You know, my mother told me there'd be days like this
"It seemed to roar from thirty years of frustration, confusion, denial, love, yearning...yearning for what? An anchor. A harbor. A sense of safety. A sense of identity. Yes, I can relate. Yes, this is terrain I know well. I felt Batman rising from deep within." -"Finding Batman" by Kevin Conroy (from DC Pride 2022)

In memory of Kevin Conroy, I'm reposting his story in his own words. We were so lucky to have Kevin share a piece of his soul with us through playing Batman for over thirty years, and his loss is heartbreaking for an entire generation who grew up with him as our Batman. I'm incredibly grateful to have lived in a world where he got the opportunity to play that role for us for so long and in so many different productions. RIP to a good man, a legend, and one of the most iconic voice actors of all time.

RIP Kevin Conroy (1955-2022).

He was the voice of Batman for more than a generation of fans and has left an indeliable mark on the character and on the audience.

His body/soul may have passed away but many of us will continue to hear his voice as we read Batman comics.

For so many of us he is to Batman what Chris Reeves is to Superman and what RD Jr is to Iron Man. The iconic and definitive actor for the role.

I love when villains put the justice league in containment tubes. and they just sit there until the plot can move forward
