Jillian poo poo posted:I like how the man is covering his eyes because the sight of Batman’s grotesquely broken body is so traumatic but couldn’t care less that his son is looking directly at the mangled corpse six inches away i mean he lives in gotham, there are probably school shootings by dudes in costumes like at least once a month. he needs to get used to it.

Glad he got to play a live action Bruce Wayne at least, even if it was for a CW show.

i kinda hate celebrity cult of personalities and "this person embodies this role" but kevin conroy seemed like a real one to me and i think he did bring a lot of small joy to people as batman as well as tried to help his fellow man as a human being. my dude really knocked it out of the park as batman and i don't know that anyone can follow him.

This is incredibly sad to me. His performance really elevated what the standard was in animated superhero stuff. That entire show really did, its insane how good all of the voices were, along with the music and visual style. The chemistry he had with Mark Hamill was incredible and still really on another level to nearly all animated shows. He had this strange subtle sadness to his batman that really worked.

I appreciate the man’s talent, but his Batman always felt too sanitized. Boyscout Batman is just so boring, we don’t need another Superman.

Nuts and Gum posted:I appreciate the man’s talent, but his Batman always felt too sanitized. Boyscout Batman is just so boring, we don’t need another Superman. Batman is an inherently moral character. The whole "I have to hold myself to a standard, I must have lines that I will never cross or I will fall into the abyss" thing should either be central, or shouldn't exist at all. A Batman who just casually goes around murdering (or, at best, permanently crippling) people but mutters "Good thing I used a non-lethal explosive" and "Luckily I used Bat Detecting to know that building would be empty ahead of time" is idiotic. It is extra dumb because the various MurderBatmen still get all angsty about "the line" when faced with a named villain. If your Batman wouldn't comfort a crying child, you do not have a Batman. You have a writer who wants to write the Punisher but got stuck working on a DC project.

FreeRangeHexagon posted:To me he was the "default" Batman, not that I didn't love a lot of the other versions, both animated and live action. But I always felt like other versions of Batman were defined relative to the Conroy version. If that makes sense. Yeah, probably has a lot to do with when you saw the animated series - I'm not even much of a batman fan - but as far as men in black rubber and parental issues go, I prefer Kevin over anyone.

Yeah, I don't have a problem with other versions existing and I even think that Conroy might've been a bit overused over the decades (I mean, variety is the spice of life), but well, check the avatar. The DCAU defined DC heroes for a generation, and Conroy defined Batman. And by all accounts he was a wonderful, warm, caring person IRL, what a tragedy. Cancer is a motherfucker.

Sucks. Batman: TAS is probably the greatest animated superhero series ever created and I’m gonna have to give it a rewatch for old time’s sake.

He did a voice for some gps service as Batman, and I’ll always be sad it didn’t include him saying “McGinnis, get out of there—NOW!” An extremely wasted opportunity.
