David Corenswet has recently been revealed as the new Superman in the upcoming DC Universe movie directed by James Gunn. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the new Batman to join Corenswet in the movie, leading to speculations and debates about who will take on the role alongside him.
While Corenswet’s Superman received mixed reactions from fans, with some showing love for the new Man of Steel while others doubt if he can match up to Henry Cavill’s legacy, one fan art piece has already imagined Corenswet’s Superman alongside Jensen Ackles as Batman. Ackles, known for his roles in The Boys and Supernatural, has a strong fan following who would love to see him take on the role of the Dark Knight.
Despite the anticipation for the new Batman, James Gunn has indicated that the casting news for the role will not be revealed anytime soon. The focus is currently on the production of Superman, with Gunn emphasizing that the DC Universe’s next Batman will be announced when the time is right.
The first Superman movie in Warner Bros.’ rebooted DC Universe is set to introduce a new version of the Man of Steel after Henry Cavill’s departure from the role. With the Dark Knight not featuring in the first film, Corenswet has the opportunity to shine without being in the shadow of Batman. However, this also means that there will be ongoing speculation about who will play the next Batman.
Fans have shared diverse opinions about Corenswet’s casting as Superman, with some praising the reveal while others expressing doubts. When the first footage of the movie is released, it may sway the opinions of some fans. However, the debate over who should play the new Batman will likely continue until an official announcement is made.
Names like Jensen Ackles, Alan Ritchson, and Jake Gyllenhaal have been circulating online as potential candidates for the role of Batman. The decision of who will become Gotham’s next protector is not an easy one, and fans will be eager to see who James Gunn and Peter Safran ultimately choose for the iconic role.
Superman is scheduled for release in cinemas on July 11, 2025.
