Why Jensen Ackles Would Be Perfect As Batman In The DC Universe
As there have been a lot ofBatman fan-casting ideas for the DC Universe, Ackles has been one of the most favored ones. Ackles himself is also a major Batman fan, as he has expressed at numerous conventions and in interviews that he would love to play the DC icon in live-action. If Ackles were to get tapped to play the Caped Crusader, it would be one of the DC Universe’s best casting choices of all time.
Ackles has made a big name for himself over the last two decades, from his tremendous lead role onSupernaturalas Dean Winchester. However, Ackles is also no stranger to superhero properties, as he played Soldier Boy inThe Boys, proving himself to be an incredible action star. The world has also already gotten a taste of Ackles as the Dark Knight, as he voiced Batman in DC’s animated Tomorrowverse, with his run set to come to an end withJustice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Threelater this year.
SinceThe Brave and The Boldscript is seemingly still being worked on, it will likely be quite some time before they start casting Batman. Whether or not Ackles will end up being the one to wear the cape and cowl inGunn’s DC Universeremains to be seen. When the time comes for DC Studios to start its casting search for Batman in theDC Universe, Ackles will hopefully be someone they consider for the franchise.
