About this mod
Replaces one of the large portraits of Thomas and Martha Wayne in Bruce's Wayne Tower office on Miagani Island with a picture of Kevin Conroy, edited by hand to resemble a painting. You can choose one of four portraits to hang. Absolutely no AI was used in the creation/editing of the images.
I left a personal anecdote about Kevin below.

In honor of the man who gave thirty years and his heart and soul to the character we all love, I present to you four portraits of Kevin Conroy which may be hung in Miagani Island's Wayne Tower office—right across from the painting of the Wayne family.

The texture replaced is a painting of Thomas and Martha Wayne which does not appear in the background of cutscenes like the Wayne family portrait adjacent to it. All four portraits have been edited by hand to resemble paintings without losing too much detail, allowing them to fit the aesthetic of the office; please note that absolutely no AI tools were used to create or edit any of these images.

A personal anecdote about Kevin Conroy I wanted to add to this mod post, given that it's an homage...
I had the pleasure of meeting Kevin years ago when I was young and got to speak with him for about ten minutes one-on-one. One of the things we briefly discussed was his voice acting for the Arkham games; I asked him what it was like to do the voiceover work. He smirked, leaning in just a little, then quietly, humorously admitted that doing voiceover for video games was a "pain in the ass." After chuckling about it for a moment, he further explained that it often involved very long days sitting alone in the same room, repeating the same lines often a few hundred times over, all the while trying to keep the character alive throughout the lengthy recording sessions. I could tell by his tone that he was merely answering my question rather than complaining. He said afterwards that everything he did with Batman felt worth it to him, was more than just a job or another role to him, because of the fans. Kevin knew how much the character meant to people, how deeply Batman affected many growing up or even after because they could relate to the character's pain in their own ways.
As we all came to learn in recent years, it turned out of course that Kevin's portrayal of Batman was more than just a talented performance. He channeled his own pain from a traumatic childhood and from a lifetime of hiding his true self from a largely homophobic world into the powerful voice we became so familiar with. He captured the essence of the character and became the definitive Batman to many because he understood very well what his pain felt like, having worn his own mask for so long. Other great actors across the years have put forth their own amazing performances as Batman, but Kevin Conroy's Batman was—on some level—more than a performance. Without even meaning to at first, he turned his anguish into a vessel of hope, safety, assertiveness, and willpower that touched countless lives in different ways. Speaking for myself, I know that his voice in BTAS brought me a feeling of comfort and security when I was little, which helped me survive my own traumatic childhood. Others have had their own meaningful relationship and experiences with the character throughout their lives, and it's for this reason that Kevin was so beloved to so many. He truly gave himself to the role, and ultimately, to his fans.
Thank you, Kevin. You are sorely missed.
To quote Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, "It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile; it's the other way around."
I highly, highly encourage people to check out Kevin's "Finding Batman" comic in which he explains the real emotions and history behind his Batman voice. You can find it online for free; it was originally part of the DC Pride 2022 anthology.
