Top 10 Batman Actors Countdown

There's nothing wrong with your podcast player

do not attempt to adjust the volume. Hello and

welcome to studio 2009 We're doing a flip -flop

folks. We're flipping this week's topic with

next week's topic and next week's topic is gonna

be this week's topic So you'll hear us talk about

Apocalyptic films in episode 4 and in this episode

we're gonna be counting down our top 10 Batman

actors This can be live -action, animation, video

game, whatever you want to call it. Anyone who

has played the role of Batman in a major way

throughout the last 80 years. This is not counting

comic book storylines or anything like that.

This is just on television or in like promo videos

and that kind of stuff, movies, cartoons, like

I said. I also want to say that Steve and I's

lists will often change depending on our mood.

So this top 10 list is current for this episode

for how we listed them for this episode. Yes,

yes. Yes, yes, and hopefully the Because the

only way we can get the Joker into a top 10 Batman

episode list is if he actually does some math

and counts the numbers Counting how dare you

sir? Just think of it as a bunch of captain clowns

He killed captain clown, that's right And this

is gonna be studio 2009's first top 10 list we're

probably only going to do top tens because I

feel Anything less than that is just not enough

anything more than that is bad comedy Okay Yeah,

mm -hmm kind of like comedy night with the Joker

nothing but crying laughter You're a funny guy.

I know, right? So, do you have anything you would

like to bring up or say before we get into our

lists, sir? Now, I also want to say before you

answer, I also want to say that we have not,

unless Steve is looking at our Studio 2009 behind

the scenes document on Google Docs, we have not

seen each other's lists. So it's going to be

a complete surprise who shows up where. each

other's lists any thoughts before we get to number

10 sir well being that I had to remind you that

there was another Batman before we we got on

this yes yes yes it will be quite entertaining

to see how this rolls oh it's gonna roll all

right Joker take it away Number 10. Number 10

for me is from 2004's The Batman, Reno Romano.

The reason why I like Reno is because at that

time... Wait, was it 2004? Yeah. Yeah, it was

because Justice League ended in... Yeah, 2001.

I'm mixing things up here folks. Yes 2004 The

reason why I like him is because we had so many

years of Kevin Conroy, and I absolutely love

Kevin Conroy Obviously we all do Because the

Batman was a completely different show different

style different stories I Think the voice that

Reno used for it really worked and I felt that

as the Show progressed he grew into the role

as both Batman and Bruce even though he didn't

really do a vocal change for each of the characters

I Could see that a little Now that wasn't to

be honest one of my favorite series It has its

moments it does have its moments I'll give you

that Don't think like and I totally missed the

tail end of it, but I know that that's when it

got better Mm -hmm My if you don't have anything

else yeah, but my number 10 is Anthony Rivier

or something I'm sure anyways he played in beware

the Batman Which surprisingly wasn't like when

it first started I was very like apprehensive

and like kind of cranky about it because I was

like No, it needs to be Kevin Conroy But it was

like the first CG Batman series that we'd gotten

Right, which was different and I was like, okay

I'll give it a shot because the most we've gotten

are animated in various forms whether it's the

66 Batman or the Batman the Eminent series or

Brave and the Bold or some of the other ones.

And so when this came, I was very excited to

see what they did with it because not only did

they not focus on any of Batman's main rogue

gallery, they hit his secondary rogue gallery.

which was a little bit different and interesting

how they portrayed that and took that on. But

no, I mean, I liked the rendition and I think

that he pulled the character off pretty well.

It's the only voice that this actor has done.

I'm trying to... What is it he's been in other

than that? You might recognize him from He's

been in third watch it looks like and he's been

in some like other stuff He looks familiar like

I want to say he's like been in some some cop

procedural somewhere Yeah, he's probably and

this is not a knock against him at all I say

this about any actor who does this kind of stuff.

He was in frequency. Oh He played Stan Marino

in the the series. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and Yeah,

he was also on a couple of the NCIS stuff and

Yeah, yeah, like I was gonna say before you brought

up frequency I don't mean I say this about any

actor who does this kind of stuff and I understand

there are certain actors that do this He's one

of those actors that just you know shows up on

various shows for one or two episodes Kind of

thing. So yeah, very cool. It's funny. I found

a found a empty slot and behind the voice actors

because looking at his IMDB there's quite a bit

there um very cool so yeah that's that's my uh

my number 10 all right joker what's next number

nine for me i gotta wear hockey pads oh you're

going bail yeah because here's the thing I liked

his Bruce Wayne I think there was just too much

of it in Batman Begins I wanted more like his

origin to me because I've already known I'm not

so I'm not you know someone on the street who

doesn't know a damn thing about Batman his origin

story in Batman Begins I think should have been

like the first 20 minutes of the movie not the

whole movie not the whole movie exactly Yeah,

where does the last 20 minutes as we finally

get as Batman? But for me, even though he ended

up with a lot of gravel in his throat throughout

the last two films, I still love him in The Dark

Knight. I love the way he played Bruce. I love

the way he did the whole figuring him up against

Heath Ledger's Joker was really, really cool.

And I don't think in 2008 there was another live

action actor that could have pulled it off. as

well as he did. It was it was that was probably

my favorite of the three films, not only visually,

but in tone and story. Yeah. But yeah, I mean,

it's definitely a I hear the Batmobile going

down the street. That's actually the bad cycle.

Yeah. But no, I mean, I actually. Liked that

one movie the the first one I was kind of meh

so so on and then the last one I was kind of

meh But that one that one I used that one for

a while to kind of test out Options and features

on my blu -ray player in my TV Very cool. Yeah

So My number nine Batfleck Ah, you're going with

Batfleck. Yes For a number of reasons not only

is it the the basis of what started Altered Geek

As a podcast I had the name and I had it created

before as a video show, but Didn't go very far

beyond that but for the podcast We myself in

in Mike booth ninja powers we successfully Had

figured out what or given our opinion of what

we thought the bat suit should look like and

the Batman for that that live -action rendition

The beautiful thing was is we were right Like

we were like we wanted the Batman I forget what

that stupid comic is called, but They made a

film out of it a two -parter Yes, I think Dark

Knight returns yeah, and so they had the bat

symbol from that they had the gray suit like

we were wanting we wanted you know the black

cowl with the gray suit and You know the shorter

ears and more of a defined Batman and we got

that like we got more real muscle less of battle

armor and So I was really really happy to see

how that came out How we predicted it and it

all was like ta -da I didn't really like when

it was in Batman v Superman where they had him

in the almost basically black all the way down

Yeah, but in in Justice League he had the the

two -tone But it was still the suit that I was

looking for and so I was quite happy with that

the Batmobile had kind of a nice twist between

like the tumblr and The animated series almost

kind of mixed in there With a little bit of the

89 which is kind of again something we kind of

predicted and we were like, yeah It'd be nice

to also see him in the bat armor and lo and behold

like everything we predicted and we were like,

it's great showed up So but I don't feel like

he got enough time to actually breathe at it.

I really liked his Bruce Wayne because Although

it's it's very much like Ben Affleck it He has

that look of the BTAS Batman and Bruce Wayne

Mm -hmm in a lot of ways in a lot of his persona

and yeah kind of darkens his voice when he goes

to Batman but he's kind of like Cavalier and

like I don't really care when he's as Bruce Wayne

and so I I'm quite disappointed. We're not getting

a series out of him Yeah, although I've heard

weird rumors that WB is like we want you back

bad flack Which is humorous to me if they're

gonna go both directions because I've also heard

that Cavill's back on the table again for Yeah,

I've seen those rumors. So so I'm wondering if

You know things are gonna go better Honestly,

I would love to see a different rendition, but

I'll get into that later But I was thankful for

the time we got with him. Although it was quite

short Yeah, I think he did Bruce Wayne better

than he did Batman yeah it's hard to get Batman

honestly and some people get it and some people

don't yeah and I don't feel like bail really

did it he was more of like it was almost like

Bane in that third movie like it's so hard to

understand yeah yeah I I was thankful I at least

had a Batman that could talk absolutely Okay,

Mr. J, take us on to the next one. Oh, boy, it's

number eight. For me, I am going to be making

a national treasure and Star Trek reference.

I know who you're talking about, Bruce Greenwood.

Bruce Greenwood played Batman in Under the Red

Hood, Gotham by Gaslight. And he played him in

Young Justice. I really dug, I love Bruce Greenwood's

voice. There's one film of his that I saw that

I just like, it's when I latched onto him. It

was before Star Trek. It was before National

Treasure. It was, it was actually two films.

Double Jeopardy with him and Ashley Judd. And

then he was Lawrence Robertson in I, Robot. He

was the guy that got killed and I robot with

Will Smith So ever since I saw those I he just

had there's certain actors that just have a voice

That you just latch on to and I latched on to

it and I loved what he did with Batman and everything

Batman that he did well, and he's also a great

actor which also helps absolutely he's a very

very good actor yeah and he's been in quite a

few things he usually either a plays kind of

the sympathetic character or he plays like the

villain or he plays a lot of variety of roles

but I think people would most recognize him from

National Treasure 2 and the Star Trek films as

of late Also, if anyone watches the Fox series

The Resident, he has been Randolph Bell on that

for 57 episodes for the last two years. Nice.

So yeah. All right. What do you got? Roger Craig

Smith. Ah, yes. Yes. Who plays a pretty good

he plays a pretty good Batman, but it's also

kind of a Kind of he channels Kevin Conroy in

a lot of ways Specifically because the first

time I heard him take on the role was in Batman

Arkham Origins Which was the only Batman Arkham

game that didn't have Kevin Conroy, but that

was because it was also produced by WB Canada

Game Studios instead of Rocksteady And I think

he pulled it off pretty well. I didn't Loathed

the voice and I kind of enjoyed it the more I

heard it in the game And it kind of had that

Kevin Conroy feel but younger Great, it's really

fit with that, but he's also played the character

in the Batman unlimited films Mm -hmm and I Feel

like he's done a pretty good job taking on the

mantle of the bat Overall, he has very much so

All right moving on mr. J. It's number seven

lucky number seven That's right, and we gotta

go at least I gotta go with Someone who will

be Batman forever No, that's right. Yes, that's

right Val Kilmer I like oh come on Okay, I'm

done. I liked Val. I thought it was better than

he was better than Clooney. I'll give you that

Yeah, and that guy's nowhere on my list. Yeah

Yeah Val Was interesting because Batman forever

say, you know people can say what they want about

Joel Joel Schumacher and everything else But

Batman forever still to me regardless of how

much I enjoyed it Regardless of how much when

that movie came out 95 my 15 year old brain heart

and other body parts had a crush on Nicole Kidman

at the time because of that movie Val Kilmer

as Batman and Bruce Wayne he did Batman a little

bit more subtly but he really pulled he didn't

pull any punches with the Bruce part because

it was Don't want to say it was an origin story

for Batman, but you look at Batman 89. We kind

of got sort of how Martha and Thomas got murdered

But in forever we get what happened to Bruce

and how he discovered the cave and I thought

That Val had done a really good job with that

aspect of it. Well, and you also got the Dick

Grayson introduced yeah Christopher O'Donnell

yes well for the first time ever having that

in the films and then or since I find it funny

that him and Alfred were the only carryovers

from Batman forever to Batman and Robin but no

I liked it because I like Tommy Lee Jones and

Jim Carrey Although I didn't much care for the

portrayals of either but it did like seeing them

in it and Apparently the other bad cycle outside.

Yes, apparently the two did butt heads though

during the movie so not surprising But but yeah,

I mean it's these films unfortunately have aged

poorly On a whole but yeah, I mean it you could

do worse But that's that's still pretty close

to the bottom as far as. See, I don't think so.

OK, Batman and Robin, you know, whatever. I don't

really care that much. I mean, I like it. I enjoy

it, but it's not. It's too comic booky, whereas

Batman Forever is super 90s comic book, but it

also, like I said, has that serious part to it

and. Don't know I just felt like the biggest

comic book parts of Batman and Batman and Batman

forever were Riddler and two -faced, you know,

cuz and a god am I Anyway moving on mr. J. Oh,

wait, did you give yours for number seven? No,

I did not get these things You're gonna be like

all whiny about it and stuff. Oh, no. Yes, you

will No, I won't. Diedrich Bader. And I say this

because although you may not care for his portrayal

in The Brave and the Bold, he does play the character

really well. And the show for what it is, is

very entertaining. And it's actually one of the

few that my kids actually got into when I was

getting those DVDs for review. It's because I

was just like okay, you can watch this because

it's pretty light Not not as campy as like the

the 60s stuff, but it's it's got a little bit

of the CG aspect But a lot of the animation,

but a lot of lighter colors, and so it's not

as dark Right and so it's still kind of kid -friendly

but it it overall I didn't mind it and I think

that he pulled it off and he must have done well

enough with that because that's why he's back

in the Harley Quinn series as Batman Although

I have not heard him in the role. I Have I've

tried to find you I was trying to find YouTube

videos because I was about to get a DC Universe

Free trial because I haven't done that yet Just

to watch him in the Harley Quinn series and I

know everyone's raving about the Harley Quinn

series So I'll check it out at some point. I've

managed to see at least one YouTube clip where

he's in it and The YouTube clips that they showed

where he was just grunting he wasn't really like

she was Harley was talking and he's his answers

were You know, but it's a very it's not It's

a complete departure from the Brave and the Bold.

It's a much darker Batman. And I'll say this

mainly for our listeners who are new, because

this show is new. My biggest problem with Diedrich

Bader as Batman always was not the fact that

he was a bad voice for Batman. It was because

the only place I knew him from before that was

as Oswald on the Drew Carey show. So having a

comp... Like an actor be a comedy character and

then go from that to being Batman. I was like

fucking Oswald But I've come to sense, you know

Respect what he did for it, even though brave

and the bold is not my I just I The silver age

is not my my target demographic. I don't think

because obviously I wasn't born then I Can see

So anyways, I think that's moving on time. Yes.

Let's have a Joker. It's time for number six.

Who's your favorite Batman at number six, Joker?

I'll give you a number six. You can go first

this time, so I don't forget. Adam West And I

say Adam West because he's kind of the definitive

even though there were two before him He's kind

of the definitive like 60s through 70s through

80s Batman until Keaton took the role. Yep, so

I loved hearing him. I mean, I know there were

other voice actors too, but I liked when he was

in the Scooby -doo stuff. I liked him when he

was in the the Justice friends and you know all

these other Different programs that were on throughout

that time span plus the 60s show It's still one

of my favorites Portrayals of live -action of

Batman without having to get a little too crazy

on it Yeah Very cool plus plus he did the animated

Stuff before he died Yes, he did do the two new

animated films before he passed away Interesting

and I'll talk about this in a moment when we

get to my choice at number five later on but

Interesting note. He did not voice Batman in

the cartoons In the 60s Walker and the 70s. No,

it was a guy named Olan soul Because you're you're

thinking of super friends and all of that. I

thought for the longest time It was also Adam

West with Casey case and Miss Robin. It's not

it's a guy named Olan soul. Anyway Interesting.

No. Well, he played it. He didn't do it in the

super friends, but he did the new adventures

of Batman Judy yes He was the new adventures

of Batman 77 TV showed you are right about all

and soul though with the rest of them but he

also did the legendary super powers show and

super powers team galactic guardians and But

yeah, all and so we'll had pretty good run on

a lot of the old stuff too. Yep. All right for

my choice It's a turtles connection folks, that's

right. Mr. Lego himself will our net Lego Batman

I was not sure what I was gonna feel about Will

Arnett as the voice of Batman, but once I heard

it and once I saw what Lego Batman was doing

in the film I was like, oh yeah, this really

rules I It's funny because he's He's one of my

favorites as well just because not not because

of the Lego movies cuz honestly I thought they

were garbage and the I didn't really care for

that either, but I did like his portrayal, like

his voice, and I liked how he portrayed it. And

then you had Batman with all the different uniforms

and everything else. But I think he's still a

pretty solid Batman, especially since he's taken

on the Lego role itself as the primary, like

he's not played any other Batman other than the

Lego, but that's fine. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. Alright

joker, I think we can move on to the next one.

It's time for number five For me it's a tie and

I I'm usually the one that hates when people

do this But I have to do this because it's the

only way I can fit both of them in Adam West

and Olan Sul I grew up as a kid in the 80s watching

the Adam West 66 show reruns on TV. And until

Michael Keaton came along, Adam West was my Batman.

So much so that I thought all of the 70s animation,

70s and 80s animation was him until I think about

five or 10 years ago, somebody set me straight

and said it was also Olaan Soule. Now I've watched

several different clips of Olaan Soule's voice

with Casey Kasem as Robin and I just feel that

Olan's voice suits the 70s animated Batman just

a little bit more than Adam West. But Adam, in

the Batman television show and in the 60s, you

know, Batman's the movie, Adam West was, you

know, a classic actor. And the way that he was

able to more so in the feature film after the

first season of the TV series, The way he was

able to play Bruce Wayne the way he was able

to add more to the character You know people

always say that you know, oh 66 Batman. That's

nothing but camp and fun and blah blah blah As

any have any of you read? the 60s runs of Batman

lately or the 50s and 60s and 70s runs of Batman

comics lately because It was all crazy wacky

stuff. So It wasn't that dark at least I don't

think it was But yeah, that's that's my choice

for this entry What about you sir number five

for you? Will Arnett I've already said my piece.

Yep Yeah, we did not look at each other's list

folks and it's funny because as as we've been

recording this episode My list has actually moved

a few things around as it's gone on. Nothing

has actually changed but I Had to move a few

numbers All right, mr. J. What's next? Well,

it's time for number four So I found a way to

get Dick Grayson In here as Batman Now I'm hoping

we can I'm hoping I can embed or at least link

to the the Twitter post Kyle Higgins Nightwing

writer for DC. He's done a bunch of other things.

He worked on Power Rangers for boom studios He's

got a bunch of creator on stuff that he does

Years ago he worked on a series called Batman

gates of Gotham Well, in this Dick Grayson was

Batman. He put together an animated promo preview

thing and got several voice actor friends to

voice the characters. Lauren Lester voiced Dick

Grayson Batman because hello, Lauren Lester was

always Dick Grayson. So yeah, I just I love hearing

Lauren say the lines from Gates of Gotham. It's

so good. What about you, sir? My number four

is Bruce Greenwood. Funny enough. So I mean,

I don't really have to say too much about him

because like we kind of already got the gist

of it. Like we both really like the actor. He's

really good. Yeah. And obviously, the first time

we heard him was Red Hood. But I think he's done

a pretty solid job so far. And I think that I

wouldn't be disappointed if you kept doing it.

That's that's I guess where I'm trying to go

with this. Yeah So that's my number four Alrighty

then it's time for number three For me it's the

original Dark Knight from 1989 Michael Keaton

Of course it would be I Liked what Michael Keaton

did with Bruce Wayne in the 89 film Batman returns

has never really been one of my favorites Not

because of him but just because the overall film

I wish he had a better shot at it You know, but

sadly he didn't But yeah, that's I just in that

89 film You know, we hadn't seen anything up

to that point. We hadn't seen a dark Batman on

on screen so we didn't know what the heck we

were gonna get into with it and I think he gave

both a really great portrayal as Batman and as

Bruce because Well, he didn't really change his

voice for Bruce and Batman there is a little

bit of a tonal change throughout for me the best

part of that movie is When you see Bruce Wayne

crack He's like you want to get nuts. Come on.

Let's get nuts. I Love I love Keaton and pretty

much anything he's in And it's funny because

he still refers to himself as the Batman. He

is very much the epitome of what the Kevin Conroy

Batman is in Batman Beyond. He's like, but I

wasn't being called by my real name. And then

he's like, what is it? Oh yeah, I get it. Course

you would you know you know and so and that's

how I feel Keaton is because he's kind of the

one that set this whole like superhero thing

in motion I mean, I know Reeve did it before

him in the film film universe But he was pretty

much the first dark entry that we got up with

more of a gravitas and more of a Budget thrown

behind it And it kind of set in motion all of

the stuff we got in the 90s and all the stuff

we got in the 2000s and kind of was the precursor

to it all. And although he didn't continue with

the role beyond returns, we did get a nice portrayal

out of him. And I loved the black suit. Yeah.

And I had like all the toys when it came out.

But I was I was just excited that he He was a

part of that and I think before that everybody

was like, oh he's gonna suck cuz he's a comedy

actor and I just thought it was humorous because

He he can pull off dark roles really really well

Yeah, you can the funny thing is I recently saw

because we live in the times we live in currently

Most high school graduations are kind of cancelled

Mm -hmm, or they're doing these graduation things

from home. I saw a video on Facebook where He

did a commencement speech He did the commencement

speech and he goes I just got two words for you.

I'm Batman Yeah, I was like, oh hell yes And

he does it on talk shows, too. He's done it on

Saturday Night Live. Like, I guess he took all

the Saturday Night Live cast out to dinner like

Bruce Wayne would. And when he hosted the one

time and he's like, I'm Batman. Like, I don't

know. I just think that's really cool that he

embraces it and he still loves it. But I really,

I really want to see him come back and play Bruce

Wayne in a Batman Beyond movie. Yeah, because

I honestly like I've been pushing for that concept

Since like the early 2000s like ever since like

Batman Beyond came out I saw him and I saw somebody

photoshopped him as old man Bruce and Then they

had at the time it was like the kit the guy that

played He was in heroes. He was like the guy

that could take on any power to begin with That

Milo Ventimiglia or something like that they

had him as like Terry McGinnis to begin with

but obviously they'd be have to cast younger

now, but But yeah, I would love to see Keaton

take on the Batman role Especially since he still

embraces it and he's about the age that he could

play the old man Bruce pretty believably Yep

Absolutely, so speaking of old man Bruce my number

three is Will Friedel He's young man Terry. Yes.

He is young man Terry. I Like the actor since

he was in boy meets world And I feel like it's

really fitting that he got to play kind of a

darkened character very serious compared to His

character in boy meets world of Eric where he

started out pretty decent and then he became

like Pretty much an airhead by the end of the

series You know, talks with squirrels. You could

say he became a prophet. Yeah, talks with squirrels.

And had his own, like, he won his own island

or something. Governor mayor or something. I

don't know. Anyways, I really like his portrayal

I think that he did a pretty solid job and I

like that anytime they bring back like the Batman

Beyond character He gets to play it Plus he's

also played in a couple of the other ones is

like Nightwing or a Green Lantern. So yep Yeah,

that's very cool All right, what's next mr. J

Oh, we're going to get nuts here with number

two For me everything you just said Wilfredo

I almost left him off the list though I was thinking

about it before you even said it and I was looking

at my list and like oh shit. You're right. He's

not there What's going on there? So but yes,

absolutely Wilfred El as Batman as Terry McGinnis

Batman. What I love about Batman Beyond is he

has to learn all of that legacy and he has to

learn his own way to be able to do it. And every

time I read a Batman Beyond comic, unless it's

a like for a while in like 2015, Tim Drake was

Batman Beyond. It's a whole storyline thing,

whatever. But As long as it's always Terry in

the suit in Batman Beyond, I always hear Will's

voice in my head when, you know, I hear, you

know, Batman Beyond, and he's just a really great

actor, voice actor, live action actor. It's just

so fun seeing him. And he was also Ron Stoppable

in Kim Possible. So there's always a plus with

Will Friedle. Exactly. Who is your entry at this

level? Michael Keaton. For all the reasons I

already listed. So I don't have to go any more

in depth. Exactly. He's so good. Alright Mr.

J, take us to the next or the final number. The

final one well this guy's been a pain in my side

he killed the captain clown and well I Just wouldn't

be anywhere without him Because he's the Batman

No, you should get it right and we should put

this clip right here This is Kevin Conway, and

I am the goddamn Batman He's that Batman So yes,

even though we have not seen each other's lists

folks It was if you've heard us on podcast in

the last 11 years For both of us to not put Kevin

Conroy at number one. It would be a travesty

yes, and The greatest thing is that he finally

got to play Live action Bruce Wayne although

sadly enough. I wasn't completely happy with

the I Wish it was different too, but I'm just

happy to see him. You got to do it. Yeah Yeah,

absolutely But Kevin Conroy is the ultimate voice

for Batman He really really is I don't know How

anyone can argue against that Because Kevin Conroy

did something to that point that no one else

had done He gave Batman and Bruce Wayne their

own individual character voices. It wasn't just

the same voice for each side of the character.

Bruce Wayne is soft -spoken kind of in the show,

whereas Batman is more deep and dark. And as

he progressed through the DC universe, DC anime

universe, it got even darker as time goes on,

I think. One of my favorite lines is from Justice,

one of the Justice League Unlimited episodes,

I believe, from the Dr. Destiny episode where

he's like, It's not a good thing to be inside

my brain It's not a good place to be kind of

I just I love that line and I because it drives

them nuts Yep, like they just can't fathom how

this guy is functional like cuz they're like

he's baddie Literally like they're they're like

I just I don't even know and Kevin Conroy has

been playing the voice of Bruce Wayne and Batman

for 25 years now 26 He's been playing since 92

yeah Yeah, which 92 Yeah He's 28 almost 30 years

almost 30 years. Oh my god, I mean Whatever they

approach him to play Batman. Sometimes it's a

different way of playing it Like, the way he

sounds in the Arkham games that he's in, yes,

it's his Bruce Wayne in Batman, but it's also

different than what he did in the animated series.

It's also a little different than what he obviously

did in Batman Beyond, because that was a much

older voice. And I just love that he approaches

it the way that he does. Oh yeah, totally. Like,

he's by far... the best definitive Batman that

we've ever gotten. But yeah, I mean, I honestly

just love the portrayal. Yeah, me too. I only

wish we could have more Conroy Hamill adventures

with the two of them. because before Darwin Cook

passed away, for the 75th anniversary of Batman,

he put together a Batman Beyond short. And even

though the Joker's not in it, I absolutely love

what Kevin did with the voice because I can't,

I... Can't stop smiling every time he ends up

smiling. So in this short it's him and Terry

is Batman Beyond and obviously Terry's voice

by Wilfredo and He ends up on old Bruce ends

up on the floor and he just says Batmobile Ignition

and when he says it says ignition Batman has

like the biggest Cheesiest grin on his face and

I'm like, oh that is so good Yeah, I agree it

was it was rather nice seeing him take on that

that role again and and play it I I honestly

I could do with more Kevin Conroy Yep Absolutely
