Only one day to go before the release of Superman/Batman: Public Enemies. If you can't get enough of the Dark Knight, then head on over to CBR who have an interview with Kevin Conroy, who is reprising his role as Batman in the new direct to video movie.

CBR News: Batman is a character you’ve been playing for a long, long time now. Does it ever get tired and old, or do you relish every chance you get to play The Dark Knight?

Kevin Conroy: How could playing Batman ever get tired and old? He’s the most extraordinary character to play. No, I never get tired of it. I’m the luckiest actor in the world to have the opportunity to do it over and over again.

CBR News: Growing up in Westbury, New York, were you a Batman guy or a Superman guy? Or maybe Spider-Man was your guy?

KC: I was into Batman, but to be honest, I really wasn’t that into comic books. My family was very strict and conservative and Catholic. I went to Catholic schools and I just didn’t have comic books. My only real exposure to Batman was the Adam West TV series. So when I went in to audition for “Batman: The Animated Series,” I told Bruce Timm that and he said, “Oh God, no. That’s not at all the direction we’re going. This is based on the original ‘Dark Knight’ series. This goes back to the Bob Kane tradition. It’s very dramatic. It’s very noir.”

And he described to me the whole history of the Batman legend, which I was really completely ignorant of. I think that was actually in my favor, because I had no pre-conceptions at all. I went in with a really blank slate. I mean, I’d love to tell you that I was raised on it and I always had this fantasy of playing Batman but I was just an actor going in with a really clean slate in terms of playing the character. I think that’s what gave me the opportunity to come up with a very unique sound, which I did just improvising on the spot. I just put myself in a very dark, personally painful place and the voice changed [delivers line as Batman]. It just went to a very husky, what to me was an appropriate sound for someone living in that kind of intense pain.
