social media pages.

“Kevin was perfection. He was one of my favorite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him – his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated. . . Kevin was a brilliant actor. For several generations, he has been the definitive Batman. It was one of those perfect scenarios where they got the exact right guy for the exact right part, and the world was better for it. His rhythms and subtleties, tones and delivery – that all also helped inform my performance. He was the ideal partner – it was such a complementary, creative experience. I couldn’t have done it without him. He will always be my Batman.”

In honor of Conroy — whose voice helped shape the animated world — here are his best movies and TV shows.

10. Batwoman

While Conroy made his mark as the voice actor for Batman and Bruce Wayne, he made every fan’s dream come true when he set down his microphone and stepped into the literal live-action shoes of Bruce Wayne/Batman in “Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part Two,” the midseason finale episode of the first season of Batwoman, officially part of the CW’s Arrowverse.

Conroy’s live-action portrayal was a darker and edgier version of the Caped Crusader from Earth-99. The Kingdom Come version of Batman, complete with an exoskeleton, was responsible for the deaths of the Joker, Mr. Freeze, the Riddler, and even Superman himself.

9. Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?

Two of the greatest cartoon characters ever created came together in the Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? episode titled “What a Night, For a Dark Knight!”.

In this hilarious episode where worlds collide, Alfred Pennyworth is Daphne’s uncle. When Alfred is kidnapped by Man-Bat, Mystery Inc. teams up with Batman to save the day.
