Armageddon Melbourne (October 2011)

Armageddon is a pop culture expo that draws thousands of people every year with its geek-centric trade hall, celebrities (primarily voice and TV actors) and opportunities for costuming. Here are some of the photos we took throughout the Saturday at Melbourne Armageddon.

We went and saw Batman.

Or rather, Kevin Conroy, voice actor in Batman: The Animated series, the Batman Arkham games and numerous other Batman animated shows and movies.


Batman was the highlight of the show. Kevin was cool and funny and has a talent for giving the most ordinary question from the audience an interesting answer. The best question by far though prompted Kevin to tell his best story: about how Batman cooked for rescue workers in the wake of September 11. There is this video

If you want to hear it from the man himself there's this video here - but really it was his closing comment that brought something home: "What we do is not insignificant."
