Kevin Conroy's Final Lines As Batman Are Even More Heartbreaking After His Death

As a lifelong fan of animated superhero shows and movies, I can’t help but feel deeply moved by Kevin Conroy’s final performance as Batman in “Crisis on Infinite Earths — Part Three.” His voice has been synonymous with the Caped Crusader for generations, and hearing him utter those iconic lines one last time was a bittersweet experience.

As a huge fan and avid gamer, I can’t help but reflect on the profound impact Kevin Conroy had on my Batman experience. His distinctive voice, which captured the essence of the Caped Crusader during “Batman: The Animated Series” and graced numerous other projects, will forever be etched in my memory. When the sad news of his passing in 2022 reached us, the gaming community was left reeling. But even as we mourned, there were still a few superhero titles with Conroy’s Batman voice waiting in the wings.

Kevin Conroy’s final performance as Batman.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Joker. His chaos and anarchy have always intrigued me, especially when it comes to Gotham City and its corrupt system of justice. And if my time in this world is coming to an end, then at least let it be with me embodying the symbol of hope and order that is Batman. Growing up in Gotham, witnessing firsthand the chaos and corruption, I’ve always felt a deep connection to both sides of the coin – the darkness and the light. The Joker represents the anarchy and freedom that I crave, while Batman embodies the justice and order that our city so desperately needs. So if my journey must end, then let it be with me making a difference, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem to others.

The Animated Series.” Batman makes an appearance on a rooftop as lightning flashes, mirroring his classic introduction. Subsequently, Joker (Mark Hamill) engages in a fierce fight with Batman, and their surroundings begin to disintegrate. It is during this confrontation that Batman proclaims, “I care about you, Joker. About saving Gotham, upholding justice. And if this is the end, then at least I’ll go down fighting…as Batman.”

In simpler terms, this is an elegant homage to the man whom numerous people view as the ultimate portrayer of Batman. Even though Conroy is no longer with us, he departed by continuing to embody the iconic character.

Kevin Conroy, who had an impressive acting resume, became most iconic for his portrayal of Batman. He brought the character to life in various animated projects such as “Batman Beyond,” “Justice League Unlimited,” and “Static Shock.” Additionally, he lent his voice to video games like “Batman: Arkham Asylum.” However, these roles only represent a fraction of Conroy’s work with the Dark Knight. In live-action, he appeared as Batman in the Arrowverse’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” storyline. This trilogy of animated films serves as an fitting farewell for fans, who are deeply moved by his latest performance.

People are expressing their admiration for X through numerous posts, such as that of @Haydenbarton_39: “Observe how fearlessly Conroy portrays Batman, even in the face of impending doom. In an instant, upon realizing his time is limited, he stands tall and unyielding, proud of his accomplishments.” The reference to “Batman: The Animated Series” added an extra layer of significance to this poignant moment, as pointed out by @DynamoSuperX: “I’m thrilled that this entire experience revolves around the universe of ‘Batman: The Animated Series.’ “

Other actors have given their voices to Batman prior to Mark Hamill in productions like “Crisis on Infinite Earths — Part Three” with Jensen Ackles and the upcoming “Batman: Caped Crusader” featuring Hamish Linklater. However, Conroy brought a unique depth to the character that leaves a lasting impression. His final scene is particularly poignant due to an additional reason. It seems this might be Hamill’s last portrayal of The Joker, as he feels strongly drawn to working with Conroy alone.
