Wait, could Jensen Ackles play Batman for the CW’s Gotham Knights? It’s not that hard to believe

Although Jensen Ackles is best known for playing Dean Winchester in Supernatural, the man also put together an entire resume of media superheroes. In addition to currently starring in the role of Soldier Boy in The boys In Season 3, Ackles also voiced Jason Todd / Red Hood Batman: Under Little Red Riding Hood and Batman in last year’s two-part adaptation the long halloween. Now, Ackles has confirmed that he will return to voice DC Comics’ Hooded Crusader, and it’s entirely possible that he’ll be for DC’s next TV show. Gotham Knights.

At first, Jensen Ackles stopped Late night with Seth Meyers to talk about your time The boys and other aspects of his career, and when the host of the same name mentioned how the actor had previously worked on superhero dubs, Ackles said:

Now, working with just that statement, it could be assumed that Jensen Ackles is once again voicing Batman for one of DC’s live-action animated films, and that may be so. However, there is another vital piece of information to know. Ackles was a guest at SXSW earlier this year and on the section of the festival’s program detailing his career (via RBC), it has been said that “Jensen is also developing an untitled DC project with Greg Berlanti”. Since then Berlanti has been on all live DC TV shows on The CW Arrowand that includes him as an executive producer Gotham Knights. These pieces line up pretty well together, don’t they?

This casting would make a lot of sense. For one thing, Gotham KnightsThe premise involves Bruce Wayne’s adopted son, Turner Hayes, who collaborates with several famous young men from Batman mythology to uncover the mystery behind Bruce’s death. So even if we won’t see Bruce (assuming he’s really dead), we might be able to hear him throughout the show, and three and a half hours sounds good for Ackles to record all that dialogue. Moreover, Gotham Knights sees Misha Collins as Harvey Dent, and Collins starred alongside Ackles and Jared Padalecki Supernatural during most of the program run. if you have one Supernatural alum on the show, why not bring another one as well, especially someone who already has experience in Batman’s voice?

We’ll have to wait and see if Jensen Ackles’s name appears in the credits of any of the Gotham Knights‘opening episodes. Along with Misha Collins and Oscar Morgan as Turner Hayes, the main cast of the show includes Fallon Smythe as Harper Row, Tyler DiChiara as Cullen Rowe, Olivia Rose Keegan as Duela Dent, Navia Robinson as Carrie Kelley, Anna Lore as Stephanie Brown and Rahard. Adams as Brody, despite that Gotham Knights it was created by Natalie Abrams, James Stoteraux and Chad Fiveash, who worked on it batthis series is unrelated to the recently canceled Arrowverse series.
