There seems to be a growing since of agreement on the web that Jensen Ackles would make a great choice for the next Batman. I for one agree. Anyone that's watched Supernatural would know that Dean Winchester is Bruce Wayne without the money. Although he does have the car :) Seriously though Jensen has proven across 8 seasons of Supernatural that he has the the Acting chops, the physicality, and the looks to play the Dark Knight. Specifically I think Jensen will nail the character of Batman in a Superman/Batman mash-up where Batman will need to be completely un-intimidated by Superman. Jensen will easily pull of the "I don't care how powerful you are" attitude. Also, this is just my belief, but I think Jensen and Henry will have great onscreen chemistry.

I'm not the only one thinking this either. The LA times put out a list and more importantly a poll in which Jensen dominated. Are there other actors that can play Batman? Yes, of course, but none with all the pluses Jensen brings to the table.

What do you guys think?

I think Ackles would make a great Bruce Wayne, he'd just have to bulk up for Batman. And I agree he'd have good chemistry with Cavill. Still hoping for an unknown though.

If anything he'd be a good Hal Jordan no way is he right for Batman

I'm with Housesnow on this. Why not add one of the kids from The witches of Waverly place or Zack and cody? they both have square jaws and a pulse. His name is BatMAN not pretty boy McGilicuty!

You guys are calling Jensen Ackles a pretty boy but lemme tell you, he and Jared Padalecki were mugged once and fought back, those muggers were pretty hurt.

Ackles is Hasslehoff. Great for campy TV, but that's all.

I think Jensen Ackles would make both a great Batman and Bruce Wayne. He's proven he can do gravitas, even in the comic book character setting, he was great as the voice of Red Hood in the movie "Batman: Under the Red Hood."

I like the dude but he would be a better Hal Jordan or Wally west.

Jensen Ackles would be a great choice. Those who don't think he has the acting chops, are very misguided. He can play the brooding, tortured soul brilliantly! A bit of time in the gym, and physically he's also there.

I would be cool with this. He looks dead on like Bruce Wayne should.

Ever since I've seen people talk about Ackles as the new Batman, I can't picture anyone else. He has the chops for both Batman and Bruce Wayne.
