This is so bizarre, insulting and fucking over the top insane, I just have to wonder: is this a dream sequence? A losing endgame, like lots of times you see your character die when you screw up?
Surely they aren't actually killing Batman off? If so, FUCK THEM! If not, WTF?

Kevin Conroy was introduced to animation in 1992 with the fan-favorite series, Batman: The Animated Series. From voicing the dual personalities of the Dark Knight to breathing life into the superhero, Kevin Conroy is one of those actors who went on to immortalize the voice of Batman. Despite voicing the character of Batman in animated series, movies, and video games, Kevin Conroy disliked being a part of Warner Bros.’ Arkham video games.
Conroy did not like recording for the Arkham video games as he believed that the recording process for an animated series and a game were totally opposite. As reported by GeekTyrant, he said-
“I didn’t understand how unique it was until 20 years later when I started doing the Arkham games. Because of the algorithms, and how they’re constructed, they have to have each voice completely clean and in your own take.”
Conroy revealed that he had to record alone in the recording booth which always resulted in boredom. He used to stay four hours a day alone for the recording. He confessed-
“By the time you get out of there you’re pulling out your hair and you’re going, ‘what the f**k do they want me to say!?’”
