\nI still remember the morning of October 11, 2004. It was a Monday, and I got up to get ready for school, but I heard my mother crying as she watched the morning news. She had to then break it to me that Christopher Reeve, a hero to me and the world, had passed away the day before. It was painful as someone who was obsessed with Superman and superheroes since my earliest memories, and I truly felt as if Superman had died.
\nKevin Conroy knew the heavy importance that comes with playing one of these heroes. Like Christopher Reeve, he understood that he was a vessel for the character and that it was then his responsibility to have that character mean something to people.\nI was at an event at the Paley Center in New York in 2014 celebrating Batman's 75th anniversary.
