Well, as if Arrow's Katie Cassidy, Firefly and Gotham's Morena Baccarin, Hercules's Kevin Sorbo,
Luke Perry & Kristy Swanson from Buffy and the Eighth Doctor himself, Sylvester McCoy weren't enough, it's been announced that Mr. Vengeance/The Night/he's been the voice of Batman since before you knew what a Batman was Kevin freakin' Conroy is going to be at Minneapolis Wizard World this May. Also appearing are awesome artists like Neal Adams, Salvador Larroca, Angel Medina and Tom Richmond.
