The actor died on Thursday (10 November) after a short battle with cancer, Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed in a statement.

Warner Bros. Discovery paid tribute to the screen icon, saying: "A noted stage, film and television performer, Conroy rose to unparalleled voice acting fame as the title character of the landmark Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1996).

"He would establish never-to-be-broken records as the quintessential voice of Batman, bringing the super hero to animated life in nearly 60 different productions, including 15 films – highlighted by the acclaimed Batman: Mask of the Phantasm; 15 animated series, spanning nearly 400 episodes and more than 100 hours of television; as well as two dozen video games.

"Conroy was also featured as a live-action Bruce Wayne in the Arrowverse’s 2019-2020 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' crossover event.

"In recent years, Conroy was a notable fixture on the Con circuit, greeting fans with the same warmth, respect and enthusiasm they reserved for him."

"Kevin was far more than an actor whom I had the pleasure of casting and directing – he was a dear friend for 30+ years whose kindness and generous spirit knew no boundaries,” said Emmy Award winning casting/dialogue director Andrea Romano.

"Kevin’s warm heart, delightfully deep laugh and pure love of life will be with me forever."

"Kevin was perfection,” said Mark Hamill, who played the Joker playing opposite Conroy’s Batman.

"He was one of my favourite people on the planet, and I loved him like a brother.

"He truly cared for the people around him – his decency shone through everything he did.

"Every time I saw him or spoke with him, my spirits were elevated."

"Kevin was a brilliant actor," Hamill added.

"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 exact right part, and the world was better for it.

"His rhythms and subtleties, tones and delivery – that all also helped inform my performance.

"He was the ideal partner – it was such a complementary, creative experience. I couldn’t have done it without him. He will always be my Batman."
