“My whole thing is that that I saw The Dark Knight. I feel like I’m dumb because I feel like I don’t get how many things that are so smart. It’s like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I’m like, ‘That’s not my idea of what I want to see in a movie.’ I loved The Prestige but didn’t understand The Dark Knight. Didn’t get it, still can’t tell you what happened in the movie, what happened to the character and in the end they need him to be a bad guy. I’m like, ‘I get it. This is so high brow and so [frick]ing smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’ You know what? [frick] DC comics. That’s all I have to say and that’s where I’m really coming from.”

A little upset that TDK tore up Iron Man this summer Mr. Downey? Though I loved Iron Man, there's no reason to bitch about the best movie of 08'.

Too smart? Um, there were at times when Iron Man introduced mathematics and science revolving around the whole Arc Reactor method, which is not necessarily something everyone knows about.

i agree with both of you, if anything iron man was WAY more complicated then batman with all the high tech shit they were using like the sound wave thing to make people paralized and just making the whole suit. i mean in iron man there is a machine putting on his suit, in batman he puts on his own suit. which sounds more complicated? i mean i guess it is pretty difficult to put on your own shoes, that can be pretty complicated right?
