Is Kevin Conroy the best voice behind Batman?

Opinions? I view a lot of comments that people think Conroy is the best and only voice to portray Batman in animated media. He's the most recognizable but I don't agree 100%. The voice actor behind The Batman was pretty good. This comes up after I viewed a Youtibe video for Batman: Year One.

Yes he is (for an adult version of batman of course). I would rate it above christian bale and michael keaton as his voice matches a batman that is more serious about his work as a crimefighter, and confident in everything he does. This is the batman i like to watch.

Fully agree. While I've enjoyed other voice actors, Conroy remains my favourite. I grew up with the 90's animated series, and I still think the best Batman movie (both animated and live-action) so far is "Mask of the Phantasm".

On another note, I think we can all agree that Mark Hammil is the definitive Joker.

Conroy is the only Batman voice actor for me. Others might as well not have done anything.

Also, Mark Hammil is the voice of the Joker. Batman TAS really was something special.

Your perception of this really stems from the Batman that is most familiar and loved by you. I think the Batman in Batman: The Animated Series is the epitome of Batman second only to the representation in the comics. Kevin has the perfect voice for Batman. In the new Batman Origins game it is not Kevin and I noticed and I find it bothers me at times. Clearly, it is a game where Batman is younger and I understand the choice but Kevin is Batman to me. Others may feel differently.

I enjoyed the old Adam West version. Of course I was a child when it originated, fully missing the campiness and the poor acting.
