Antony Starr Backs Jensen Ackles as Batman

0:00On April 8th, Anthony Starr from The Boys is throwing his full weight behind co-star Jensen Ackles as the next Batman in the DC Universe. DC's new movie slate under James Gunn and Peter Safran has everyone buzzing, especially for this fresh take on the Captain Crusader. The upcoming film, reportedly called The Brave and The Bold, will pair Batman with his son Damien Wayne, and he's also slated for The Justice League. Team Up Fans have been fan-casting heavy hitters like Jonathan Bailey, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Alan Richardson, but Ackles tops the list by far. In a recent movie web interview, Starr heard the pitch for Ackles and straight up agreed, saying he'd crush it as the Dark Knight. Ackles already has solid-cred-voicing Batman and animated hits, like the two-part long Halloween from 2021 and Justice League, Crisis On, Infinite Earths last year. He's even said in past chats he'd love to bring the character to live action. James Gunn, DC's co-CEO, laid out his vision clear.
