Kevin Conroy, iconic voice of Batman, dead at 66

Kevin Conroy, who famously voiced Batman in multiple TV shows, has died at the age of 66.

The star’s death was confirmed Friday by Diane Pershing, a voice actress who worked alongside Conroy on multiple projects.

“Very sad news: our beloved voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy, died yesterday,” she wrote in a Facebook post. “He’s been ill for a while but he really put in a lot of time at the cons, to the joy of all of his fans. He will be sorely missed not just by the cast of the series but by his legion of fans all over the world.”

Cancer has been reported as the cause of death.

Conroy started voicing Batman/Bruce Wayne in “Batman: The Animated Series,” which ran from 1992 to 1995. His distinct, gravelly voice soon became synonymous with the cartoon character, whom he went on to voice in various other projects over the following two-plus decades.
