Kevin Conway as Batman

Jelly Bean · 08-04-2010, 05:34 PM

doesanyone else think that fans should back off when it comes to other people voicing batman other than Kevin Conway? I love Kevin Conway, he is awsome and he is the MAN when it comes to Batman. However, he can't do Batman for ever and I notice a trend of people complaining or not not giving anyone one else that voices Batman in other DCmovies a chance because it's not Kevin voicing him. Go on other message boards or youtube and you'll see people sometimes bashing other voices for Batman. Take Justice League Crisis of two earths for example, not Kevin Conway but I thought the dude they got was a pretty good batman. Alot of people kept saying how Kevin Conway would have been better and that the guy sucked, or complaining why DC could get Kev. Hey, maybe Kevin wants to move on and do other stuff. I don't know, but I think the way some fans are hung on him, is ridiculous and it keeps them from giving anyone else a chance.

Kevin Conway is a douche. I like Kevin Conroy more.

Conroy is Batman to me. Makes me fill all warm and fuzzy to share a first name with the man, but other people do a good job too, and you're right, Kevin can't be Batman all the time.

*Brodie* · 08-04-2010, 08:06 PM

Conroy and the older guy from under the Red Hood are both great.

*Slap-Happy* · 08-04-2010, 08:58 PM

Conroy is perfect as Batman. Bruce Greenwood was fine. I say the worst was the guy from New Frontier.

*Turo602* · 08-04-2010, 09:06 PM

Kevin Conroy is the Voice of Batman. When I picture Batman it's with his voice. But I wouldn't complain if someone else were to voice him. Christain Bale's take on him was pretty good for what the movies are. And Rino Romano in The Batman was also decent.

Nah. He really threw me off when I first heard him, but after a while I totally got a bad-ass Adam West vibe from him (if that's even possible).

Worst was Billy effin Baldwin in Crisis.

Strange... I don't remember Kahless (Kevin Conway) ever playing Batman.....

But seriously. Kevin Conroy is awesome. Bruce Greenwood is starting to grow on me and I'll have to get used to him since he's Batman in the Young Justice toon.

Kevin Conroy, nuff said, lets lock this thread up. hahah jk lol.

A little *too* Raph · 08-05-2010, 09:38 AM

Yeah whenever I read anything Batman, I hear Conroy in my mind by default. Same goes for Mark Hamill / Joker

*Sage Ninja* · 08-05-2010, 02:55 PM

this right here. Is the reason Kevin Conroy is the ultimate Batman for me. I will always love this dude. Free falling from the sky to his death and he's completely totally calm. I loved Conroy's delevery on the "Can't fly. At All " line here. Kev is Batman as far as I'm concerned. When he was younger I think it could have been possiable that he could have played Batman live action as well when it was coming out in the early 90's.

He could have pulled off Bruce Wayne at least, all he had to do was darken his hair.

(off topic comment, I'd forgotten just how much a bitch Murphy Brown was

)

So yes, Kevin Conroy is the ultimate Batman for me. However I do understand that he can't (and may not want to) voice Batman forever, so I am open to other people doing him. Closing your mind to them is just dumb, I liked both the Crisis of two earth batman and even the New Frontier Batman. (even though I though he sounded a bit too old at times.)

though I think the fact so many fan send up a hue and cry over whether Kev voices Batman or not is a real indicator of just how iconic he is in the role. You never hear people complaining that the they got some one other than the justice league dude who voiced Superman or the Flash, or Martian Man hunter in other animated DC media. It's only Batman.

BTW in a somewhat related story, Mark Hammil is retiring from voicing Joker after Arkham Asylum 2.

I think he would have pulled it off better than Michael Keaton!

Yeah, such a sad end to an era if it proves to be true. Maybe in the future, science can find a way to clone a human voice so that it can be reapplied into any form of creative media. A man can dream, huh?
