Timeline

The story of Kevin Conroy, told in moments.

1992 Event

Voiced Batman in Batman: The Animated Series. Used two distinct voices: a light one for Bruce Wayne, a deeper growl for Batman. Revolutionized how the character was performed. Every live-action Batman since borrowed his approach.

How did you create two distinct voices for one character? Did you know you were redefining Batman forever? Was the animated series where you found your purpose?

2009 Life

Voiced Batman in the Arkham video game series. Sold over 25 million copies. For an entire generation, his was the definitive Batman voice. He played the role across animated series, films, and games for 30 years.

Does being the definitive Batman for a generation feel earned? Did 30 years as one character ever feel confining? What did the Arkham games add to your Batman?

2022 Death

Died in New York of intestinal cancer. Age 66. Mark Hamill, who voiced the Joker alongside him for decades, called him "perfection."

Did Mark Hamill calling you 'perfection' mean the most? Was being Batman your life's work or just one role? What would you tell Bruce Wayne if you could?
