I love this quote from the Kevin Conroy obit in the Times:“I began to speak, and a voice I didn’t recognize came out. It was a throaty, husky, rumbling sound. It seemed to roar from 30 years of frustration, confusion, denial, love, yearning.I felt Batman rising from deep within.” pic.twitter.com/PO5DthoJ9F

R.I.P. Kevin Conroy. I didn’t know him well. But we did a panel together once and chatted after as we walked back to our cars. Incredibly nice guy. And, you know, he’s BATMAN.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Kevin Conroy. He was kind, talented, and brilliant. What a loss, way too young. A very sad day. May he Rest In Peace.

For many of us, #BTAS was our Batman. I never had the pleasure of meeting @RealKevinConroy but I always wanted to tell him I heard his voice whenever I drew the Dark Knight. What an inspiration his work was. Thank you Mr. Conroy for an iconic performance that will live on. pic.twitter.com/6zIxsYFEdn
