Thus informing fans through anAnimesuperhero.comforum post,Bruce Timm shared the sad news.
“I have no idea if the CRISIS part of IGN’s supposed scoop is true or not, but Kevin Conroy did not record a voice for CAPED CRUSADER. We were hoping to have him do a voice for the new show (and he was eager to do it) but sadly he passed away before we could make it happen.”

“I’ll warn you guts, it’s definitely a lot different than [Batman: The Animated Series]. It’s very much a reconception of starting over… It’s not PG-13, but it’s definitely, it’s a lot different. It’s sort of like the show Bruce Timm always wanted to make, but that they wouldn’t let him make. There’s a lot more, you know, people actually getting punched on camera, and… I don’t want to spoil it for you guys, but it’s – everyone will kill me if I say it, but it’s kind of noir.”
