Kevin Conroy's final portrayal of Batman marks an emotional and fitting farewell for the beloved voice actor. His legacy as the most iconic voice of the Caped Crusader is etched into the memories of countless fans, having passed away from cancer in 2022 at the age of 66. Conroy's last performance as Batman features in DC's animated film Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part 3. This moment holds extra significance as it reunites him with Mark Hamill, who has exclusively voiced the Joker opposite Conroy's Batman and has recently retired from the role following Conroy's passing.
The scene holds a nostalgic art style reminiscent of Batman: The Animated Series, bringing a wave of nostalgia. It also includes a final line that encapsulates Conroy's journey with the character: "And if it has to end, at least I go out like this: being Batman." This last line deepens the emotional weight of his departure, making it a poignant end to an era. Initially, it was believed that Conroy's final Batman role would be in Suicide Squad: the Justice League, a game surrounded by controversy. Regardless of opinions on the game, Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths offers a more fitting and heartfelt send-off for Conroy's Batman.
The animated movie is an adaptation of the storyline created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez, continuing from January's Part One and April's Part Two. Part Three is now accessible on digital platforms, completing the epic tale.
