's Deathtrap
.

Another World

in San Diego, California
, where he performed in productions of Hamlet

). He was confirmed to be performing on the fourth season of The Venture Bros.
as Captain Sunshine, a caricature of Batman and Superman.
(1992–1995). In 1991 Kevin was told by his agent that Warner Bros was doing an animated TV series and asked him if he would like to try out for the voice of Batman. Conroy, believing it would be like the campy Adam West
series from the 1960s, went in to audition. He was one of 150 actors who auditioned for the role. When asked about the character, the series producer Bruce Timm
explained to Kevin that this interpretation of Batman would not be like the 1960s version, but rather based on a much more Gothic story line of a boy who lost his parents when he was a child. He lives in the caves, he lives with bats, he's avenging their death, so Kevin Conroy walked into both and ultimately won the audition. Conroy continued to voice-play Batman in the subsequent spin-off series The New Batman Adventures
(1997–1999), Batman Beyond

(2001), Batman: Rise of Sin Tzu
