DC Animated Movie Universe

Jensen Ackles has had voice roles in the DC Animated Movie Universe where he acted in several Batman and Justice League movies. He voices Batman/Bruce Wayne in the Tomorrowverse.

There’s such a great voice cast. Jensen Ackles is fantastic as Batman, there are so many strong performances. Can you speak to Ackles’ performance as Batman?

The day that I heard that he had agreed to do it, I was jumping for joy. Just as a fan of his, I knew what he was going to be able to bring to this. I knew that he was going to be able to do it. When you’re doing a big Batman movie based on a huge book, you’ve got to make sure you get the right guy. A guy who can conceivably play Batman at a very early point in his career. He’s still got, as we discussed, stuff to learn and it would be really difficult to believe that Batman had lots to learn if we had one of the guys who had been playing that role for so long and we really trust and know so well. We had to really come at this with an actor who knows Batman and knows them really well but could bring that element to the story, the element of being a little new at this, and Jensen tackled it absolutely head-on and to perfection as far as I’m concerned. I couldn’t be more happy actually. He was happy to take part, to play Batman, to play Bruce Wayne, and it brings me endless joy as a fan of his to know that he was able to do that.

Jensen is fantastic in this role. How was it like playing the foil to him and working with him? He’s such a big name coming up in Hollywood and you’re right there with him here in this film.

First of all, you use the exact word that I used earlier. The Joker always plays an antagonist to Batman. But for him to play the foil is a flip. So speaking to your earlier point, as far as there being a different iteration, that’s a perfect example of that. Here’s what I love about Jensen: He proved himself as an actor in the booth and it’s not like he can do just one thing. This is someone who is clearly versatile. You used that word earlier for Joker. And I would apply that same word to Jensen; that he is a versatile actor. Secondly, you get him outside of the booth and he’s just a dude. And he’s a great hang. Like he’s just a guy.
It’s so apparent that he has an affinity for this character. And that he approached his character, not as a job, but as an opportunity. And he really threw every bit of experience which he has, talent which he has, and passion, which he has an abundance of as well, towards this role. Jack Quaid was the same way. Jack was flipping out that he got to be in something like this. So everybody that was approaching this top, down, left to right was doing this as a passion project.
