What caused Kevin Conroy to pass away? Here’s the full explanation.
Most of us (especially Batman fanboys). At the time of this writing, it must have been known that the voice actor of the 90s animated version of Batman, Kevin Conroy, had passed away.
Kevin Conroy passed away on November 10, 2022. And there’s no denying that his death has caused a great deal of grief. Not only to his colleagues and family, but also to all Batman fanboys (including myself).
Conroy = Standard Batman Sound
And how could it not? Conroy’s figure and voice have become the standard or icon of Batman. Perhaps only Batman actors Adam West (Batman) and Christian Bale (The Dark Knight Trilogy) can match him.
Even apart from other Batman voice actors such as: Jason O’Mara, Will Arnett, Troy Baker, Roger Craig Smith, Jensen Ackles, Keanu Reeves, even Ethan Hawke, are no less cool.
But still, when we hear or remember Batman’s voice actor, our minds automatically remember Conroy. Yes guys, as iconic as the figure of the actor who died at the age of 66 this year with the voice of Batman.
So once again, it’s no wonder that the news of his death shook the body and soul of all Batman fanboys.
What was the cause of Conroy’s death?
And what made this self even more sad and shaken was when I heard the news of his death. We still don’t know the exact cause of Kevin Conroy’s death. But fortunately, after days of wondering, we finally found out the cause.
So as reported by EOnline, the cause of Kevin Conroy’s death was cancer. And according to various sources I got, Conroy actually hasn’t been suffering from cancer for very long.
Also, if his Wikipedia page is correct. Specifically, the type of cancer that took his life was colon cancer. But yes for more certainty, let’s just wait again until the official statement from his representative in the near future.
Batman Arkham
In addition to being the voice of Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995) and several other Batman animated series and film projects. He also voiced the wealthy batman in the video game adaptation.
And in fact, the number of Batman video games he has voiced is also large. But of all, many of you may have heard his Batman voice more in the franchise hit, Batman: Arkham (2009-2016). Goodbye Mr. Conroy, thank you for making our childhood wonderful, and Long Live the Bat.
