Bob Hastings, who voiced Commissioner Gordon on Batman: The Animated Series, as well as Clark Kent and Superboy in The Superman/Batman Hour and Superboy in the 1960's, has passed away. According to The Burbank Leader, Hastings died of pancreatic cancer, which he had been battling for the last 15 years. 

People like Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill get a lot of credit for voicing Batman and the Joker, respectively, but Hastings put his own iconic stamp on the character of Commissioner Gordon, which undoubtedly influenced the live action versions we've seen in various Batman films. 

Hastings lent his voice to a variety of voicework for decades. His credits include Batman: The Mystery of the Batwoman, Batman: The Rise of Sin Tzu videogame, Static Shock, Gotham Girls, Jak and Daxter, The New Batman Adventures, Superman, Batman: The Animated Series, Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Challenge of the SuperFriends, The Munsters, McHale's Navy, and The Love Boat.

Truth. Pancreatic cancer will frick you up quick. 90+% of pancreatic cancer patients die w/n 5 years. 70+% die w/n the first year. If its metastatic, average is 6 months.

This dude fought like a beast.

Seriously, I thought my grandfather was a badass for fighting lung cancer for 3 years, but 15 years of battling cancer? Holy shite. I still think my grandpa is a badass, but battling cancer for 1/6 of your life? I'd almost certainly give up after that long of a fight.
