Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part 3 is now available for purchase, marking a significant moment in animation history. The film features the final performance of the late Kevin Conroy as Batman, a role he famously voiced in Batman: The Animated Series.
A recently released clip from the film showcases Conroy’s Batman in a poignant reunion with Mark Hamill’s Joker. This scene is particularly impactful as Hamill has predominantly voiced the Joker opposite Conroy’s Batman and has decided to retire from the role following Conroy’s passing. The clip captures the essence of their iconic dynamic, making it a bittersweet farewell to their legendary portrayals.
In the scene, Batman and Joker face off against the backdrop of a world on the brink of collapse. Conroy delivers a powerful final line:
“I care Joker…about Gotham. About justice. And, if it has to end, at least I go out like this…being Batman!”
The synopsis for the film reads: “Now fully revealed as the ultimate threat to existence, the Anti-Monitor wages an unrelenting attack on the surviving Earths that struggle for survival in a pocket universe.”
This film not only concludes a major storyline but also serves as a tribute to Kevin Conroy’s enduring legacy as the voice of Batman.
