Kevin Conroy--- R.I.P.

 

Kevin Conroy: November 30th,1955 - November 10th 2022

 

I'd planned on putting up a post with TOTALLY different content for this time-frame, gang! BUT-- I simply couldn't let the news I heard (from my 'ol buddy, Jeff--- COMPLETELY appropriate enough!) earlier today, of the passing of this actor!  Being a LONG-time 'caped-crusader' fan, I simply felt I had to put up SOME kind of comment / tribute!

Like other stuff I've referred to and rattled on about on this here bloggy-thingy-thang--- there's no doubt more info and more 'in-depth' background about Mr. Conroy and his career elsewhere out there on the web, than my little teeny-tiny corner here can possibly provide! Thus, I can only relate (like ALWAYS!) my personal-point-of-view! (Again---like ALWAYS!)

To hundreds of thousands of 'Bat-fanatics' out there, Mr. Conroy became-- (and in this particular fan's opinion TOO!)--- THE voice of Batman! Starting his LONG career as the voice of the Dark Knight in the original '92 WB animated series, this guy simply, completely, totally--- NAILED IT!

Like I remarked in my pod-cast about my life-long love of 'ol Bats--- (since the CLASSIC '92 series onward, anyway!) whenever I read a Batman comic book / graphic novel / comic strip, or even an earlier reprint collection of 'Bat-sagas' from the '40s and '50s--- it'll be Kevin Conroy's voice I'll hear in my mind as the Gotham Guardian! I can think of NO better tribute-- as a LONG-time 'Bat-geek-a-zoid'--- than that!

Rest well, Mr. Conroy! This 'Bat-fan' will ALWAYS hear--- in his imagination, as he reads Batman's adventures-- YOUR unique voice! 

Of course too, my prayers and thoughts are with Mr. Conroy's family and friends!
