In honor of the late Kevin Conroy, the preeminent voice of Batman for the last three decades, fans have been leaving tributes at the Burbank Batman statue.Twitter user Patrick Fisackerly posted a picture of the Batman statue adorned with flowers. Located outside the AMC 16 in Burbank, CA, the 7.5-foot tall bronze statue was unveiled in November 2020. "They found a use for the Burbank Batman," Fisackerly captioned the post. Conroy, who has been the definitive voice of the Caped Crusader since 1992's Batman: The Animated Series, passed away on Nov. 10 from cancer-related causes.

In addition to scores of fans, several of Conroy's former costars have stepped forward to offer their condolences and pay homage to the late performer. Mark Hamill, who voiced The Joker opposite Conroy's Dark Knight, called Conroy both "perfection" and "a brilliant actor," before concluding his eulogistic Instagram post with, "He will always be my Batman." Tara Strong, who voiced Barbara Gordon/Batgirl in The New Batman Adventures, recently tweeted, "It makes me sick to think I'll never hug him, feel his warm smile or hear his voice alive again, but thanks to his brilliance, his voice lives on forever. He IS #Batman." She ended her tribute in a similarly heartfelt fashion, saying, "I'm gonna miss you friend. Until we meet again in that big #Batcave in the sky. G'night Batsie."

The Life of Kevin Conroy

Conroy was born on Nov. 30, 1955, in Westbury, NY. A graduate of the Juilliard School, New York's prestigious performing arts conservatory (where his classmates included Robin Williams, Kelsey Grammar and Superman's Christopher Reeve), Conroy began his career as a stage actor, appearing in productions of Hamlet and A Midsummer's Night Dream and on Broadway in adaptations of Lolita and Eastern Standard. On television, Conroy was a series regular on 1987's Ohara and Tour of Duty and made guest appearances in the programs like Cheers, Matlock, and Murphy Brown.

However, Conroy's most famous role came in 1992 when he was cast as the voice of Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman: The Animated Series. Known for pioneering the use of separate voices for the Dark Knight and his playboy alter ego, Conroy has played the role for three decades across numerous animated series, movies and video games, as well as in live-action during the Arrowverse's "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover event. With 30 years under his utility belt at the time of his death, Conroy holds the record for playing Batman longer than anyone else.
