Kevin Conroy Comes Out The Cave!

The voice of Batman opens up.

The iconic voice actor who played Batman in many of the DC Animated universe comes out as gay.

Kevin Conroy, best known for playing the world's greatest detective and superhero is working with DC and Warner Bros. Animation on a Pride series with some of the notable heroes who identify with the LGBTQ community.

DC Comics announced that it planned to celebrate Pride month with a huge range of content, from new characters to updated stories about existing favorites. And that now includes a “personal” story from none other than Kevin Conroy—arguably the best Batman for his voice acting work in Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, Batman video games, and so much more.

I am a fan of the Batman The Animated Series. The show opened up the DC Universe. 

Batman The Animated Series, Superman The Animated Series, The New Batman Adventures, Batman Beyond, Static Shock, The Zeta Project, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited and DC Shorts were notable projects of Kevin Conroy.

As the animated voice of Batman, Conroy had worked with actors like Mark Hamill, best known for playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise. Hamill voiced DC characters The Trickster (live action and animated), Killer Croc, Solomon Grundy. He voiced Marvel's villains The Hobgoblin and Klaw.

Hamill is best known for his iconic role as The Joker. 

Conroy and Hamill have a lifelong friendship since the show. 

Conroy worked with Tim Daly, Susan Eisenberg, Maria Canal-Barrera, Phil LaMarr, Michael Rosenbaum, Loren Lester, Tara Strong, Richard Moll, Will Friedle, Carl Lumbly, George Newbern, Clancy Brown, Arleen Sorkin, Melissa Gilbert, Matthew Valencia and Dana Delany.
