Kevin Conroy, a well-known voice actor whose gloomy delivery on Batman: The Animated Series served as many Batman fans' go-to rendition of the Caped Crusader, has passed away at age 66.

Producer of the series Warner Bros. revealed Friday that Conroy passed away on Thursday following a cancer fight.

Conroy frequently appeared alongside Mark Hamill's Joker as Batman in the renowned animated series that ran from 1992 to 1996. Conroy continued to serve as nearly the sole voice of Batman in animated media, lending his voice to about 15 movies, 400 television episodes, and twenty video games, including the Batman: Arkham and Injustice franchises.

No one has played the Dark Knight more in the eight decades of Batman.

According to Hamill in a statement, “For several generations, he has been the definitive Batman,”   “It was one of those perfect scenarios where they got the exact right guy for the right part, and the world was better for it.”

Hamill remarked, "He'll always be my Batman."

Conroy became a sought-after personality on the convention circuit as a result of his popularity with fans. Conroy was a stalwart and well-liked figure in the frequently turbulent world of DC Comics. Conroy's portrayal of the Dark Knight “will forever stand among the greatest portrayals of the Dark Knight in any medium.”

Conroy began his career as a skilled theatrical actor. He was born and reared in Westport, Connecticut. He shared a dorm with Robin Williams while attending Juilliard. He went on tour with John Houseman's acting company, the Acting Company, after receiving his degree. At the Public Theater and on Broadway, he performed in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Eastern Standard," respectively. He performed in "Hamlet" at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California.
