But what came out of their collaboration was "Batman: The Animated Series", an award-winning new chapter in the story of the Caped Crusader. Explore the complex, nuanced world and exceptional characters created #BehindTheScenes by the designers, composers, and directors of this groundbreaking series.

*RIP* Kevin Conroy. I can't begin to describe what your Batman meant for me as a young child to now being an adult. Thank you for it all.

This show is literally the peak of animated Batman. The design and art style is timeless.

How you know it wasn't a toxic environment:
1. Nobody takes credit.
2. Everyone praises the efforts/credits others for the project's success.
3. Everyone humbly suggests luck was on their side.

Classy, WB 👌👌👌

I came back here to pay my respects. I’m truly heartbroken. Many greats have portrayed the Dark Knight but there was only one who was the definitive voice of Batman and that was Kevin Conroy. Batman will never be the same. RIP Kevin and thank you for everything!

When I read joker's dialogues in the comics I hear mark Hamill's joker voice. Same for Kevin Conroy

Rest in Peace, Kevin Conroy.
The Best Batman, for 30 years straight.

30 years later and Batman: The Animated Series is still the greatest superhero show ever made.

I am glad I am not alone in feeling the loss of Kevin Conroy . Its moving to see the outpouring of testimonials .

Batman: The Animated Series is a masterpiece.

I never realized how lucky I was to have experienced Batman: TAS from the get go. I loved how his story continued and tied in with Justice League and Batman Beyond.

[Dylan-cuty]

I just met *Kevin Conroy* recently at a con, and told him pretty much thank you for my childhood and how all the Batman projects he does mean so much to me.
He's an awesome guy.

"We wanted the show to be appealing to kids, but at the same time we wanted a show that we ourselves as adults would watch."

30 years later and I can say without a doubt that they pulled it off masterfully. Best animated series ever created. Eat your heart out Avatar... Even tho I am just a big of fan of that series too as I am with Batman TAS.

Man, we were blessed with some good animation from 1990-2015.

This is still the definitive Batman in my opinion.

[Kalebent]

Batman: The Animated Series is the definitive Batman experience.

[williamsteed]

Was 26yrs old when Batman TAS started, 30 yrs later still cherish the program.Thank you Mr.Conroy, you will be missed.

[jenkaad]

I truly believe that the animated series is the best rendition of Batman to date. I love the series as a teen, and love it even better as an adult.

[TaskForce_]

One of the best Batman shows of all time. Kevin Conroy as Batman and Mark Hamill as Joker will always be remembered for this
Edit - RIP Kevin Conroy. You were a legend to us Batman fans

My dad before he died a few years before my HS graduation at 64, loved this series. One of the few shows/movies intended for kids that he'd watch. He was into to it too and would laugh at the clever verbal exchange between the villain and Batman. The dialogue was brilliant. I don't think many animated series come close.

Anyone else watching this after the tragic news today? R.I.P. Kevin Conroy, the true Dark Knight

[AnoshMalik]

I watched these as a very young child in Pakistan on a VCR. Now 25years on I've found the same series online! What a childhood/adulthood 🥲👌
