While Ben Affleck's future in the DC Extended Universe as the caped crusader is still uncertain, there have been rumours swirling on who will replace him. Meanwhile, Gary Oldman, who is best known to superhero film fans as the man who brought Commissioner Gordon to life in Christopher Nolan's 'Dark Knight' trilogy, has given his opinion on the whole thing, revealing who he would like to take over as the Caped Crusader if Affleck really is on his way out.

Speaking in an interview given to a leading US entertainment website, Oldman said, 'I would like to see someone like Joaquin Phoenix play it. This is no disrespect to Ben Affleck. I think it really depends on who is at the wheel that lifts it.'
