Kevin Conroy
Biography
Kevin Conroy was an American actor who became famous for providing the voice of Batman in animated shows and films. Born in Westbury, New York, in 1955, he trained at the Juilliard School under John Houseman, graduating in 1978, then toured with The Acting Company and appeared on Broadway. In 1992 he started voicing Batman in Batman: The Animated Series, and he was the first voice actor to change his vocal tone between Batman and Bruce Wayne. He continued in that role for many spin-offs and movies, among them Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993), Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000), Batman: Gotham Knight (2008), Batman: The Killing Joke (2016), and Justice League vs. the Fatal Five (2019). He also voiced Batman in the Arkham video games. His only live-action performance as the character came in the Arrowverse crossover Crisis on Infinite Earths, where he played an alternate Bruce Wayne. He died in 2022.

A first
Counting every episode and film in which he portrayed Batman, Conroy played the character for a longer stretch than any other actor, whether in live-action or animation. Olan Soule, who voiced Batman in animated works from the late 1960s to the early 1980s, had held that record.
Early training
Conroy earned a Juilliard scholarship in 1973 and studied drama there under John Houseman. He graduated in 1978, then toured with Houseman's Acting Company, and the next year joined the national tour of Ira Levin's Deathtrap, where he and Brian Bedford brawled on stage at the Kennedy Center.
A role that slipped away
Conroy was confirmed in June 2013 not to be involved in Batman: Arkham Origins, with Roger Craig Smith voicing Batman instead, though Conroy ultimately returned to the role for the fourth game, Batman: Arkham Knight, in 2015.
A first
In the Arrowverse crossover "Crisis on Infinite Earths," Kevin Conroy played Bruce Wayne of Earth-99 in live-action. It was the only time he portrayed that character in live-action.
