What a waste having him on a garbage show on a garbage network. Still great finally seeing the man behind the iconic voice tho.

He didn't even use the voice from what I heard.

Guess he's just lost it with age then, doesn't sound like Batman at all.

IT was horrible, that are doing everything they can with Batwomen to piss off Batman fans, and people don't have the guts say stop . Expect assholes on youtube who are kind of sexist so no one listens to them .

Is it just me or has the Conroy Batvoice consistently gotten worse?

The DCAU days were amazing, then the Arkham games were... well, the voice was still good but the performance was flat, then this is like... Even if you close your eyes it doesn't sound like him at times.

I mean he is old and he does sound alot like his Batman Beyond-era old Bruce Wayne. If it's at the point where he starts to break down then yeah that's significantly different.

That's because he's Bruce Wayne. Conroy has always put on 2 distinct voices for Batman and Bruce. Though he has been phoning it in a bit for a while now.

I actually felt like his counterpart Mark Hammil peaked at Arkham Asylum. He still had everything from the BTAS days but in addition he had this gravely-ness on the dark end of the spectrum which was perfect.

He is playing Bruce Wayne in the video but his voice is way closer to the Batvoice than his BTAS Bruce voice.

True, it may be an artistic choice. This Bruce is older and out of his mind so it could be he choose to portray him closer to the Batvoice. I'm going to look if he said anything about his portrayal.

Which, in fairness, was what they did in Batman Beyond too. When he was hanging out in the Batcave or just talking with Terry, or taking on thugs, or you know, Bat stuff, he used the Batvoice, but when he would talk to someone like Terry's mom, he tried to use the Bruce voice from BTAS but had a hard time with it. He mostly just sounded like Batman with some different inflections that sounded more hopeful. It was kinda subtle, but it was a nice touch.

His performance in Arkham Knight was pretty jarring and depressing. Uh Batman, you're slowly turning into the Joker and Gotham is on the brink of annihilation FOR REAL this time but okay, stay cool like it's nothing but a small time bank robbery.

Apparently Beyond Bruce and a scene in Mask Of The Phantasm is what drove his performance in COIE. I think with his increasing age it just gets harder for him to control his voice at all times. That and the fact that he apparently received little direction as they went "you've been Batman for 3 decades, do your thing"

Its recognizable to me. I dont watch the show but it seems like his voice has some robotics mixed in.

Besides the people in the community who are complaining about it. Most of these guys just like to complain. They say who make new characters of minorities, don't change the old. And they did that and they still complain about them existing .

I've seen interviews with him. His natural baritone is closer to Batman than Bruce in general. Still, the dude's, in his mid 60s and nearly 30 years have passed so it's probably harder to do. His character here was supposed to be worn and battle weary, so it's meant to be a bit weaker.

Though yeah, that was an annoying fake out in that crossover: let's go on a paragon hurt across the multiverse only to have all that just lead to the paragons being in the main cast. I won't call the Batman one irredeemable (if anything I loved they faked us out thinking Kingdom Come batman, not Dark Knight Returns Batman), but it tettered on the "look how awsomer our female character is" act Batwoman and Supergirl fall into from time to time.

Oh look, another male feminist ally who loses his shit the second a woman doesn't agree with him on what is and isn't sexist. *rolls eyes*

There's a reason we disengage from dudes like you with "snide passive aggressive bullshit"

I think it started during the DCAU days. He's more flat in later BTAS episodes and especially so in Justice League and later shows. His voice was a lot more animated (no pun intended) beforehand.

Well that's true, I always rationalized it in my head in JL/JLU as being for contrast, but either way he totally did go flat.
