Batman: 80 Greatest Ever Moments

72. "Am I Blue?" - Justice League Unlimited

You can keep your Christian Bales and your Ben Afflecks, because Kevin Conroy is the Dark Knight's true voice. He first took on the role of the character in BTAS and has gone onto reprise the part in future shows, films and even video games. If you'd have asked fans in 1995 that one of those future projects would see the actor sing as Batman, they probably wouldn't have believed you.

And yet, in "This Little Piggy", the Dark Knight does just that. It's beautiful.

71. Navigating Political Fights As Bruce Wayne - Batman: The Telltale Series

Telltale

While the Arkham titles were the first Batman games to really make you feel like Batman, Telltale's take on the superhero offered the first chance for players to really feel like Bruce Wayne.

While there were still opportunities to deck criminals across all of the episodes, a huge chunk of the experiences is dedicated to what happens outside of the costume. As Bruce Wayne, the player is forced to navigate the politics of being a wealthy billionaire trying to do good, knowing more about his friends and enemies than he's able to let on.

The genius of Telltale's game is that it made making the decisions as Bruce, caught in a web of politics, as intense as any of the superhero fistfights.

WhatCulture's former COO, veteran writer and editor.

Contributor

Josh has over 11 years of experience as a published writer, having worked nine of those years as a full-time content producer at WhatCulture. In that period he has created hundreds of articles, videos and podcast episodes for multiple WhatCulture channels, specialising in gaming, horror and film & TV. He now primarily works as a senior content producer and presenter on WhatCulture Gaming where he co-hosts the WhatCulture Gaming Podcast, a top 3 UK most listened to gaming podcast that he co-created in 2018. Over the years he has reviewed several high-profile gaming releases, covered industry events with on-site reporting, opined on breaking news, and even kicked off his interviewing career by chatting to childhood hero, Tommy Wiseau.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
