Watching Justice League: War right now, and he's just the drizzling shits. I know some people get all, "Kevin Conroy is overratedz!", but this guy has zero charisma. Yet he's been their Batman in all these New 52 movies. DC's not bringing in the voice talent like they used to, they put that Taissa Farmiga girl in Justice League vs Teen Titans as Raven and she was garbage too.
If your iconic DCAU voice actors are alive and active (Conroy and Tara Strong are literally working for DC right now anyway), use them!

I haven't seen Justice League: War, but I do know that Kevin Conroy is not necessarily the best choice to voice every version of Batman in existence.

Wait, people thought Conroy was overrated? He was my favorite Batman in the DCAU.
Although the guy who voiced Batman in Young Justice is a close second.
And the guy who voices him in Batman: The Brave and the Bold is just a guilty pleasure for me.

At any rate, I haven't seen Justice League: War so I don't know how O'Mara did, but even if he was bad that doesn't mean Conroy has to play Batman in every single last cartoon and movie. |

Whoever did Arkham Origins did a great job. Has he done any other voice work?

Kevin Conroy is the best, but I really enjoyed Adam West for animated Batman as well.

I nominate Billy Baldwin in Crisis on Two Earths. He sounded less like Batman and more like a generic elderly wizard mentor in some fantasy setting.

Yeah, he's pretty bad.
Roger Craig Smith or Bruce Greenwood would be much better choices.
Maybe O'Mara is cheaper.

This is news to me too. I'm pretty sure the overall opinion is Conroy is easily the best animated Batman, and possibly the best Batman, period. But also agree that he doesn't need to voice every Batman going. In any case, I'm pretty sure he's said he's winding down his Batman career anyway. Not in a Mark Hamill-style "I'm done forever... unless they make an adaptation of X", but in a "I'm just gonna be a bit more selective" kind of way. |

I don't mind experimentation, and I thought the Raven voice actress was fine, but yeah, I wouldn't rank Jason super high on my list of Batmen. Not knocking the guy so much as saying I like Conroy, Bader, and others some more.

I think all of the DCAU New 52 films have been bad.

Another strike against nostalgia, but IMO that title belongs to Olan Soule, of Filmation/Hanna-Barbera fame. I know it was the age of Adam West, but his Batman still was a cornball by comparison, such that Adam West himself taking over the role was an improvement.
