“Justice League Unlimited” was the epic team-up of Earth’s greatest heroes. Unlike its predecessor’s episodic format, JLU offered a vast array of standalone adventures featuring the iconic DC heroes we all know and love – from Superman and Batman to lesser-known gems like Fire and Ice.
Fast forward to today, with James Gunn taking the reins of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran. Fans are abuzz with anticipation for the future of the DC cinematic universe. Among the possible future projects of the new DC is a revived JLU, but there’s one huge roadblock to this.
Fans Do Not WantJustice League UnlimitedWithout Kevin Conroy as Batman
Kevin Conroy’s gruff yet nuanced portrayal of Batman became synonymous with the character for a generation of fans. His voice perfectly embodied the duality of Bruce Wayne – the billionaire playboy by day and the brooding vigilante by night. For many, Conroy’s Batman was the definitive animated version, breathing life into the character across countless DCAU projects, includingJustice LeagueandJustice League Unlimited.

It won’t work without Kevin as Batman/Bruce. However I offer an alternative to this, what about a Justice League Beyond series taking place sometime after JLU’s Epilogue and set it just after Bruce had passed away.pic.twitter.com/zz7WSOW5V4
