Does Batman have a catchphrase? During the Silver Age era played memorably by Adam West, Batman called his sidekick Robin "chum," and in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns," the aged Batman often considers, "This would be a good death ... but not good enough ..." However, since Tim Burton's 1989 "Batman," the Caped Crusader's go-to introduction has been simple: "I'm Batman."
Without a true catchphrase, it's hard to declare a singular statement that could encapsulate the cloaked hero. However, there's one line that distills the essence of Batman like no other, first appearing in the third episode of "Batman: The Animated Series" titled "Nothing to Fear." The episode sees Batman dosed with the Scarecrow's Fear Toxin, triggering haunting visions of his deceased father's apparition that tell Bruce he's disgraced the Wayne family name. In the episode's climax, Batman finally shrugs off his doubts with defiance: "I am vengeance! I am the night!

When it comes to an iconic superhero performance, the voice is the key. Superheroes were born on the comics page, a visual medium that can drastically change a character’s appearance depending on the artist, and an actor’s physical performance is just one more variation. But if that performance becomes the voice that people associate with that hero — the voice that you hear when you read a comic, that you imitate when you play with your action figures — it becomes intrinsically tied to the character.
The late Kevin Conroy is the voice of Batman. I don’t say that in the past tense, because he will always be the voice of Batman. Conroy voiced Bruce Wayne and his superhero alter ego in hundreds of appearances across television, film, and video games, playing the character from a dizzying number of angles. No matter how comedic or dark the story was,...

They say you never forget your first Batman and for a specific subset of millennials, the dearly departed Kevin Conroy is that Batman. The legendary voice actor brought Bruce Wayne/Batman to life in the 1990s on "Batman: The Animated Series," and was such a phenomenal presence that it led to a decades-long career of being "the voice" of Batman across a multitude of media. Live-action performers of Batman have come and gone, but Conroy consistently played the caped crusader, becoming the definitive voice of the Dark Knight.
Most actors try their hardest to not be defined by their most memorable role, but Conroy embraced the character that made him a household name. In the 2022 edition of the "DC Pride" anthology, Conroy wrote a short comic, "Finding Batman," assessing the unique parallels between his life as a closeted gay man and Bruce Wayne's incessant need to keep his identity as Batman a secret.
