Kevin Conroy, the voice of Batman for three decades of animated TV, specials and video games, died Thursday at the age of 66.
His death was announced by his rep Gary Miereanu and Warner Bros. Discovery. A cause of death was not disclosed.
An actor with credits on stage, television and film, Conroy became a premiere voice actor as the title character of the Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1996).

“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,” said casting/dialogue director Andrea Romano. “Kevin’s warm heart, delightfully deep laugh and pure love of life will be with me forever.”
Born on November 30, 1955 in Westbury, New York, and raised in Westport, CT, Conroy attended The Julliard School and, under the tutelage of John Houseman, studied alongside Christopher Reeve and Frances Conroy. He was, at one point, a roommate of Robin
