Fans are campaigning for actor Jensen Ackles to play the role of Batman in the upcoming DC Universe films, especially after James Gunn confirmed that neither Ben Affleck nor Robert Pattinson will be taking on the role. Ackles has already voiced Bruce Wayne/Batman in animated projects such as Batman: The Long Halloween and Batman: Under the Red Hood, and has expressed his desire to play the live-action role. With the fan support and his experience with the character, he is a strong contender to take on the mantle of the Caped Crusader.
