Jesus Christ that is absolutely brilliant casting. He's a freaking perfect choice for Tony Stark.

He looks and acts the part. And if they manage to get into Stark's drining problem and addictions, who has more experience that Downey? He's got that air about him that he's instantly likeable, but at the same time a little arrogant and is smarter than everyone else in the room.

Christ, I haven't been this pleased with a casting choice since Bale for Batman.

You make absolutely no points except that you adore House. Why is Robert a bad choice?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Not to trust worthy in my eyes.

Ain't It Cool News
SuperHero Hype
Marvel Comics

Yeah. I'd trust IMDB (which is an editable database of movies first, and a rather sub-par news site second) over these sites too.

Not if you don't want people to listen to you I guess.

The only time he has had a good movie is when he was surrounded by other actors who are in many ways better than him, or when he is given a great script to work off of. Other than that he has no real acting talent. Half of his movies dont even get a limited release. It be honest, he is a hasbeen, most of his roles have been side characters or poorly acted lead roles. He has no emotional depth at all.

It's not like he's an academy award nominee or BAFTA winner or anything.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was given a very small budget by Warner Bros. (who was not confident in the premise, not the actors), then proceeded to go over budget. It debut at Cannes (where it was given a standing ovation) and was hardly ever expected or planned to be a blockbuster movie. It made it's budget back (~$15 mil) at the box office, and that doesn't include DVD sales.

Also, Vemp.

He certainly looks the part to me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

He builds the first grey suit with spare parts he finds as a POW and uses it to escape/kill everything. When he gets back to the States he builds the traditional armor. The big difference between Iron Man and say, Captain America or Superman, is that Iron Man's costume is expected to change. He changes it as he sees fit, with new artists adding or subtracting what they feel is necessary. Hulkbuster, Thorbuster, Stealth MK II, Space MK I, Extremis, he has tons of different costumes.

The movie one seems to be similiar to the current armor seen in Civil War and New Avengers. They have called this "final armor" (the one with the badass glowing eyes and F22 escort) the MK III version in press releases. So;

The grey version he builds to escape (with flame-throwing action!) is the MK I, the big bulky thing with glowing eyes that only makes a quick appearance is probably the MK II (built upon the first platform, but still refining ideas), and the glowing eye badass one is the MK III armor, or as advanced as it's gonna get in this movie.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
