Kevin Conroyhas been Batman for almost a quarter of a century.

When he has something to say about the character, its worth hearing.

Everyone brings something different.

He continued:

I liked Michael Keaton and I like what Ben Affleck is doing with it now.

But they couldnt be more different.

Its just the same with the Joker.

There are so many valid ways of playing a role.

Its really fun to watch different actors do it.

However, he does take issue with the way the character is portrayed.

Of course, Batman did kill in his earlier comics and even used a gun.

But I agree with Conroy that Batmanshouldntkill otherwise his world makes no sense.

Why would you lock up people like the Joker when you could kill them?

Why kill Random Thug #18 and let your arch-nemesis live to see another day?

It also makes Batman less noble than his foes.

If its just killers versus killers, than Batman isnt much of a hero.

Batman appeals to a higher standard, and hopefully its one that futureBatmanmovies will aspire towards.
