The Batman (Patreon)

Not the type of thing I normally post, but I sketched this today when I got to my desk, and if it's going on Twitter you better believe it's going here first, so here we are. 

Won't go on too much on this subject. There's a vibe I like to cultivate around this place, and "memorials" run counter to that vibe in a big way. But this one is my personal tribute to voice actor Kevin Conroy, who passed today. To me, this guy will always be what Batman's voice is supposed to sound like. The original Batman: The Animated Series was not only one of the best Batman productions, I'd argue it's one of the best animated projects to ever come out of America, period. Conroy's performance was inseparable from that success and quality. Before him, correct me if I'm wrong, but I can't think of another actor who even bothered doing different voices if he was talking as Bruce Wayne or Batman, or at least no one else pulled it off as well before him. 

So how about it? Ever watched the old show? Did it have the impact on you and your creativity the way it did mine? Any particular Conroy line deliveries that you thought were great? I'd love to hear about them in the comments. I could talk about Batman Animated Series stuff all day.
