Let's face it, Kevin Conroy IS Batman. When I think Batman, or am reading a Batman comic, it's his voice I hear, thankfully not Christian Bale's. But it got me thinking, who do you, the Comicvine community, consider to be the definitive voice of Spider-Man? When you read Spider-Man, whose voice do you hear?

I would say Josh Keaton from Spectacular Spider-Man and Paul Soles from the '60s cartoon rank among my favorites. I really loved the recent Shattered Dimensions game, because we got the best of 4 different worlds; literally!

What sayest you guys n' gals?

@InnerVenom123:
It must be the reason they gave him the job to voice Spider-Man again in Marvel vs Capcom 3. Oh and I heard he tried out for the role of Spidey in the upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. Keep your fingers crossed.

@The Hobgoblin: Psh. I'm probably just gonna watch the pilot of that crap. TSSM can't be replaced until it ends - and since it'll never end, f--k any new shows. The only way I'd watch it is if the first episode absolutely blew me away.

@InnerVenom123:
I became intrigued when I heard Joe Kelly and Paul Dini were involved, as well as potentially getting Keaton back. But I agree, this show will have HUGE shoes to fill in order to be better than TSSM. I probably will go in with huge expectations, be very let down and stop watching after the pilot episode.

You know which voice I liked? The one he had in that game Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects. That game was terrible, but I thought Spider-Man's voice was dead on.

@batmanary: Yep, good ol' Spider-Man Noir. ;)
@zombietag: CDB didn't do a bad job; he really gave the voice a more dramitc flare than the others, I think. Plus he was talented enough to play all the Spider-Men in the series finale, including Spider-Carnage and Ben Reilly.
And Toby was ok, but for me, he would have a hard time voicing the wall-crawler's jokes in my head if I was reading Spider-Man in a comic do so. He never seemed as confident during the rare moments when he did joke, for, when Peter is in his Spider-Man costume, he is very confident and such.
@Gambit1024: I'm going to have to go back and hear that voice again. Been ages since I touched that game.

I think the honor of worst Spider-Man voice may go to whoever voiced him in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. I hear it was bad in Web of Shadows, but I never bought that game.

Either Josh Keaton or Neil Patrick Harris. I liked him as Amazing Spider-Man in SD. Keaton is the best though.

Gotta agree with this statement about UA2. I hated that game. Liked WoS though. Not many people do, but I liked destroying everything in the Symbiote suit.

@Krakoa: Haha, gotta love Spider-Man and his Amazing voice actor. And I remember Ted from a vhs back in the day where he stopped Dr.Doom from mind controlling some high governemt officials like the President and such. That and the episode where he battled the Green Goblin and his future reading helmet!
@DarkSpidey21: Wow, excellent deal your dad got there! And back to your earlier comment, fro what I got to play, Neil PH did a good job on Spidey; I liked him better than his last go at him in the MTV show.

CDB definitely has one of the widest ranges of voices. In addition to his '90s Spider-Men voices, he was able to create yet another different voice for Shattered Dimensions. His best line(s) form the '90s show, though? "MARY JANE!!!!!" ;)

Not as bad as Spider-Man Unlimited, but a step above that. Speaking of which, I think Rino Romano did a good job voicing Spider-Man on SMU and the 1st 2 Playstation games. I LOVE those games.

A lot of people overlook Neil Patrick Harris, but I think he portrays a damn near perfect adult Peter. Josh Keaton is King if you want a younger, less experienced Pete though. Chris Barnes has a great handle on the darker aspects of Spidey's character (Black Suit stories, etc) but they just don't come around enough for him to be the best, imo.

Some of the best games. I still have Rise of Electro. SMU was pretty bad. Not gonna lie, I actually watch it, even to this day. Still bad though.

i couldnt stand NPH's Spidey though. Rino was pretty good though same with Dan

Yes, he was.

I barely recognize his voice here in this video. And you say he was in The Little Mermaid? Well, gotta hunt that down someday, then.

CDB will always be the Spider-Man for me. Josh Keaton's kiddish voice? Get outta here. Peter have to get married someday, you know? And get a miscarriage. And sell his marriage. And go back in time or something. Hm.

"It's the Spider-Man justice system! Guilty until proven innocent."
"You want trial and separation already? I understand but... I'm hurt."
"(to Kraven) Don't tell me, you're a Leo, right?"
"Congratulations, you can count! And they say the school system's failing."
"You don't find the Fantastic Four in the sewer. Or The Avengers. Or The Defenders. Well, maybe The Hulk."

And this is the one quote that makes him a definite Spidey for me:
"Yeah, okay, bye bye. Yeah, what a beautiful, happy ending. I feel like I'm trapped in a Daniel Steele novel. Correct me if I'm wrong but, isn't the hero suppose to be get the girl? Never again do I get in the middle of a lover's spat. Stick a fork in me. I'm done."

For me Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions just provided who I believe should voice the wall-crawler. Josh Keaton will be the definative Spider-Man/Peter Parker for me. Dan Galverzan will always be Spider-Man 2099 and Christopher Daniel Barnes will be Spider-Man Noir. Neil Patrick Harris... well he sounds like a more mature version of Josh Keaton so maybe MC2 Peter Parker.

Christopher Barnes' original run in the SMAS was ok, but sounded a little too, for lack of a better word, "Heroic" for Spidey, like he was trying to be Superman instead of Spider-Man. That problem was fixed when he did the darker Spidey Noir. His "darker and edgier" take eliminated my one and only problem with his Spidey. Dan Galverzan, just sounds awsome and what's more awsome then a cyber punk Spider-Man who is the "Chosen One"?

Like I said, Josh and Neil sound very similar but, Josh will always be my difinative Spidey (High School Stan Lee/Ditko/Romita Sr./Bendis-Adult JMS/Peter David/Romita Jr.-Whenever Spidey retires though by the middle part of the Adult bit its more like Josh Keaton doing a Neil Harris impersination). Keaton just really sticks the loud, fast "I'll mock you until you burst a blood vein" joker Spidey, but really sticks the emotional quiet "My life may suck but this is my responsibility" deep Spidey. Neil sounds like a much more mature version of Keaton's voice catching the deep Spidey but being closer to the deadpan snarker Spidey then the fast pace joker, the only reason Keaton really beats Harris here. As such I find it appropriate that he voices Peter Parker from Spider-Girl (which is canon where as I'm conserned).

I also like the Tobey Spidey, the Rino Spidey and the WoS Spidey. The only one I don't really like is the MUA2 one. However the Shattered Dimensions Spideys will be my difinative Main Spidey (Keaton), MC2 Spidey (Harris), 2099 (Galverzan) and Noir (Barnes).

Please no one take offence by this...

Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider as a teenager, granting him spider-like powers. After the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter learned that "with great power, comes great responsibility." Swearing to always protect the innocent from harm, Peter Parker became Spider-Man.
