There have been a lot of iconic Batmen over the years. But even if you prefer Robert Pattinson over Michael Keaton, or Adam West over Christian Bale, nearly every generation of Bat-fans are united over unmitigated love for the one actor who has played Batman the longest.

And, in various incarnations — including a live-action cameo in CW’s Arrowverse — Conroy has embodied the basic idea of what we all think Batman should sound like.
