Conroy, who passed away in November 2022 at the age of 66, is celebrated for his iconic portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman in numerous animated projects, starting with Batman: The Animated Series in 1992. His voice brought depth and gravitas to the Caped Crusader, making him a cultural icon. Now, fans will hear him once again in Devil May Cry, a series based on Capcom’s popular video game franchise, set to premiere on Netflix on April 3, 2025. According to IGN, Conroy voices VP Baines, a new character introduced in the series, featured in a voiceover in the recently released trailer.
Produced by Studio Mir, known for The Legend of Korra and X-Men ‘97, the series promises high-quality animation and storytelling, blending the action-packed world of Dante—half-demon, half-human demon hunter—with Conroy’s unmistakable vocal talent.
Conroy’s posthumous performance follows his acclaimed work in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part 3 in 2024, showcasing his enduring impact on animation. The Devil May Cry series, set between the events of the first and second games, will feature Dante’s demon-slaying adventures, now enriched by Conroy’s contribution as VP Baines. Fans are eagerly anticipating the release, seeing it as a fitting tribute to a voice actor whose legacy continues to resonate across genres.
