Robert Downey Jr starred in “Iron Man,” the biggest surprise-hit of the year. But how does he feel about the other comic book movie that is currently aiming to become the second biggest earner of all time, “The Dark Knight.” Moviehole got the chance to speak to Downey, who was not shy about expressing his feelings toward the new Batman film.
“My whole thing is that that I saw ‘The Dark Knight’,” said Downey. “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 f–king smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’ You know what? F-ck DC comics. That’s all I have to say and that’s where I’m really coming from.”
He added that if he never works with DC Comics, it will be fine with him. “You know, you’re never too old to burn your bridges because I believe I have offended everyone,” he said. “I think I’ve got a couple more. ‘I’ll burn that bridge when I come to it’ is my favorite phrase I’ve ever coined.”
