Kevin Conroy, celebrated for his iconic portrayal of Bruce Wayne and Batman across numerous animated projects, passed away in November 2022 at the age of 66.

Adi Shankar, known for his work on films like Dredd, Killing Them Softly, and The Voices, will serve as the showrunner for Devil May Cry. Shankar's involvement adds another layer of anticipation, given his track record with genre projects. He's also set to executive produce an adaptation of Assassin’s Creed, though its release remains uncertain.

The series is being brought to life by Studio Mir, the acclaimed South Korean studio behind hits like The Legend of Korra and X-Men ‘97. With such a powerhouse team, expectations are high for this adaptation.
