Ah, 2019! The year CW's 'Crisis on Infinite Earths' made waves, especially with the introduction of the iconic Kevin Conroy as future Bruce Wayne. For any Batman aficionado, this was the crossover dream they didn't know they had. As reported by IGN, fans across the globe rejoiced at the merging of universes, timeframes, and legendary characters.
From Voice to Vision: Conroy's Transition
Batman fans have adored Kevin Conroy for years, primarily due to his distinct voice as the Caped Crusader in "Batman: The Animated Series." So, to witness him stepping into the very shoes of an older Bruce Wayne was truly the cherry atop the DC cake. The TCA summer press tour brought the stellar announcement: "Kevin Conroy, the legendary voice behind Batman: The Animated Series, will portray Bruce Wayne from the future in the five-part Crisis on Infinite Earths Crossover."

But Conroy wasn't the only surprise. The 2019 Comic-Con became a hub of revelations when Brandon Routh, previously known for his Superman role, announced his reappearance in the crossover event. And not just any Superman – he'd portray the "Kingdom Come" version. Oh, and who can overlook his sneakily suggestive shirt at the panel, giving DC detectives a hint of what was to come?
The Super Schedule:
For those who were marking their calendars, CW’s grand event spanned across two quarters:
Supergirl (Dec 8, 2019)
Batwoman (Dec 9, 2019)
The Flash (Dec 10, 2019)
Arrow & DC's Legends of Tomorrow (Jan 14, 2020)
Each episode was a thread in the elaborate tapestry that was "Crisis on Infinite Earths."
Reflecting on this DC dynamite of an event, it’s evident that it wasn't just about superheroes and epic battles. It was about celebrating legends, both old and new, and witnessing unexpected alliances and crossovers. And, of course, our man of the hour, Kevin Conroy, bridging the animated and real worlds, proving that Batman truly is timeless.
