Yes, father. I shall become a bat.

Man, poor Kevin Conroy. I hope him and his family are doing alright these days.

I get the feeling Mark's involved a lot less soul searching.

[starwolf_oakley]

Mark has said he considered not taking billing for voicing the Joker. That we just wouldn’t know who was the Joker’s voice.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

That might have made his future voice acting prospects problematic, since you can occasionally hear bits of it creep in.

[mastermahan]

People would have figured out pretty quickly it was Trickster from the '90s The Flash.

[blues32]

Yeah, but how many people actually watched that? I didn't even know it existed until about a decade ago. Besides, his Trickster voice is different enough from Joker's. To the point that I think there was an episode of that more recent Justice League cartoon where Trickster and Joker kidnapped Mark Hamill.

I'd probably say the same thing if I replaced Tim Curry on something.

[blues32]

Probably glad that he decided to let it be known. He seems to love doing the voice. Even if he's having trouble with it now a days. Just can't get that same level of mania in his laugh.

His Skeletor on Netflix's He-Man was a very good Joker voice...

[blues32]

Eh. Sounded more like Overgrowth.

One of the “Adventures of Batman” comics had a marquee displaying “Hamlet: Starring K. Conroy.” Conroy himself has said Batman has a lot of Hamlet qualities. And both characters are interpreted in many different ways.

I expected something powerful from Mr Conroy, but I hadn't expected something quite so excoriating The whole story is genuinely heartbreaking.

[zachbeacon]

Thank you for posting this.

[cyberghostface]

NP. :)

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Anyone else just hear the theme rising in that last panel?

[xammax]

I am really glad I got to read this. I grew up with Conroy as my Batman, in a lot of ways he still is, and as sad as parts of this story are I am glad he told this story.

[walkingthroughforest]

This entire story was beautiful. Big props to DC for letting it be told in such a raw way.

His recollection of the AIDS epidemic was honestly pretty horrifying.
