Robert Downey Jr, further cementing his burgeoning reputation as an all-round legend, went off on Batman during an interview to promote his new flick, Tropic Thunder.
'Iron Man' couldn't resist venting about the Dark Knight, and even went as far as to articulate that golden sentence which I'm sure many at Marvel have been chewing over for years: "Fuck D.C.".
I can't say I agree with him, and expect there's a smidgen of envy involved in this outburst, but still- you gotta love a guy who doesn't mince his words.
"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 f—king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.' You know what? Fuck DC comics. That's all I have to say and that's where I'm really coming from."
