Batman The Animated Series Kevin Conroy

Kevin Conroy is many people’s favorite Batman, solely by the power of his voice. And now he’ll have the chance to play him in real-life — kind of — in the Arrowverse crossover. Per TV Line, the CW released the full schedule for the five-part crossover and revealed that Conroy, best known as the voice of Batman in Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond, will make a guest appearance as a future version of Bruce Wayne.

In addition, “unspecified characters” from Black Lightning will appear in the crossover event, marking the first time the DC series has crossed over into the Arrowverse. Black Lightning, which has been a hit for The CW, has teased references to the other CW DC shows from time to time, but has never made the leap. The actual Black Lightning series will not have its own episode in the crossover.

The schedule for the event is as follows:

Supergirl:December 8th at 8/7c (special time)
Batwoman: December 9th at 8 pm (special day)
The Flash: December 10th at 8 pm

Arrow: January 14th, 2020 at 8 pm (special time)
DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: January 14th, 2020 at 9 pm (special episode)
