Summary
- Jensen Ackles is a favored choice for the role of Batman in Batman: The Brave and The Bold, and fan art imagines him as the iconic character.

Jensen Ackles gets imagined as Bruce Wayne, a.k.a. the Caped Crusader in new Batman: The Brave and The Bold, highlighting why he needs to join the DC Universe. With James Gunn and Peter Safran running the new DC Universe, Batman is one of the many heroes who is getting re-imagined for the big screen. One of the major projects that is in the works for Chapter 1, “Gods and Monsters,” is Batman: The Brave and The Bold, although no release date has been set yet.
Ever since the movie’s announcement earlier this year, Ackles has continued to be a favored casting for Batman: The Brave and The Bold, with the actor having even talked about wanting to explore the opportunity. In a new video showcasing the fan art, Stryder HD imagines what the Supernatural star would look like as the infamous Gotham City millionaire, as well as Batman.
Throughout the video, Ackles is shown what he would look like with his own Wayne Mansion in Batman: The Brave and The Bold. In addition to that, Ackles’ Batman is depicted wearing alternative versions of the Batsuit, showing that either design would work for him in a prospective role in the upcoming DC Universe.
What We Know About Batman: The Brave And The Bold
Batman: The Brave and The Bold will be pulling inspiration from Grant Morrison’s comic run as the DC Universe will be introducing Damian Wayne, a.k.a. Robin. In this story, Bruce discovers that he has a biological son while taking Damian under his wing to become the next Robin. According to Gunn and Safran, there will potentially be other members of the Bat-Family, although no specific ones have been confirmed yet.
The Flash movie director Andy Muschietti has officially been set to direct Batman: The Brave and The Bold, but there is no script in place. Due to the Writers Guild of America, as well as the SAG-AFTRA strikes, no screenplay will be able to happen deals are struck with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers. With Batman: The Brave and The Bold details being as limited as they are right now, Gunn has even stressed that they are “miles and miles away” from having an actor tapped as the Dark Knight.
If Ackles were to get cast as Batman, it would be a major deal for the DC Universe, as it would get another big established actor into the franchise. Whether or not Gunn and Safran are paying attention to his fan casting remains to be seen, but they are most likely aware of it to some degree. Hopefully, once the strikes are over, more updates about Batman: The Brave and The Bold will begin to emerge sooner rather than later.
