The voice of Batman in television, films, and video games has passed away at the age of 66. He died this morning, confirmed by Warner Bros.
In 1992's Batman: The Animated Series, he voiced Bruce Wayne and Batman. He went on to voice the brooding villain in 15 films, 400 episodes of TV, and video games.
"Kevin was more than an actor, I had the pleasure of casting and directing him, and he was a dear friend for over 30 years." Kevin will be with me for the rest of my life.
Mark said that Kevin was perfect. I loved him like a brother and he was one of my favorites. His decency shone through everything he did. My spirits were raised every time I met him.
Diane Pershing, who voiced Poison Ivy in Batman: The Animated Series, broke the news of her friend's death.
Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman, died yesterday. He put in a lot of time at the cons because he was unwell. He will be missed not only by the cast of the show but by his legion of fans all over the world.
He was born in 1955 in Connecticut. He went on to study acting at New York's prestigious Juilliard school. The life-changing role of Wayne/Batman for Bruce Timm's animated series took him from the stage to television shows and soaps.
When Mark and I were working at the WB, we got to watch the opening credits. There is a theme with strings and colors. It was incredible. I asked Mark if he knew what we were doing. He said he was blown away. Both of us felt that we were a part of something special.
