Every Batman Ranked From Worst To Best
3. Kevin Conroy
A virtually unknown name outside of fan circles, Kevin Conroy is easily longest-serving denizen of the cape and cowl, having portrayed Batman in pretty much every non-film outing hes had since 1992. Whether its animated series, straight-to-video cartoon feature films, or video games, Conroy is your boy for a muscular, assured take on the Batman voice.
Naturally, the fact that Conroys Batman is animated gives a lot more latitude for impressionistic interpretations of the characters look; the smooth, controlled, masterful mien Conroy gives to his Batman fits with the blank-eyed, more-chin-than-man look of his incarnation beautifully.
The contrast between his Batman and the breathy, often angsty Bruce Wayne is different enough, but subtle enough, for you to believe theyre two sides of the same man.
Remarkably, you can also actually hear what hes saying. During a fan forum at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo in 2010 he registered his bafflement at the fact that nobody had pointed out to Christian Bale that he was borderline indecipherable: Someone should have stopped him and said, You sound ridiculous.
HES ONE OF US.
