“At least I go out like this, being Batman”: Kevin Conroy’s Final Performance as Batman in Crisis on Infinite Earths 3 Makes DC Fans Emotional

Many actors have played Batman throughout the years, but Kevin Conroy holds a special place in all our hearts. Take one look at his portrayal of the superhero and you’ll realize just how much he loved playing Batman. The late actor was the voice of the Caped Crusader for decades starting with the iconic Batman: The Animated Series which was released in 1992. Eventually, Kevin Conroy became synonymous with the character.

Kevin Conroy passed away in 2022, but now fans will finally be able to hear him voice Batman one last time in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three. Joining him is Mark Hamill’s Joker, completing the iconic duo. As they say, the animated film marks the end of an era as Kevin Conroy’s final performance leaves DC fans in tears.

Kevin Conroy is Batman for the Last Time

After a short wait, Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part Three is finally here and will be released on digital today (July 16). Keeping everything aside, fans are looking forward to seeing Kevin Conroy’s Batman one last time before the era comes to a heartbreaking end.

As the Anti-Monitor poses a threat of annihilation of the remaining Earths, fans of DC find solace in Conroy’s final performance, which is just as iconic as the rest.

Conroy’s Batman can be seen alongside Mark Hamill’s Joker as the end of the world approaches the two. While Joker teases his long-time nemesis stating, “I must say Batsy, I’m flattered. The end of the world and you want to spend it with me? I didn’t know you cared!” Batman lifts Joker up by his collar and proceeds to deliver a line that is going to stay with his fans forever:

“I care, Joker. About Gotham, about justice, and if it has to end, at least I go out like this…being Batman!”

Please wait a moment while we gather a handful of tissues! Given the fact that this was the last we’ll be hearing of Conroy, it just makes this dialogue a lot more powerful and hard-hitting than it was supposed to be.

There's no way to prove he knew this would be his last run, but if he did, he played it the only way he knew how.

AS BATMAN!
