[Brazelton] Kevin Conroy

[ThatNickGuy]

Best known for voicing Batman/Bruce Wayne in the Batman Animated Series, and multiple other places.

He was 66 years old.

This is heartbreaking. I didn't even know he was sick.

This fucking sucks man

I was always happy to hear his voice from Batman outside the Animated Series.

I saw a Tweet of his... sometime in the past two weeks, and he did not look healthy. I'm so sad to see this was the reason why.

Kevin Conroy was not my 1st Batman, but to me, he was always the best Batman. No live action actor has yet to portray the depth and gravitas in both Batman and Bruce Wayne that Conroy could do with just his voice. He could keep both personas so individual and yet, it didn't feel like they weren't part of the same person. We may never get a Dark Knight as good as the one he gifted us.

Wtf

Same as you, Nick. Had no idea. Didn't even know this was coming.
His portrayal of Batman was not the one we deserved, but it was definitely the one we needed.

This made me audibly gasp. He was always my Batman. Through all the WB shows and the Arkham games, his voice became always what I hear when I think of Batman.

Well, fuck

Damn.... 66 is young..... fuck cancer.

 

[General Specific]

Genuinely heartbreaking, to so many he simply IS Batman. 66 though not very young, is still too young to be gone.

 

[Yoshimickster]

Too fucking young, it's almost impossible for me to not hear his voice when reading a comic. The man was a legend, and pioneer for queer actors, he will be missed.

Kevin Conroy is probably for most the definitiv Batman. His sudden passing is shocking since nothing about his condition was made public.
