This hurts, especially for Batman fans who grew up with the 90's Bat-toons.
Kevin Conroy, long regarded as the definitive voice of the Dark Knight, has passed away. Castmate Diane Pershing (Poison Ivy) confirmed the news this morning on her Facebook page, and after initial skepticism among fans, news has been confirmed by genre outlets, including Newsarama.
Prior to Batman, Conroy had appeared on a number of primetime shows, including a recurring gig on Tour of Duty, and a guest role on Matlock.
From season 1, as Batman battles the Scarecrow (Henry Polic II, ex-Webster, When Things Were Rotten), he overcomes the villain's fear toxin with a now-iconic line.
"I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!":
Rest in peace, Kevin.
