So I'm a little behind on my television shows, there has been a lot happening away from this blog, but I was amazed to hear that Kevin Conroy will actually be playing Batman in the upcoming CW Crisis on Infinite Earths! Well, he'll be playing Bruce Wayne anyhow. We all know Conroy as the essential Batman voice from the Batman cartoon series and from the DC animated movies, but now he will actually be playing the role of an older Bruce Wayne from one of the "Infinite Earths" that are featured in the Arrowverse.
With the announcement of him taking on this role, there's been a push to get Mark Hamill to come on board to play the Joker, and Conroy seems to have jumped on this band wagon as well. Twitter user "Wall Spider" wrote:
I just had an idea. Since the CW already has
reprising his role as Batman in the crisis on infinite earths crossover, what if they brought in
as the Joker. We could finally get these definitive versions of the characters in live action!
To which Conroy replied:
Very cool idea! Are you listening
?
It may be too soon to know if this is something that will happen, but considering that these two have been playing opposite each other for decades, it would be pretty freaking cool to actually see them playing opposite each other.
On a separate note (still dealing with the Crisis crossover), it was also announced that Brandon Routh will be donning Big Blue's outfit again as one of the versions of Superman from one of the alternate universes. This will be the first time that Routh has played Superman since his starring role in Superman Returns back in 2006.
So whether you are more of a Superman fan or a Batman fan, it looks like the CW has a reason for you to tune in for this year's biggest television crossover to date.
