DC fans had lost Kevin Conroy back in 2022, and it still feels like they’re mourning the loss of a performer who was behind one of the most definitive versions of the Dark Knight.
What’s interesting is, the recently released Justice League: Crisis of Infinite Earths Part Three features one final performance of Conroy as Batman, and it has him tackling the Joker for one last time. Check this out:

“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.”
“I care, Joker, about Gotham, about Justice, and if it has to end, at least I go out like this—being Batman.”
Admittedly, it’s kind of a shame that they didn’t get Mark Hamill to voice the Joker for this final scene with Conroy, but at least the dialogue feels like a nice bookend to his run as the animated Batman.
Before this scene, a lot of fans were bemoaning the idea that his final performance as the Dark Knight would be in the poorly received Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game. At least it’s going to be in an adaptation of one of the most celebrated DC comic events—and it’s as the version of Batman that made him famous in the first place.
Now fully revealed as the ultimate threat to existence, the ANTI-MONITOR wages an unrelenting attack on the surviving Earths that struggle for survival in a pocket universe. One-by-one, these worlds and all their inhabitants are vaporized! On the planets that remain, even time itself is shattered and heroes from the past join the Justice League and their rag-tag allies against the epitome of evil. But as they make their last stand, will the sacrifice of the superheroes be enough to save us all?
Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Three is now available on digital.
