Kevin Conroy voiced Batman in every video game in the Arkham saga, from Asylum in 2009 to Batman Arkham Knight in 2015.
But not just these video games: Conroy has appeared in dozens of video games since 1994’s The Adventures of Batman and Robin Mega CD.
Most recently in MultiVersus, DC’s fighting game, and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a posthumous installment that will be released on February 2, 2024.
It was out of respect for Conroy that Mark Hamill, the Joker’s regular voice in the Batman animated series as well as in the Arkham video games, decided he would no longer voice the Joker: it wouldn’t make sense without Kevin.
