Nice little Q&A with the voice of Batman.
I was hoping to get the new DC animated film Public Enemies today on its release date from Netflix but its already on Long Wait.
Anyho, since DC has been cranking out animated films, they never always stuck with Conroy for Batman and I figured that was a probably a personal decision for Conroy; that maybe he got tired of doing the voice of Batman.
Conroy wasn't used for New Frontier, some of Gotham Knight and the upcoming JL Animated film. Towards the end of the article it seemed more like it was the studio's decision about who to approach for the voice talents, as Conroy says "If they approach him again he would probably do it".
Just an interesting piece of useless info I thought I'd throw out there.
