Jensen Ackles Wants to Play Batman in the DCU?
We are about to meet new iterations of legendary heroes, including the Dark Knight in The Brave and the Bold, as James Gunn and Peter Safran’s new DC Universe takes shape.

There have been rumors that the 45-year-old actor is up for the role of Batman in The Bold and the Brave. He addressed the rumors while giving a speech at the Jus In Bello Convention in Italy.
“I mean, could I do it? Sure. Would I want to do it? Yes.”
Ackles further added that he has not spoken to anyone at DC Studios about taking on the role of Batman in Gunn and Safran’s DC Universe.
“Would I entertain the idea of playing my favorite superhero of all time? Nah, I’m good. It seems like a lot of work, you know. You gotta put in a bat suit and be a superhero,” Ackles joked. “I would love it. Sign me up.”
He does seem receptive to the idea, though. The actor might make a fantastic choice for the part given his prior experience with the superhero genre.
Meanwhile, the movie Superman: Legacy will hit theaters on July 11, 2025.
