Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League honors beloved Batman & Harley Quinn actors
WB AnimationIt’s been revealed that the upcoming game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League pays tribute to Kevin Conroy and Arleen Sorkin, the actors who portrayed Batman and Harley Quinn.
Highly regarded as one of the best animated TV shows of all time, Batman: The Animated Series left an indelible mark on popular culture. While the mesmerizing art and award-winning storytelling put the show a cut above the rest, the voice cast further elevated its profile.
For over 30 years, actor Kevin Conroy was considered the definitive voice of the Caped Crusader. The same held true for Arleen Sorkin’s portrayal of Harley Quinn, especially since her jester part on Days of Our Lives inspired the character’s creation.
Sadly, Conroy died in 2022 after battling cancer; Sorkin died several months later in 2023. Conroy reprised his role for Kill the Justice League before his death, with Tara Strong returning to the Arkhamverse as Harley. Now, players have found that both Conroy and Sorkin received tributes in the upcoming action title.
