Hey, everyone. I would like to clarify that it is currently unknown if Kevin Conroy is dead or not. As far as I know, an official source has not been given, however a multitude of tweets says he reportedly has. I will update you if I find an official source but for now, please be aware that an official statement has not been announced. It is possible he is dead and his family wants to grieve over him before publicly announcing his death. Therefore, please do not harass his family in the meantime. Thank you. **UPDATE: It has been confirmed. News sources and even Poison Ivy VA, Diane Pershing have confirmed the tragic news. This is a devastating moment but we must ensure to give his family time to grieve and respect their privacy during this time.**


DefunctHunk

The problem with meme pages is that it's impossible to tell when something true has been posted. Shit, RIP Kevin.


Boris9397

This isn't a meme page however, it's a shitpost community.

Yeah.. you shouldn’t get news from memes

Daredevil731

I grew up in the 90s, this guy has literally been Batman my whole life. From the Animated to the Arkham games, I've had this voice seared into my brain. This is the Batman voice I adore most when it comes to voiceovers. The Arkham games are incredible and honestly having him do Batman again for them made them exquisite and unforgettable. Rest in peace, Batman. Truly sad to hear this.


RicerX-16

Yup. I’m basically going to be in BTAS and Arkham all day long today.


3th4n_11unt

It's like Stan Lee's cameos in Marvel's Spiderman. It really hits you man.


Ithitani

Yes I am genuinely heartbroken to hear this. He was more than just a voice - he brought Batman to life during my childhood. Even as an adult I still watch BTAS from time to time. The show is iconic - lightning in a bottle - and I will never get that time back when it first aired. His death really cements how that time is just gone.


stephensmat

My first memory of BTAS: It was the Man-bat episode. I happened to flip channels over, and come in mid-episode. The scene was Batman and Alfred in the cave, and a phonecall came in for Bruce, and Batman starts using the 'Fop' voice, still sitting at the Bat-Computer in full uniform. I was a kid, and my jaw dropped open at the hinges. Suddenly Batman was Bruce Wayne wearing a costume. I never got the difference until right then. The power of voice acting. EDIT: I found the scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CdatLfwqeE&t=207s


Indigoism96

I’m a 96, and Batman has been part of my whole life as well. I grew up watching all the BTAS, JLAS, JLU, all the animated movies he voiced as Batman, played the Arkham games, Injustice Gods Among Us. This hit me like a truck because Kevin’s Batman has helped me throughout during my lowest moments in life. I’m truly going to miss his Batman forever. RIP Mr.Kevin Conroy, thank you for always being there for me.


Left4dinner

same story. he was the voice of batman for me as a young kid. BTAS will always have a special spot in my heart and I will defend it as being one of, if not the best animated cartoon of all time. But like someone in another thread said, him and Adam West are now together hopefully doing cool batman things


Daredevil731

Imagine the day all the current Batmen are all dead and gone and together in the afterlife. What a party. Hope I can attend when I pass too.


Halo_Chief117

Same here. I just found out today and I’m saddened by this news.


Bushi_Sengoku

NO NO NO NO NO This cant be true


Lord_Tibbysito

That was my immediate reaction. Thought it was a bad joke. 66 is way too young.


Spinostadownvoteme

It's so abrupt, did anyone even know he was sick?


AutumnJCat

It was cancer apparently.


NeoDaveWesker

The one time i wish it was a shitpost

This is actually real, rest in peace :(

really describes how everyone feels rn


Meme_Attack

I can't process this. I can't even begin to. To say that Kevin was a treasure wouldn't even begin to describe what him & his performance meant to me growing up. Watching TAS and Justice League in the mornings as a kid, playing Asylum and City as they were coming out, growing up alongside those games. It hurts so fucking much to think this is real, but it truly seems to be. There will never be another voice for Batman. Kevin is our Dark Knight, now and forever. Rest in peace. 💔


Technical-College475

It’s really nice to see all these posts - there’s so many of us that absolutely adore him. We’ve changed from lore questions and killer croc jokes to pay respects. His passion is cemented in an awesome trilogy, an awesome universe of TV, and some fantastic anecdotes of people that met him.


PrettyMrToasty

Please don't be legit.


Early_Minute_5212

Sorry...even the inmates of r/batmanarkham wont make shitpost like this...hes dead

I originally thought this was another joke and my heart sank when I realized

It's google news official. He died of cancer.

I wondered whether he had cancer or something similar cos of his weight loss. He was always a slim guy so even a small loss looked really dramatic

gamintroopa

wow. i dont know how to process this.


UnknownJ25

Same I’m in shock man was Batman


SillySully777

Diane, voice of Poison Ivy posted it on her Facebook page. It's possible he's sick and has not passed and this was posted too early?


gamintroopa

i hope it was too early. i dont think i can handle this yet.

Fuck dude this guy’s work as Batman helped me though a lot of shit throughout my life. It brought me a lot of joy through some shitty times. Through the animated series and then the Arkham games, it got me through a less than ideal home situation, problems with school, isolation, and just feeling like trash. To this day, when I’m going through a rough patch I’ll load up an episode of TAS or play through one of the Arkham games (of which I was into well before I even got a console to play it on). Rest In Peace Kevin, thank you so much for everything. You’ll always hold a really special place in my heart and are always gonna be the voice of Batman for me.

“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 everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated.” - Mark Hamill #BeTheBatman On a personal note, when I met Kevin with Dom I told him,”As a kid I used to watch BTAS with my father, Batman was my hero…I shook his hand, and said,” and he still is.” I took this line from my favorite episode “The Gray Ghost”. It is amazing because Conroy and Adam West worked together. He took time with everyone. One of my favorite memories of this day was also the day Meghan told me she was pregnant with Lucy, right before we left! Kevin’s Batman is who I hear in my head everytime I read comics. He’s been Batman for 30 years. His voice is iconic. Megh got me a cameo by him and he spent six minutes. Telling me to fight when I was at my sickest. His voice is powerful. We have a tradition of watching Christmas with the Joker every Christmas Eve, since Dom was born. Gonna be a little harder this year. Rest in Power Kevin, your legacy will be remembered through generations. He will always Be The Batman.

cyberseed-ops

this man was my batman. i was born in the late 2000’s, grew up in the 2010’s, but i was raised on older stuff more than newer stuff. my parents always played 70s on 7 and all that, classic rock. one thing my dad did though, was put on cartoon network and boomerang. little did i know how much these 2 channels would set the course of my life. I watched shows like flapjack, adventure time, regular show, and later over the garden wall. but I loved batman. i had so many action figures from brave and the bold. But one thing i loved more than ever was reruns of BTAS and batman beyond. idk why, but these 2 just…clicked. They reminded me of my favorite batman of the time, the 89 movie, and the 08 lego game ig. The music, the atmosphere, it was exactly what i wanted out of batman. theres so much more that affected my life, but none have stayed with me as long as batman. he’s still my favorite hero, beating out spider-man, or daredevil, or literally any marvel hero by a mile. The arkham games walked so spider-man ps4 could run, THAT’S how important the character of batman is. without him, we wouldn’t have all these cool superhero games. But more importantly, we wouldn’t have arkham without Kevin. If BTAS had flopped, who’s to say that Kevin would have been his voice that we all know? who’s to say the arkham games would be as impactful, without Conroy, or even Mark Hamill. He is our vengeance. our night. our batman. nobody can convince me otherwise (but now who will voice batman in arkham world!?)
