Batman: The Animated series voice Kevin Conroy, who voiced Batman, recently condemned looting in the wake of violent riots across multiple United States cities.
Conroy first voiced Batman in the now legendary Batman: The Animated Series and went on to voice him in numerous animated films, TV shows, and video games including Arkham City, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, and Justice League Unlimited.
On May 31st, Conroy condemned looting in a tweet.
He wrote, “Protest is a right, looting is not.”
He then questioned, “How does stealing a wide-screen tv avenge George Floyd’s death?”
“How does torching a store it took people a lifetime to build avenge George Floyd’s death,” he added.
Finally, he concluded, “Save our cities.”
Along with his comments, Conroy shared a video of people creating a human barricade in front of a Target store to prevent people from looting.
