Tom Hardy seems to have said that as far as Batman is concerned, he's far more behind Christian Bale than Ben Affleck.
Hardy played alongside Bale in The Dark Knight Rises, and now the 36-year-old has been asked to choose his favourite caped crusader out of his former co-star and the newly-unveiled Affleck, who will take on the challenge in the Batman vs Superman sequel to Man Of Steel.
"I've already worked with Batman," he told HollywoodLife. "Christian was my Batman, I'm very loyal."

Next up he'll be playing Elton John in biopic Rocketman, and he told the site that he's not overly intimidated by the challenge - despite his lack of powerhouse singing ability.
"I can hold a tune like Sasquatch," he quipped, adding: "It's [not] ridiculous like Superman, I won't be flying."
In addition to Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman, Man of Steel 2 has also acquired Ray Fisher to play Cyborg.
The star is a big deal on the US theatre circuit but has had small-screen roles as the likes of Orange Is The New Black and The Big C. His role will reportedly become more prominent in future Justice League Universe films, according to Variety.
Also in the cast are Jesse Eisenberg, Gal Godot and Amy Adams, with the film's official title yet to be revealed.
