A new fan trailer for Batman: The Brave and The Bold has sparked excitement among DC fans, suggesting Jensen Ackles as the ideal candidate to portray the Dark Knight in James Gunn's DC Universe. As DC Studios gears up to commence shooting Gunn's Superman: Legacy movie in March, the anticipation for the new DC Universe continues to build.
While details about The Brave and The Bold storyline remain undisclosed, the buzz surrounding Ackles as a potential Batman in live-action is gaining momentum. To showcase Ackles' suitability for the role, KH Studio has released a Batman: The Brave and The Bold fan trailer, offering a glimpse of what he could bring to the iconic character.
The fan trailer cleverly integrates footage from various TV shows and movies, including The Batman and Titans, to present different interpretations of the Caped Crusader. Ackles' previous roles as Soldier Boy in The Boys and on Supernatural are also briefly featured, highlighting his versatility as an actor.
If Ackles were to be cast as Batman in Gunn's DC Universe, it would mark a significant win for the franchise. Ackles already has ties to the Batman universe, having voiced Jason Todd, a.k.a. Red Hood, in Batman: Under The Red Hood, and portrayed Batman in animated projects within the Tomorrowverse.
Furthermore, selecting Ackles for Batman: The Brave and The Bold would offer Warner Bros. a chance to rectify a missed opportunity. Previous attempts to cast Ackles as Batman for the Gotham Knights TV show on The CW fell through due to scheduling conflicts, preventing him from embodying the role in live-action.
With The Flash movie director Andy Muschietti set to helm Batman: The Brave and The Bold, Ackles' passion for the character and his expressed interest in playing Batman make him a compelling candidate for the role. While casting decisions for The Brave and The Bold are still in the early stages, Ackles' potential involvement remains a topic of interest among fans eagerly awaiting updates on the project.
As DC Studios continues to develop The Brave and The Bold, the possibility of Ackles donning the cape and cowl as Batman in the DC Universe appears promising. Stay tuned for further developments on this exciting casting speculation.
