In a recent video, Kevin Smith pays a tearful tribute to the late Batman actor Kevin Conroy. 'As a comic book-loving kid...that still remains one of the absolute best representations of Batman and Gotham in any media across all forms.'
Filmmaker and pop-culture commentator Kevin Smith has paid a tearful and touching tribute to the late Batman: The Animated Series voice actor Kevin Conroy. Widely regarded as the definitive version of DC’s Dark Knight, Conroy first provided the voice-over for Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego Batman in the 1990s Batman: The Animated Series developed by Bruce Timm, Paul Dini, and Mitch Brian.
I first watched the Batman animated series like everybody else, well everybody else who was alive when it was on. When it first started airing on Fox, they did it as a primetime show first, then it moved to the afternoons. As a comic book-loving kid, as we all know, that still remains one of the absolute best representations of Batman and Gotham in any media across all forms.
So, he came in, and we did a whole show, and he’s absolutely wonderful, I think we’re putting it up this week, it all went up behind a paywall years ago, but we’re going to put that up for everybody this week. But in the episode, I was going through some s—t with Red State, a bunch of people were like, “You’re a f——ng idiot,” blah, blah, blah.
Sucks losing anybody that’s exceptional at their job, right? Let’s just start there, the man was exceptional at what he did. It sucks when you lose the ones that are beautiful human beings, that guy was such a good guy. So, I’ll miss him forever, I’m lucky to know him at all, and more importantly, I was lucky to have him as my Batman in my lifetime.
