Due to the tumultuous environment in his home, Conroy lived with a family friend during his last year of high school. Conroy's father was an alcoholic and once attempted suicide while Conroy was in high school.{{Cite web |last=Lee |first=Eric |date=June 13, 2022 |title="Finding Batman" By Kevin Conroy Is A Story For The Ages |url=https://darkknightnews.com/2022/06/13/kevin-conroys-finding-batman-is-a-story-for-the-ages/ |access-date=July 23, 2023 |website=Dark Knight News |language=en-US}} In adulthood, Conroy was estranged from his father for many years but they reconciled shortly before his death.

Conroy moved to New York City in 1973 when he earned a full scholarship to attend the Juilliard School's drama division, studying under actor/director John Houseman. While there, he roomed with Robin Williams, who was in the same group as both Conroy and Kelsey Grammer.{{cite web |url=http://panelsonpages.com/?p=15025 |title=PoP!

In 1980, after playing the role of Jerry Grove in the New York City-based daytime soap opera Another World, Conroy moved out to California to pursue further work in television. Conroy became associated with the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego, California, where he performed in productions of Hamlet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. From 1980 to 1985, he acted in a variety of contemporary and classic theatre pieces, including the Broadway productions of Edward Albee's adaptation of Lolita and Eastern Standard. He told The New York Times that, as a gay man living in New York City in the time of the AIDS epidemic, he "went to so many funerals that [he] felt such a sense of obligation" to portray the character of a TV producer secretly living with AIDS in Eastern Standard.

Conroy returned to television in the 1985 TV film Covenant and had a role on another daytime soap drama, Search for Tomorrow. Conroy played gay lawyer Bart Fallmont on Dynasty from 1985 to 1986.{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CeqG46cYjuMC&q=+kevin+conroy+dynasty&pg=PA273 |title=The Prime Time Closet: A History of Gays and Lesbians on TV |first=Stephen |last=Tropiano |date=May 10, 2002 |publisher=Hal Leonard Corporation |via=Google Books |page=273 |isbn=1-55783-557-8 |location=Milwaukee, WI |access-date=May 10, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191002212925/https://books.google.com/books?id=CeqG46cYjuMC&pg=PA273&lpg=PA273&dq=kevin+conroy+dynasty&source=bl&ots=kyUaBJOA84&sig=ACfU3U2YQD2c5y92kugbsNWQYgrK11uq1g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjNouSD-I_iAhUNv54KHZr0DAE4FBDoATAJegQICRAB#v=onepage&q=+kevin+conroy+dynasty&f=false |archive-date=October 2, 2019 |url-status=live}} He was a series regular on Ohara in 1987, and as the company commander on Tour of Duty from 1987 to 1988, before starring in a series of television films. Though initially cast as one of the show's main characters, his role on the show was reduced while it filmed in Hawaii and he ended up spending much of his time making portraits of tourists on the Honolulu boardwalk. Conroy also guest starred on shows such as Cheers, Search for Tomorrow, Matlock and Murphy Brown.

As a voice actor, Conroy is known for his starring role in Batman: The Animated Series (1992–1995).{{cite web |title=A History of Batman on TV |first=Scott |last=Collura |display-authors=etal |website=IGN |url=http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/891/891807p7.html |access-date=August 15, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111123141107/http://uk.tv.ign.com/articles/891/891807p7.html |archive-date=November 23, 2011}}{{cite web |url=http://comics.ign.com/articles/758/758931p3.html |title=The Greatest Comic Book Cartoons Of All Time |last=George |first=Richard |date=January 26, 2007 |website=IGN |access-date=May 31, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120529093939/http://comics.ign.com/articles/758/758931p3.html |archive-date=May 29, 2012 |url-status=live }} He was notably the first voice actor to alter his voice tone between portraying Batman and Bruce Wayne, which Michael Keaton had previously done in Tim Burton's live-action Batman films. However, Conroy based his dual-voice performance on Leslie Howard in the 1934 film The Scarlet Pimpernel.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/batman-animated-series-hirings-firings-last-minute-changes-1035120|title='Batman' at 25: Hirings, Firings and Other Last-Minute Changes Behind the Animated Classic|magazine=The Hollywood Reporter|date=September 5, 2017|access-date=July 17, 2018|author1=Burton, Byron|author2=Couch, Aaron}} He continued to voice Batman in various animated spin-off productions, which collectively took place in what is known as the DC Animated Universe (DCAU). These spin-offs include the TV shows The New Batman Adventures (1997–1999), Batman Beyond (1999–2001, in which he portrays an elderly Bruce Wayne retired from crimefighting), Justice League (2001–2004), and Justice League Unlimited (2004–2006), as well as the theatrical film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993),{{cite web |url=http://ca.ign.com/articles/2010/06/25/top-25-animated-movies-of-all-time |title=Top 25 Animated Movies of All-Time |first=Phil |last=Pirrello |display-authors=etal |date=June 24, 2010 |website=IGN |access-date=October 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140905014716/http://ca.ign.com/articles/2010/06/25/top-25-animated-movies-of-all-time |archive-date=September 5, 2014 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/batman_mask_of_the_phantasm/ |title=Batman: Mask of the Phantasm |website=Rotten Tomatoes |publisher=Flixster |access-date=January 21, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080130003635/http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/batman_mask_of_the_phantasm/ |archive-date=January 30, 2008 |url-status=live}} and the direct-to-video films Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero (1998), Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000), and Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003). He also voiced the DCAU Batman for guest appearances in Superman: The Animated Series, Static Shock and The Zeta Project.

After the September 11, 2001, attacks in New York City, Conroy participated in relief efforts by volunteering to cook for people. During an audio commentary on Batman: Gotham Knight, Conroy expressed his surprise at the reaction of the emergency service workers to his presence. At the behest of another cook, Conroy called out from the kitchen to the dining area in his "Batman voice", reciting the iconic line, "I am vengeance! I am the night! I am Batman!" (from the BTAS episode "Nothing to Fear"{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDppQN0s4DQ |title=I am Vengeance. I am the Night.

This was greeted by cheers and applause from emergency service personnel, many of whom had been fans of Batman: The Animated Series during its airing in the 1990s. Conroy confessed to being humbled and deeply flattered by the reaction.{{cite AV media|title=Batman: Gotham Knight audio commentary|year=2008}}

Conroy also voiced Batman for multiple video games, including the Batman: Arkham series. Following the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009) and Batman: Arkham City (2011), he stated at the 2013 Dallas Comic Con that he had been working on "the next Arkham", leading to rampant speculation that he would reprise his role in Batman: Arkham Origins. In June 2013, however, it was confirmed that Conroy would not be involved in Arkham Origins (Batman was instead voiced by Roger Craig Smith in that game), meaning Conroy may had been referring to a yet-unannounced game from the Arkham series.{{cite web |first=Sinan |last=Kubba |url=http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/11/batman-arkham-origins-doesnt-feature-kevin-conroy-at-all/ |title=Batman: Arkham Origins doesn't feature Kevin Conroy after all |date=June 11, 2013 |website=Joystiq |access-date=June 11, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130614222159/http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/11/batman-arkham-origins-doesnt-feature-kevin-conroy-at-all/ |archive-date=June 14, 2013}} He would ultimately reprise the role for the fourth game in the series, titled Batman: Arkham Knight (2015).{{cite web |url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/04/arkham-knight-has-no-multiplayer-kevin-conroy-returns-as-batman |title=Arkham Knight Has No Multiplayer, Kevin Conroy Returns as Batman |last=Dyer |first=Mitch |website=IGN |date=March 4, 2014 |access-date=March 4, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140304232909/http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/03/04/arkham-knight-has-no-multiplayer-kevin-conroy-returns-as-batman |archive-date=March 4, 2014 }} The 2024 sequel to Arkham Knight, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, marked his final video game performance as Batman.
