Break the Tie. The Best Comic-Book Movie Character Is:

Okay, like I wasn't gonna' comment on this article.
1 - Batman has a so better reason for becoming a superhero. See, he wants to prevent other children from watching their parents get their brains blown out. Tony Stark? Oh, I'm all guilty for making machines that kill millions of people. In fact, I'm pretty sure Batman would bring in Iron Man, for being a murderous lol'saur.

2 - Acting like a drunken womanizer... Can you really claim Robert Downey, Jr. is acting? I mean, that's like asking Harvey Firestein to act like someone's gay aunt! Sure, Val Kilmer sucked Clayface taint, but he was still realing from Marlon Brando fecal exposure. :)

3 - Um, he's The Goddamn Batman! :)

First of all, he really is The Goddamn Batman. That's undeniable. But, the real issue here has nothing to do with superhero clout, nipple suits, or anything else other than the fact that Robert Downy Jr. ended up playing Iron Man was -- by far-- the single coolest/funniest/most intriguing thing about the movie.

Aaand the only thing that gave the movie enough of a chance for it to be considered an actual let-down. You gotta get up to get down.

Lastly, even if you put the movie aside, you don't need someone the likes of Batman to make Iron Man take the backseat. Green Arrow (another non-super, billionaire superhero) could probably take him for a ride.

you can't compare an average of batman actors to one ironman character. especially when you rate that one character a 10, which i'm not convinced he was. don't get me wrong, ironman was a great movie, but it was no dark knight.

Batman is DC and DC sux donkies: Marvel Forever
