Sorry Arrowverse fans but it looks like Ackles was just visiting the set as a fan. Arrow star Stephen Amell made a Twitter post to clarify that Ackles wasn’t visiting the set be the caped crusader, which fans can check out below.
Let me squash this rumor right now. @JensenAckles was on set tonight because he’s Grant Gustin’s #2 fan (I’m #1) and not because he’s playing The Batman.

Though he isn’t currently slated to be the Arrowverse’s Batman, many fans may forget that he was one of the frontrunner’s to play the titular Marvel Cinematic Universe hero in 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger. Fans have also named him as a great choice for other heroes such as Green Lantern and Nightwing but nothing has come to fruition just yet. Hopefully, fans will be able to see Ackles don Batman’s iconic cape and cowl at some point but for now, it seems that it will have to remain as awesome online art and daydreams.
