Fans have discovered a voice cameo from late Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy in Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.
In the pantheon of fantastic Batman actors, it's generally accepted that Kevin Conroy is the GOAT. Conroy voiced the character in the iconic Batman: The Animated Series, before reprising the role in a ton of projects. Notably, he was the voice of Batman in the Rocksteady Batman Arkham trilogy (with Sonic actor Roger Craig Smith taking on the role for Arkham Origins), with his final portrayal of the character being in Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which released two years after he passed.
Dragon Quest actor Shai Matheson – who dubbed Conroy "the greatest of all time" – took over the role for the latest Batman game, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, which is a celebration of all things Batman. This includes segments based on the various films, combat inspired by the Arkham games, and generally any bit of Batman history you can find. The credits also noted the game includes voice cameos from Adam West and Conroy in tribute to both actors.
Senior Level Designer Mike Consalvey posted on Twitter after players discovered the voice cameo, fittingly included in the Arkham Asylum level. During the level, you can hear PA announcements, with fans realizing that the recordings are actually of Conroy via archival audio. He said, "I'm glad someone finally discovered the use of Kevin Conroy's voice within the game during the Arkham Asylum level!"
Conroy is mentioned elsewhere in the game on one of its many referential billboards. While a lot of them are goofy or references to unhinged parts of Batman fandom like Crazy Hambuger, Conroy's is a simple, sweet tribute ad for "After hours with Conroy: The voice of Gotham's night."
