Kevin Conroy’s final performance is revealed in the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League “Shadows” trailer

2022 has been a tragic year for “geekdom” with the loss of so many. Kevin Conroy, whose voice is synonymous with Batman, was one of those individuals. For 3 decades he has voiced Batman in animation, movies, and video games, and though we lost him far too early, his final performance is yet to come. Recently revealed is the brand new trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, where we’ll be able to hear Conroy one last time.

Check out the official reveal of Batman in this brand trailer. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launches May 26, 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
