The Voice of Batman, Kevin Conroy, Gives His Comments on Expanding 'Batman: The Killing Joke'
Kevin Conroy is regarded in many circles as the definitive voice of Batman, and he is reprising his revered role in Warner Bros. animations upcoming adaptation of The Killing Joke, the seminal 80's graphic novel by Alan Moore.
In a DC All Access interview, the actor spoke about returning to the role, and how the film takes liberties in order to satisfy fans as well as the story.
"Well, I like to think I never left the voice of Batman. I've been doing it for 24 years. What's wonderful about it is getting back in the booth with Mark Hamill, because that Batman-Joker relationship, it's almost like Joker defines Batman and Batman defines Joker, it's the dark and the light, and sometimes it feels like either of us wouldn't exist completely without the other, and Mark and I work so well together."
On the expansion of the story, he said that "there's much more of Batgirl in this... so that plotline is more developed, and the struggle, the internal struggle that Batman has, that Bruce Wayne has in wrestling with the demons in the Joker is much more explored.
"There are a couple of really wonderful scenes that I have with Mark that I'm really proud of." Given how long the two have been voicing opposite one another, I can't wait to see those scenes.
