What The Jensen Ackles Batman Art Means For The DCU
While time will tell whenThe Brave and The Boldmoviewill actually happen,there is no denying that Batman will be one of the most sought-after roles in the DCU, as there are bound to be many actors trying to get a shot at suiting up as the DC icon. In fact, multiple actors have expressed their interest in joining the DCU franchise as Batman, with Ackles being one of them. That is why theSupernaturalstar continues to emerge through numerous fan art and concept trailers as the Caped Crusader.
Even though there is no telling whenthe Batman casting process for the DCUis actually going to start, as more artwork pieces get made for Ackles as the Dark Knight,it’s clear that he has the support of many fans to see him join the franchise. With Ackles also being a Batman fan himself, as well as having voiced the Gotham City crime-fighter in the animated Tomorrowverse, it’s evident that a lot of people are ready to see him get a shot at the role in live-action.

Our Take On The Jensen Ackles Batman Art
The DCU artwork continues to add to the case that Ackles would be an incredible choice for Batman, which begs the question of whether DC Studios is paying attention to how popular this casting choice is with fans. Having an established star like Ackles join the DCU timeline as Batman would be one of the biggest casting choices for DC Studios if they went through with it. Hopefully, whenever DC Studios does start its casting search for Batman in theDCU, Ackles will at least have the chance to be considered.
The Brave and the Bold
The Brave and the Bold will introduce audiences to a new Batman in the DC Universe, focusing on the unique dynamic between the Dark Knight and his son, Damian Wayne, who takes on the mantle of Robin. This film marks yet another reboot for the iconic vigilante superhero.
