Things We Saw Today: Best Batman Kevin Conroy To Write a ‘Personal’ Story for DC Pride Month

Last month, DC Comics announced that it planned to celebrate Pride month with a huge range of content, from new characters to updated stories about existing favorites. And that now includes a “personal” story from none other than Kevin Conroy—arguably the best Batman for his voice acting work in Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League, Batman video games, and so much more.

Gizmodo writes:

Kevin Conroy, who’s voiced the Dark Knight in the original Animated Series, Justice League, and a host of other animation and video games—and is an openly gay man—will be telling his own, “personal” story titled “Finding Batman.”

DC editor Andrea Shea also told the outlet: “2022 marks 30 years of Batman: The Animated Series so it only felt right to honor Kevin Conroy, THE voice of Batman for multiple generations. And we were FLOORED when he delivered a deeply moving personal story in collaboration with J. Bone and Aditya Bidikar.”
