The Passing Of A Legend
You may not know his name, but you’ll likely have known his voice
I won’t blame you if, like me, you don’t recognise the name of Kevin Conroy, who passed away this week at the age of 66.
But the likelihood is you’ll know his voice — especially if you’re a fan of superhero cartoons.
The voice of Bruce Wayne from Batman: The Animated Series, Conroy was the Batman to Mark Hamill’s famous Joker.
He recently wrote about his life as part of DC’s Pride 2022 anthology, which has been made free in tribute to him (if you have a device which can handle the app, which sadly I do not — my phone’s technologically ancient at this point.)
To many people, Conroy was Batman, and he’ll clearly be sadly missed — not least by his family and those who knew him personally.
