The iconography around Batman is so great that it is even possible to recognize him by his voice. His firm tone with somber undertones. And, for all intents and purposes, referring to the voice of the batman is applauding the talent of Kevin Conroy. His enormous contribution to the character both on television and in video games. Today, the celebration of his legacy and his work take on even more special value: Conroy has left us after losing the fight against cancer.
Kevin Conroy leaves us at 66 years old, being the voice of the DC Comics icon for half the world since Batman: The Animated Series, reprising his role in all of his video game adaptations, up until the recent MultiVersus. Of course, between the two, a huge legacy associated with the masked crusader who goes through the deliveries of LEGO Batman, DC Universe Online and many others.
Standing out, above all, with his essential contribution to the Batman: Arkham saga giving him the replica and being at the height of Mark Hamill’s impressive Joker. What a duel of great voices! A rivalry on screen and video games that contrasted greatly with the affection they had in real life, as Hamill recalled in the official statement.
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 in everything he did. Every time I saw him or talked to him, my spirits lifted.
As a curiosity, despite the fact that Kevin Conroy played Batman from a lectern most of the time, he also recently played him in the Arrowverso, the television universe of DC Comics. And eye, who also played Alfred or Thomas Wayne when he proposed to her.
In Europe we have been able to hear the work of Kevin Conroy in Injustice 2 or games like DC Universe Online. To be fair, our Batman has also been in the best hands as we are extremely lucky to have the talent of Claudio Serrano for video games, including MultiVersus or the Arkham series, in addition to embroidering it in film and television.
Kevin Conroy’s last roles were for television and video games, and he again proved to be the best at what he did. He played Hordak in the children’s series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and resumed the mantle of Batman in a MultiVersus which, by the way, pays homage to the Batman from the animated series.
Conroy leaves us with an impressive legacy and leaving a difficult bar to match. By far one of the best examples of how important voices are in video games. From here we want to express all our affection to your family and acquaintances. He has left us a great, but his legacy will always be with us. Rest in peace.
