Why is Downey down on Dark Knight?

Question

Interesting comments from Downey Jr. He claims Dark Knight story is too complicated for him to know what happened. He actually claims one needs a college degree to figure "Dark Knight" out. I don't know, several middle schoolers I know "got it". Do folks think Dark Knight is hard to understand as well or is Downey simply not able to keep up with the rest of us?

Answer 1

Maybe he's just got a grudge against The Dark Knight.  What an idiot. Then again, I read all the comics, so whatever.  s***w Downey.  He just can't keep up.

Answer 2

he was being sarcastic and funny i guess

i didnt read the interview yokey lol

robert downey jr. is like the cooliest person ever (lmao) and no offence to anyone...but if the joker wasnt in the dark knight it kinda would of sucked :)

Answer 3

Ive never seen batman before this film, and it wasnt exactly hard to get.

Very simple story line, with a lot of twists and small storylines coming off it.

I dont know who Downey is, but he must not be that bright

Answer 4

He was being sarcastic in a way. What he was trying to say was that the plot of the movie is stupid. The idea that Batman needs to become bad and hated(at the end)  for the movie to move on plot wise is simply stupid. He is trying to say that the directors did this because they thought it would be "deep" and smart when in actuality it's dumb. I agree with him 100%. I liked the movie but the ending was utterly stupid. Not to mention 2 face could not have survived in his condition outside of a hospital. I mean the movie was trying to be as realistic as possible but it crossed the bounds a few times.

Answer 5

IRONMAN is about to hook up with THE HULK for a new movie in the works and Downey is trying to stir the pot.

Answer 6

He destroyed too many brain cells back when he was on drugs. He can't follow a simple plot. Luckily, he can still do a d**n fine job of acting!

Answer 7

I think he's joking around trying to get press from his latest film Tropic Thunder no big deal it will blow over soon.

Answer 8

I would have to say that it looks like someone is gulping down the Marvel Kool-Aid. Thats fine, is he jealous that he wasnt tabbed to be Batman? Oh well stick with Ironman......
