    Today on I Hear Voices, Will Friedle and Christy Carlson Romano sit down with ONE and ONLY Kevin Conroy AKA Batman AKA Bruce Wayne. Kevin has been bringing the animated Batman to life through his voice for 30 YEARS! Can you believe it?!
    Kevin shares how his Julliard training and love for Shakespeare inform the way he voices Batman. He also details the origin of how the two distinct voices between Bruce Wayne and Batman came to be. Kevin is such a generous artist and it’s evident in the way he’s mentored Will, but also in how he celebrates every person who acts or voices a Batman. He gives insight as to why Batman is still a relevant and welcomed character to explore.
    Kevin also shares what cartoons he grew up watching and offers the sweetest story about his first imaginary friends. Although Kevin believes the Batman story is the ultimate true hero’s journey, Kevin is OUR TRUE HERO and we think you’ll agree.

    My childhood hero from the 90s and got to meet him at NYCC 2015 which was awesome. He is Bruce Wayne and Batman. When he says Batman is like Hamlet it's the perfect way to describe the character. Also the name Bruce Wayne is derived from two generals: Robert the Bruce and Mad Anthony Wayne. What so great is that we are going to be celebrating the 30th anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series this September 2022. Still all time favorite episodes are Perchance of Dream, Heart of Ice, Two-Face Parts 1 and 2, Robin's Reckoning Parts 1 and 2, Beware The Gray Ghost, Almost Got 'Im, The Laughing Fish, I am The Night, It's Never Too Late, Joker's Favor, Paging the Crime Doctor, Joker's Wild, Harley's Holiday, Harleyquinade, His Silicon Soul, Mad as a Hatter, Trial and the list just goes on and on because it's really hard to choose your favorite episodes because the writing for each of them is so freakin good and the voice cast with the likes of John Vernon, Ron Perlman, Harry Hamlin, Efrem Zimbalist Jr., Richard Moll, Loren Lester, Adam West, Melissa Gilbert, Adrianne Barbeau, Robert Costanzo, Michael Ansara, Bob Hastings, Joseph Campanella, Diane Muldur, Mark Hamill, Michael Ansara, Henry Polic II, Roddy McDowall etc., made the show by giving it a serialize drama storyline.

      I still believe that Kevin Conroy should’ve made a guest appearance on “The O.C.” as a security guard who lets the leads in and later breaks up a fight with them and several other patrons at a nightclub.

      God that’s what I want more than anything. Hear all the time how they’re best friends, there’s very little footage of them outside of Boy Meets World and I think short film or something they did. I wanna hear em talk, two very funny and witty dudes (who DO sound very much alike). Hell, I even remember for Batman Beyond commercials for Kids WB they would have Jason voice Terry McGinnis for them. It would be dope to see them on panel together or something

    When Will was talking about Return of The Joker, it made me think that his performance really made that movie. To think that he was shoulder to shoulder with Mark Hammill and Kevin Conroy, must have been massively intimidating, and he still delivered a world class performance.

    Thank you Kevin, no one else was able to bring Batman to life the way you could. No matter the project, if Kevin was in it, I’d watch it. I still remember having my parents rent Batman: Mask of the Phantasm every week, and watching it in a dark room at my grandparents house. It’s one of my fondest memories. Kevin Conroy inspired me to try voice acting myself, and I hope that I can be half the artist that Kevin was. Thanks Kevin, thanks Batman.

    I’ve been blessed enough to have had the chance to meet my personal trinity of Batman:
    Kevin Conroy, Adam West, and Will Friedle. All three were some of the most fun, charming, and enjoyable people to get to meet in person. They all were so excited to meet fans and truly enjoyed their experience. Once saw Kevin stand up on a chair in the middle of a busy con in Dallas and yell out “I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!” Such an amazing human being.

    Oh my god, I'm finally checking out the podcast and I love it! I hate that I didn't tune in sooner. I'm bouncing around between episodes and I have to say, it was a tough call, but this has been my favorite episode. Batman The Animated Series was a HUGE part of my childhood, so it was great to hear about the show and more from the man, the myth, the legend that is Kevin Conroy. It was really funny to see Will fanboy right off the bat, then see Christy gradually start to fangirl, too. Great stuff!!

    Ugh Kevin Conroys passing has been behind devasting to so many of us I cannot imagine how Will must have been after working with him for so long.
    I need to go to a convention and tell Will how much he means to so many millennials! I was absolutely in the demo for boy meets world and my date with the presidents daughter AND Batman beyond and his subsequent works in the DCU!!! Your work has been just as iconic in my life as Kevin Conroy’s and as a consumer/watcher to have seen your switch over to VO has been amazing! You have so much to be proud of!

    A great actor doesn’t just bring a character to life; they find a way to embody their qualities. They exaggerate them in an organic way to get the audience to think to themselves, “I want to be like this,” or “I won’t be like that.”
    Kevin will always be Batman, always a legend.

    The question that Will asked about "Do you know of any other actor's who's played a character for a long period of time?" I know one and that was Caroll Spinney who played Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch for 50 years. I know that he's passed on but since 1969 is a LONG time in playing a certain character. That's who I think of.

  • @obsidiansands
    @obsidiansands 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think Kevin's way of being taught "acting" is a lot more fluid (and saner) than the technique of going "method". I dunno about anybody else, but I have yet to hear of current "method" actors/actresses that didn't come out of each character portrayal with a few LESS screws loose. The way he's trained speaks for itself, despite being the "de facto" Batman voice, he knows how to separate himself from *all* of the characters he's portrayed over the years. This is why, other than Keaton, that nobody else can be that iconic when it comes to the duality of Bruce Wayne and Batman by voice delivery alone.
    He's also right, by the way - creating and BECOMING the character will always bring out a more convincing portrayal than being yourself as that character.
