For me this is one of the best stories this week - Robert Downey Jr. giving his thoughts on The Dark Knight. Also as a Marvel reader what he had to say about DC comics just made me laugh for a good five minutes. Anyway read on and enjoy! While talking to Moviehole about Iron Man 2, Robert Downey Jr. weighed in on The Dark Knight:
"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 fucking 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."

it's funny that Robert Downey Jr. said the Dark Knight is too sophisticated... he seems like such a sophisticated person himself
