We are delighted to report that Kevin Conroy, Batman: The Animated Series stalwart and arguably the greatest Batman character actor ever has been cast as Bruce Wayne from the future in the five-part Arrowverse crossover event “Crisis on Infinite Earths”.
And if that wasn’t enough to have reaching for your utility belt with glee, the CW also confirmed that characters from Black Lightning will also be making their Arrowverse debut during the crossover.

This is incredible news. Kevin Conroy is to many fans the ultimate Bruce Wayne/Batman voice actor and the thought of seeing him make his Arrowverse debut as an elderly Bruce Wayne is mindblowing. The CW is pulling out all the stops to ensure this crossover is the biggest event the series has ever seen, and with Kevin Conroy joining the party it’s hard to see Crisis on Infinite Earths failing to be a massive crowd-pleaser.
