Kevin Conroy, best known for voicing Batman, has died at the age of 66.

The Peter Mayhew Foundation confirmed on Twitter that Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy passed away:

"Members of the Batman animated family are reporting that Kevin Conroy has passed away. We had the privilege of attending conventions alongside Kevin over the years and are heartbroken by this news."

Diana Pershing, who voiced Poison Ivy in Batman: The Animated Series, shared a heartfelt tribute to Conroy on Facebook:

"Very sad news: our beloved voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy, died yesterday. 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. Below are pictures of Kevin with Loren Lester who plays Robin another with me and Tara Strong who is in the later episodes of Batman cartoons. And then finally, one of Kevin and me in front of the huge audiences we used to get when we did our panels. RIP, friend."

Paul Dini, the producer of Batman: The Animated Series, paid tribute to Conroy by posting an image of the Dark Knight from the show:

Quote:

Batman: The Animated Series casting and voice director Andrea Romano, via Gizmodo, offered her kind words to Conroy, describing him as someone who has a "warm heart, delightfully deep laugh, and pure love of life:"

“Kevin was far more than an actor whom I had the pleasure of casting and directing – he was a dear friend for 30+ years whose kindness and generous spirit knew no boundaries. Kevin’s warm heart, delightfully deep laugh and pure love of life will be with me forever.”

Mark Hamill, who starred opposite Conroy's Batman as the Joker, said in his tribute that "Kevin was perfection:"

“Kevin was perfection. He was one of my favorite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother. He truly cared for the people around him – his decency shone through everything he did. Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated.”

How sad, that mans voice has been a constant presence in my life since 1994, as I’m sure he has for many of you, he always came across like a genuinely nice guy, pretty funny too. RIP

The best Batman! It was so awesome having so many different versions of Batman all having the same amazing voice. My personal fav being the PS4 game Arkham Knight Batman because of just how many hours I spent on that game trying to get the platinum trophy for it. RIP Mr. Conroy.

His brilliant voice work is a primary factor in Batman: The Animated Series having such ongoing appeal over the decades.
