He was the first actor to portray Batman as having two distinctive vocal styles: charming and virile as Bruce Wayne and gravelly and rasping as Batman.
Gave a speech at the the 1995 Screen Actors Guild Award ceremony during a tribue to voice actors.
As of 2014, he is the only actor to play Batman/Bruce Wayne, Dr Thomas Wayne (Bruces father) & Joe Chill (the gunman who murdered Bruces parents). He got to play Joe Chill in the Justice League Unlimited episode "For the Man who has Everything" (albeit in a dream sequence).
On Batman -,People fantasize about being a hero and helping someone in trouble.
Batman is that fantasy realized--not just for Bruce Wayne, but for the,audience. Inwardly, Bruce Wayne is still an adolescent watching his,parents being murdered. That will never leave him. And people really,relate to that.
I love doing the voice of Batman because of the quality of the,animation. The music is particularly incredible. Another bonus is,getting the opportunity to work with some very respected actors who do,not usually do voice work.
