In television show Batman: The Animated Series, as well as various other TV series and feature films in the DC animated universe. Since to the popularity of his performance as Batman, he went on to voice the character for multiple films under the DC Universe Animated Original Movies banner and the acclaimed Batman: Arkham video games.

In 1980, he decided to try his hand in television and moved out to California. He played a role in the daytime soap opera Another World. He became associated with the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California, where he performed in productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Hamlet. From 1980 to 1985, he acted in a variety of contemporary and classic theatre pieces, including the Broadway productions of Eastern Standard and Edward Albee’s adaptation of Lolita.

In 1984, he played the title role in Hamlet at the New York Shakespeare Festival. He came back to television in the 1985 TV movie Covenant and had a role on another daytime soap drama, Search for Tomorrow. From 1985 to 1986, he played gay lawyer Bart Fallmont on Dynasty. He was a series regular on Ohara in 1987, and as the company commander on Tour of Duty from 1987 to 1988, before starring in a series of television movies.

Though initially cast as one of the show’s main characters, his role on the show was reduced while it filmed in Hawaii and he ended up spending much of his time doing portraits of tourists on the Honolulu boardwalk. He has also guest starred on shows such as Matlock, Murphy Brown, Cheers, and Search for Tomorrow.

As Batman

As a great voice actor, he is best known for his starring role as Bruce Wayne / Batman in the acclaimed Batman: The Animated Series (1992–95). He continued to voice Batman in numerous animated projects from which the series was spun off into, which collectively took place in what is known as the DC animated universe (DCAU).

These spin-offs include the TV shows The New Batman Adventures (1997–99), Batman Beyond (1999–2001, in which he portrays an elderly Bruce Wayne retired from crimefighting), Justice League (2001–04) and Justice League Unlimited(2004–06) as well as the theatrical film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm(1993), and the direct-to-video films Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero(1998), Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000) and Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003). He voiced Batman for the character’s guest appearances in the DCAU’s Superman: The Animated Series, Static Shock, and The Zeta Project.

He is identified for being the first voice actor to use two distinct voices to portray Bruce Wayne and Batman, which Michael Keaton had previously done in Tim Burton’s live-action Batman films. In a tally of performances that include every episode and movie portrayal of Batman in live-action and animation, he has portrayed the character longer than any other actor.

The recent record-holder was Olan Soule, who voiced Batman in various animated works between the late 1960s and early 1980s; including Super Friends. Apart from the DCAU, he has also portrayed Batman in the direct-to-video DC Universe Animated Original Movies: Batman: Gotham Knight(2008), Superman/Batman: Public Enemies (2009), Superman/Batman: Apocalypse (2010), Justice League: Doom (2012), Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013), Batman: Assault on Arkham (2014) and Batman: The Killing Joke (2016).

After the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York City, he participated in relief efforts by volunteering to cook for police officers and firefighters. During an audio commentary on Batman: Gotham Knight, he expressed his surprise at the reaction of the emergency service workers to his presence. At the behest of another cook, he called out from the kitchen to the dining area in his “Batman voice”, reciting the iconic line, “I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!” (from the Batman: The Animated Series episode “Nothing to Fear”.

This was saluted by cheers and applause from emergency service personnel, many of whom had been fans of Batman: The Animated Series during its airing in the 1990s. He confessed to being humbled and deeply flattered by the reaction. In planning for the theatrical release of the 2012 live-action film The Dark Knight Rises, he re-dubbed Christian Bale’s Batman lines for an animated version of one of the film’s trailers.

He stated at the 2013 Dallas Comic Con that he had been working on “the next Arkham”, leading to rampant speculation that he would reprise his role as Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins. In June 2013, however, it was confirmed that he would not be involved in Arkham Origins, meaning he may have been referring to a yet-unannounced game from the Rocksteady Arkham series.

On March 4, 2014, a new Arkham game titled Batman: Arkham Knight was announced with him reprising his role. He verified on Twitter in October 2013 that he had filmed a role on Tim Daly’s web series The Daly Show, where he parodied his role as Batman in a fight with Daly parodying Superman (whom Daly previously voiced in Superman: The Animated Series).
