Beyond Batman: the secret LGBTQ stars of one of TV’s campiest show
As the internet continues to vibrate from Batman: The Animated Series voice actor Kevin Conroy’s “actually he’s been out for years” coming out, we can’t help but giggle.
It never ceases to amaze us when straight people can’t quite wrap their heads around an actor or character they love being queer.Of course, radical gayness and all associated fabulousness are nothing new for the Bat-verse.
Just look at the 1960s TV incarnation of the character–possibly the single campiest show to ever grace the small screen. It included some of the most iconic incarnations of Batman’s gallery of rogues, played by some of the leading LGBTQ actors of their day.Don’t believe us?
Don’t change the Bat-channel…Go figure that it took a self-described “confirmed bachelor” to bring the Clown Prince of Crime to life.
