The second trailer of Netflix’s upcoming Devil May Cry animated sequence confirmed off greater than only a sequence of flashy combat scenes and Dante doing acrobatics mid-fight. We additionally bought to see a pair extra characters that’ll seem within the present like Virgil and Lady, however one look that we did not see, solely heard, was that of Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy.

Conroy handed away in 2022 on the age of 66 after a brief battle with most cancers. He was greatest recognized for voicing Batman in Batman: The Animated Series but additionally reprised his function throughout a number of animated sequence and videogames, such because the Arkham and Injustice sequence.

Conroy’s voice will be heard within the first few traces of the newest trailer, principally gassing Dante up, calling him a “top-level risk” and telling armed personnel to “interact him with the total brunt of your firepower.”

So far, all we all know is that Conroy voiced a brand new character known as VP Baines. But from the sound of his monologue in the beginning of the brand new trailer, it looks like his character will not be working with or serving to Dante, not less than to not begin with.

The sequence showrunner Adi Shankar has since confirmed Conroy’s look within the DMC present: “Mr. Conroy gave an amazingly nuanced efficiency. It was each a pleasure and an honour to work with him.” Shankar additionally confirms that Conroy recorded all his traces earlier than he handed, that means that “No AI [was] used”.

Batman: The Animated Series redefined cartoons for me. For these questioning, our recording periods happened a number of years in the past; animation takes fairly a while to finish.”

Since his passing, Conroy has appeared posthumously a number of instances. A month after his passing, it was confirmed that he’d be showing as Batman in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, in addition to delivering an excellent efficiency in Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths – Part 3. While this rounded off Conroy’s work with Batman, I’m actually wanting ahead to listening to him carry out once more in a brand new function within the Devil May Cry universe.
