Alfred: Master Bruce, can you hear me? I'm detecting someone tracking your movement through the city. Bruce: I knew he would. Alfred: I… think I may have missed something, sir. Who are you talking about?

Goodbye Arleen Sorkin. thank you for helping give us this absolute legend of a character.

Like a lot of people. Batman the Animated Series was a big influence on me and seeing the passing of Kevin Conroy and Arleen Sorkin feels like an extreme loss. Thankful for all the amazing stories they gave us.

The Final Moment of the Greatest Batman: Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill square off one last time... 🥺😭

"And if it has to end, at least I get to go out like this. Being Batman."

Heroes & Villains The DC Animated Universe - Paper Cut-Out Portraits and Profiles

More Batman

In the midst of the Thanagarian invasion of Earth, Batman was forced to reveal his identity to his teammates and provide the Batcave as a temporary meeting place for the League in planning a counterstrike.  After successfully retaking the Watchtower from Thanagarian forces, Batman resolved to end the threat by sacrificing himself and piloting the Watchtower through the Earth's atmosphere in an attempt to plunge it into a Hyperspace Bypass (a machine that would generate a wormhole through Earth). Before launching the escape pod containing his comrades, he expressed his gratitude for having known and served with them. As Batman lost consciousness due to the heat surrounding him, Superman rescued him as the Watchtower destroyed the Bypass.  

Following the the defeat of the Thanagarians, Batman and the five remaining members reformed the Justice League with a new Watchtower and an expanded roster of heroes. Batman was instrumental in recruiting Green Arrow who, along with other normal human Justice League members, helped keep the League from becoming an autonomous metahuman army. 

Despite being far from the most social among the League members, Batman would go beyond certain expectations to save his allies. One instance where Wonder Woman was transformed into a pig by the sorceress Circe, Batman sang ‘Am I Blue?’ in front of a live audience so that she would change her back. He also succeeded in demonstrating to Amanda Waller that Cadmus was being used as a tool to further Lex Luthor's personal agenda to discredit and destroy the Justice League. Waller was so impressed with Batman and his unique skill-set that she created Project Batman Beyond to ensure that the world would always have a Batman.  

The legendary Kevin Conroy provided the voice for Batman with the hero first appareling in the debut episode of Batman: The Animated Series.

🦇Kevin Conroy's final performance as Batman🦇

"That's not what happened."

[batboopp]

now that i really think about it, Kevin Conroy was the perfect decision for Batman’s voice. He would sit there and say that he was a hero, and i could sit there and BELIEVE it. He would say the things only a hero could say in the voice of just a human, and i would imagine myself being a hero. AND THAT’S THE ESSENCE OF BATMAN!! YOU DON’T NEED TO HAVE SUPERPOWERS TO BE SOMEONE’S SAVIOR. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE LARGER THAN LIFE TO CHERISH AND PROTECT IT.

It was very cool to learn how Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy used his family story and queerness to connect to his role as Batman. His autobiographical comic has to be one of my favorite stories from the 2022 DC Pride Anthology.

For Pride Month 2024, here's a little something mixing Conroy's comic with the blues-singing animated Batman from my childhood!
