Warning: The Dark Knight spoilers ahead!

In a recent interview with MovieWeb, Gary Oldman - who plays Police Commissioner Gordon in the latest Batman franchise - praised the performance of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight, while also giving away the ending of the movie to an extent.

"It's hard to scare kids these days. Heath does. He scares everybody," Oldman said. "This is one of the most frightening performances I have ever seen put on film."

When asked if he thought they should recast Ledger for the third film - giving away the fact the The Joker survives in The Dark Knight - or just not include the character, Oldman leaned toward the former.

"I don't see why not. I mean, they did it with Katie Holmes' character. I understand that this is a different circumstance, but I think another actor could do the job. I think Heath would want another actor to do the job."
