While many people would love to see Jensen Ackles as the DCEU’s Jason Todd/Red Hood, especially after he voiced the character in the animated feature Batman: Under the Red Hood, the chances are higher that he’ll appear in the Arrowverse in some capacity. The reason for this is simply because of the Supernatural connection. If there’s one thing we’ve learned about The CW, it’s that they love recycling actors across their various programming. In case you forgot, Ackles appeared in Smallville as Lana Lang’s love interest Jason Teague as well.

Still young enough at the age of 39, the actor could easily pass as Bruce Wayne. Undoubtedly, he’s one of the beautiful people on the network’s shows and he’d certainly bring the dashing look to the playboy-turned-vigilante. He’s also still in good shape and could complement the other heroes and heroines in the universe, who are ripped AF.

Do keep in mind that Supernatural is still going strong though, so it’s doubtful that it’ll be canceled any time soon. Nonetheless, if the Arrowverse’s Batman is only a cameo or for limited appearances, it’s possible that Ackles could step up to the plate and still fulfill his other obligations. Out of all our listed choices, we see this as the most likely to happen.
