THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD Fan Art Transforms THE BOYS Star Jensen Ackles Into The DCU's New Batman

Supernatural alum Jensen Ackles remains a fan-favourite choice to play The Brave and the Bold's Batman, and some incredible new artwork imagines what the actor would look like in the Dark Knight's Batsuit.

Original plans called for The Flash to end with Michael Keaton's Batman a permanent part of the DCEU. He'd have gone on to appear in Batgirl and Batman Beyond, likely meeting Ben Affleck's Caped Crusader in Crisis on Infinite Earths

Those ideas have all been scrapped since DC Studios was formed, with the plan now to introduce a new Batman in Andy Muschietti's The Brave and the Bold. That story will revolve around Bruce Wayne training his son, Damian, as Robin and adapts elements from Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's Batman and Robin

Following reports Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey and The Flash scribe Christina Hodson won't be penning the screenplay (which was initially thought to be the case), the movie is presumably without a writer...and no work can take place during the WGA strike, regardless!

That means casting news is a long way off, something DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn has already confirmed to be the case.

The Boys and Supernatural star Jensen Ackles remains a fan-favourite choice to play the DCU's Caped Crusader, and he's no stranger to the role after lending his voice to the hero in multiple DC animated projects. 

He also suited up as the Dark Knight for Halloween a number of years ago, proving this is a character Ackles is passionate about potentially bringing to the screen.

Whether Gunn would give him a shot at the role remains to be seen. However, the decision to cast relative unknown David Corenswet as the DCU's Superman suggests the filmmaker isn't necessarily looking to fill this relaunched shared world with A-List stars. Ackles, however, has put himself on the map with The Boys.

This (AI-produced) fan art imagines what the actor would look like as Batman in The Brave and the Bold, and you can take a closer look below.

Let's see if Superman Legacy performs well enough to warrant his franchise before we get too invested in the idea of a new Batman.

I wouldn't hate on it if he got the part and I'm a huge Batman fan I think he could pull it off.

@Origame - That was animated though right?Could you see him pulling off a live action trilogy?
Origame
Origame - 7/30/2023, 9:30 AM
@pitbull76 - it was animated. But he's also an accomplished live action actor. So I really don't see why he couldn't.

@Origame - Yea I have seen most of the live action work he has done acting wise not so much of his voice work in the animated movies.A little off topic but Marvel obviously has the live action going better then DC but DC animated movies blows marvel animated projects out of the water.

Oh and no wonder why it looks crap. It's [frick]ing AI generated.

@BritishMonkey - it’s 1,000 times better than the Batfleck suit in the Flash. I actually like this suit!

@JonAwesome - Go see an optician.

JonAwesome - 7/30/2023, 8:58 AM
@BritishMonkey - because your opinion is the only one that matters?
BritishMonkey
BritishMonkey - 7/30/2023, 9:04 AM
@JonAwesome - No, because you must be deluded and naive to think anything AI looks remotely good.

@BritishMonkey - sounds like you’re just against AI! To each their own but I think having such a narrow view of “everything AI created is subpar” is limiting.
BritishMonkey
BritishMonkey - 7/30/2023, 10:35 AM
@JonAwesome - AI cannot create and it's foolish how people are using it to turn a quick profit for horrid looking images or cut corners for content.
It's not so narrowminded a view when I've seen plenty enough examples from all sides to show that AI is usage is not just really poort quality but dangerous.
