What a huge loss.  I grew up watching the Batman Animated Series and no one else could ever play the voice of Batman but Kevin.

The news of Conroy's passing began circulating after voice actor Diane Pershing, the voice of Poison Ivy, shared an update on Facebook. "He's been ill for a while but he really put in a lot of time at the cons, to the joy of all of his fans," Pershing wrote. "He will be sorely missed not just by the cast of the series but by his legion of fans all over the world."

Terrible news, and far too young.

Magical time I remember then 1987 - 1995 for cartoons and after school cartoons and TV series. I remember The Batman Animated series on Saturday mornings cartoons on ITV. Such great times that was then.

 

The funny thing is for how old the series is, it really hasn't aged. For it's time it had a great dark mysterious setting to it but not too dark. Almost like that feel and tone of the Dick Tracy 1990 film.

 

When do you ever see cartoons like that today? https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-saturday-morning-cartoons-for-mid-80_s-90_s-kids

So many gems there.

I finished rewatching this a few weeks ago... completely agree, the cartoon itself really hasn't aged.  I do hate the design changes of the "New Adventures" version, but that's just me nitpicking.
