Would Have Kevin Conroy Made A Good Live Action Batman?

I think so. After viewing him in an episode of Matlock and Dynasty, I thought he had the right physical presence of the character. Along with his vocal performance from the animated series we all know and love, he could have pulled it off. He also was a Juilliard School graduate. You can't beat that.

Hey didn't you post this somewhere else?. I swear i have read this post word for word on a different website?.

Anyway as for Kevin Conroy he does make a great voice Batman but i just haven't seen enough of him to say he would make a good live action Batman.

I think Darrell already posted it here once, with minimum response.
It's a very interesting topic, though.
I myself didn't know what to think of it, as I haven't seen much of Kevin Conroy outside some featurette interviews.



He has a brilliant voice, but I'm not sure if he has anything else to warrant a live screen portrayal.

I think the reason the two Batmen (Keaton/Bale) worked on film was their psychoesque and obsessive portrayal of the character. This is the reason I don't think Conroy could work. He has an excellent voice, he is also fine from a physical point of view (a bit tall, 8'1'' - 1,83 m according to imdb and has leading man looks, judging by some photos), but it's a question if he could fit for this kind of "obsessed semi-psycho yet smart guy" thing we got from the 4 movies. He looks more like the clean-cut and straight heroic type.

NO NO NO!! Hes great voice wise but the rest ehhh dont think so!


I have given a name to my pain, and it is BATMAN.

I met him a while back. He's tall and was in pretty good shape. He does have light hair, but then that didn't stop Kilmer.

He could've definitely pulled it off, as could Mark Hamill (Joker) in a live action movie.

Not that it'll ever happen...

LOL Hamill could've never done that neither could Conroy, give me a break!

Well Hamill played "The Trickster" in The Flash TV show a while back.

Haven't seen those episodes in ages though but I recall him doing a decent job.

Not saying either would've rocked the role like Bale/Ledger, just that they could've pulled it off.

I love that episode, and that show alot also but his acting was a little too over the top and he's never had a really good acting range other than the Star Wars films, he's an ok guy and I love his Joker voice for BTAS, but other than that, NO!
