Entertainment News: Robert Downey Jr: ‘Fuck D.C. Comics’
Iron Man just bitch slapped The Dark Knight for having a BA in philosophy. To be more precise, a non-blackface Robert Downey Jr. candidly discussed his rabid thoughts about the biggest fanboy movie of all time to MovieHole.
Hardly the riskiest thing for a man under contract to Marvel Studios to say - especially considering that he avoided saying the more accurate “Fuck Warner Bros.,” who actually made the movie and would be more responsible for making movie casting choices than a comic book publisher - but still an unusual attack nonetheless. Maybe he’s trying to remind to start an Iron Man/Dark Knight feud to promote the Iron Man DVD release?
Guy Ritchie may be having difficulty getting RocknRolla out, but at least he’s nabbed a culprit to face Robert Downey Jr. in the upcoming Sherlock Holmes. Digital Spy reports that Mark Strong will be taking on the role of Robert Downey Jr.’s as of now unnamed adversary.
Robert Downey Jr. didn?t hold back when it came to the subject of The Dark Knight in a recent interview. After telling the interviewer that Iron Man 2 will be a cool, fun movie, he let it rip when they touched on the topic of Batman.
It?s unfortunate it wasn’t RDJ’s Iron Man that trumped The Dark Knight this weekend, but rather Downey Jr. in blackface in Paramount?s Tropic Thunder. The R-rated flick brought in an estimated $26 million over the weekend, while Christian Bale?s Dark Knight bringing in $16.8 million. Coming in third was George Lucas?
