Why Jensen Ackles' DCU Batman Casting Is Unlikely
Despite being the fan favorite name at the moment to encounter Batman inThe Brave and the Bold , Ackles getting cast as the DC Universe ’s Bruce Wayne is unbelievable . The most of import factor against his cast is the fact that the actor might be too erstwhile to take on the version of Bruce that Gunn has in mind for the DCU . Previously , Gunn order that the DCU Batman might be a couple of years Old than Superman .
If that holds lawful , then Ackles , at 45 , would be out of the range to fit Gunn ’s verbal description , asSuperman : Legacystar David Corenswet is 30 . Another gene against the role player might be that DC will look for a relatively raw name like Gunn did with Corenswet as Superman for Batman . Ackles has become celebrated worldwide for playing Dean Winchester over 15 seasons ofSupernatural , with the actor recently playing a superhero — albeit not a sound guy — in the hit seriesThe Boys , which only raised his popularity .
Besides , Ackles already play Batman . The actor lends his voice to the Dark Knight in DC ’s animated Tomorrowverse continuity . That role could lead to one of two paths , with Ackles ' experience sound Batman either being good for the DC Universe — which will have actors play their characters across different mediums — or being uncollectible , as that would add some unneeded baggage to the DCU . AsThe Brave and the Boldcurrently has no script settle , any possible decision on the new Batman actor , be it Ackles or somebody else , should be at least a class away .
