    Remembering Kevin Conroy (1955-2022)

    In this special episode of The Perilous Realms I pay tribute to one of my childhood heroes. Kevin Conroy, whose incomparable voice talents brought life to the Caped Crusader in Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1996) as well as in a plethora of other animated TV shows and video games, passed away on November 10, 2022 at the age of sixty-six. I’d like to share with you the ways Kevin Conroy impacted my life, including the story of how I met him at New York Comic Con in 2014. Rest in peace, Kevin. The world will miss the light and joy your work brought to so many.
