Let's file this one strictly in the rumour cabinet for now but there are rumblings that Will Smith could be appearing in the next standalone Batman movie. 

This would be the first movie in the proposed trilogy of Batman movies starring Ben Affleck. 

Smith of course will already be established in the DC Universe by the time the cameras roll on this one as he's set to star in next year's Suicide Squad as villain Deadshot.

Reportedly, Smith signed a multi-picture deal with Warner Bros. meaning that he can move freely between Suicide Squad and other DC Universe properties. 

Again this is very much a rumour for now but what do you think? Is Ben Affleck's Batman taking on Will Smith's Deadshot something you'd be excited to see? 

Let us know in the comments.
