The debate over who is the top on-screen Batman may never end, but in the realm of animation and video games, there can only be one pick: Kevin Conroy. Sadly, this cherished voice actor passed away in 2022, and his last role has now been unveiled.
Recently, Netflix released the latest trailer for its Devil May Cry anime adaptation, and it’s filled with ’00s angst – along with a nu metal soundtrack to match. The trailer gave fans their best glimpse yet of Dante in action, showcasing Studio Mir’s impressive animation, and revealing the entire voice cast for the series. Alongside Johnny Yong Bosch, Chris Coppola, and Scout Taylor-Compton, the anime will also feature Kevin Conroy in his final role.
As a devoted cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that in “Devil May Cry,” the role of a new character, VP Baines, is voiced by the legendary Kevin Conroy. Unfortunately, this iconic voice actor passed away in 2022 from intestinal cancer at the age of 66. For years, fans have cherished Conroy’s unique voice as Batman across various DC projects. Most notably, he brought Bruce Wayne to life in the groundbreaking “Batman: The Animated Series” and numerous other DC animated shows. Additionally, his voice graced the beloved “Batman: Arkham” video game series, where he continued to embody the Dark Knight.
Previously, it was assumed that his final acting gig would have been in the third part of “Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths” from last year. However, this recent disclosure suggests that George Conroy’s final performance as a voice actor will be in the game “Devil May Cry”.

After the announcement, the showrunner of “Devil May Cry”, Adi Shankar, shared his appreciation for Conroy’s last-ever performance on social media. He assured that every bit of what you hear in the show is entirely Conroy’s voice. He disclosed this information.
His performance was captured prior to his passing, without any AI involvement. It was simply outstanding, a true privilege and honor to collaborate with him.
The animated series “Devil May Cry” originates from the widely acclaimed video game series developed by Capcom. Launched in 2001, the series now boasts six installments, each achieving global success. If you haven’t experienced the games but are eager to dive into the new anime, buckle up for an exhilarating journey! The storyline revolves around a devil hunter battling to prevent demons from conquering the world. Despite its straightforward foundation, the franchise amps up the craziness to unprecedented levels.
The protagonist, Dante, is an attractive, rhythm-loving, agile warrior who wields whatever objects come his way as a weapon and occasionally pauses combat to perform impressive Michael Jackson dance moves – yes, this element genuinely exists in the games!
Adi Shankar, known for his work on the popular Netflix series “Castlevania,” has created a new show titled “Devil May Cry.” This action-packed series will be available for streaming on Netflix starting April 3, 2025. Here’s a brief overview of what to expect:
