Kevin Conroy Down To Star In Live-Action ‘Batman Beyond’ Series

Kevin Conroy Bruce Wayne Batman Beyond

Legendary Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy is down to star as an older Batman in a live-action Batman Beyond. 

Kevin Conroy, who has been the voice of Batman for over a decade across various mediums, is interested in playing an older Batman in  live-action Batman Beyond should it happen. Running from 1999 to 2001, Batman Beyond told the story of Terry McGinnis, who took on the moniker of Batman after Bruce Wayne (voiced by Kevin Conroy) was simply too old. In the show, Bruce Wayne/Batman is forced to use a gun against a villain after suffering a heart attack while out on a mission. Realizing he’s too old to be prowling as a Bat, Bruce Wayne allows the younger Terry McGinnis to assume the role of Batman in his own youthful way.

Despite being well-loved by fans, Batman Beyond only lasted three seasons. Discussions of a live-action were happening, but unfortunately they never came to fruition. However, in the past few years, a large market for superhero-based television dramas has appeared, which means that a live-action revival of Batman Beyond could see the light of day. Should the live-action Batman Beyond show take off, Kevin Conroy has expressed interest in playing an older Batman on the show. Asked by a fan on Twitter if he’d take on the role, Kevin Conroy exuded much joy in taking on the role that he voiced nearly two decades ago.

Kevin Conroy recently made his live-action debut as Batman in the Arrowverse crossover Crisis On Infinite Earths, which means he’s more than capable of turning his brief cameo into a full-fledged show. We’ve seen various live-action iterations of Batman, but they all tend to tether along the same line by showcasing Bruce Wayne as the Caped Crusader. A live-action Batman Beyond television show would allow fans to finally see a new Batman shine.
