The upcoming game "Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight" includes a tribute to the late voice acting legend Kevin Conroy.

Conroy died in 2022 at the age of 66, after a short battle with colon cancer. He had lent his voice to Batman in more than 20 projects before his death, including the TV series "Batman: The Animated Series," "Batman Beyond," "Justice League" and "Justice League Unlimited." He also portrayed the beloved DC hero in the popular video games "Batman: Arkham Asylum," "Batman: Arkham City" and "Batman: Arkham Knight."

The 2024 game "Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League" featured his final performance as Batman, but "Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight" pays special tribute to this acting legend.

"Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight" features a billboard advertising the Gotham radio station "After Hours With Conroy," with the slogan "the voice of the night of Gotham," a pun on Batman's nickname "the dark knight of Gotham," reports NME magazine.

Following Conroy's death, Mark Hamill confirmed that he would be stepping down from the role of the Joker.

"Without Batman, crime has no point," he explained his decision at the time.
