Monday night saw part 2 air of the Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover on The CW which saw the debut of Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne, aka Batman.
Conroy played a murderous and ultra-violent version of Batman, one who actually murdered Superman, who was quickly taken out by Batwoman.
Fans arenât too happy with the portrayal, and what is rather interesting, at least from back in 2016, this is something that Kevin Conroy also wouldnât have liked, but for some reason, he has changed his tune.
Kevin Conroy changes tune on the Batman
Back in 2016 following the release of Zack Snyderâs Batman vs. Superman, Kevin Conroy went on the record criticizing and offering how he didnât like the violent Batman played by Back Affleck for Zack Snyder, as he favored his version of the Dark Knight that he voiced in the Arkham games, which didnât kill (via Collider):
âIn the most recent live action movie, that seems to have been a line that was crossed and itâs not one Iâm particularly comfortable with.â
Obviously, again for some reason, Conroy is now comfortable playing a version of Batman that is much, much more violent, and arguably evil, and who crosses the line, compared to any previous version of Batman seen on screen.
Conroyâs version actually has a trophy case featuring mementos of those he killed, including Clarkâs bloody broken glasses.
To boot, Crisis On Infinite Earths also made Batwoman the âParagon of Courage,â and of course, the future of the âBatâ family. Maybe that is the reason for the change, eh?
