There have numerous iterations of Batman on the big and small screens. The question of who the best live-action Batman is has spawned a contentious debate but, for many, the definitive version doesn't hail from the live-action realm. It's the one voiced by Kevin Conroy in Batman: The Animated Series. Conroy’s performance became so iconic that he returned to the role in several other projects, including the Arkham Asylum video game and its two sequels. 2024 will see the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a game set in the same universe. Before Conroy died in 2022, he reprised the role again, in what turned out to be his final take on the Caped Crusader, but there have been some worries on that front.
Kill the Justice League doesn’t come out until the end of January but, for a while, there's been some concern from fans that Kevin Conroy’s final performance might one day be lost. You see, the game is what’s called a “live service” title which, if you’re not familiar, is a game that among other things, requires an internet connection. A constant player base is also required to keep the game (and its economy) running. When live service offerings eventually stop being played, they are usually shut down entirely, making them impossible to play for anybody who still wants to.
