Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 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.
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.
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.
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.
