2. Can't wait to see Iron Man, particularly Downey Jr.'s take on Tony Stark. Though I get squeamish everytime I hear that synthesized voice at the end of the trailer... "I am Iron Man!" Sounds like a cyborg wrestler.
Happy New Year!

3. Don't worry about the voice, that was just part of Black Sabbath's song "Iron Man" which is the song that's featured in the trailer. It's not going to be Iron Man's voice in the movie.

4. In response to comment 2, you've NEVER heard Ozzy Osbourne's song, Iron Man? Jeez. Some people.

5. Anyone who is surprised of Iron Man movie taking down Batman "movie"(if you can call it movie),has no idea of comic books.First of all,how can you compare movie made from DC comics and movie made from Marvel? Marvel have millions of readers more than DC.
Batman was total disaster for anybody who knows the comics. Maybe it was a good movie,but it was very bad Batmen movie.The batmobile was...(i don't have words to describe this,sorry)Batman movie was made by somebody who have read one comic book in his life and it was where Batmen is a ninja and the batmobile was looking like it was in the movie,awful.Many times before this has happened,where the movies are made by somebody who have no idea what they are doing.Some examples are:Street Fighter,movie by the game where the characters in the movie have nothing in common with the ones in the game. X-Man,who give the right to the maker to KILL Cyclops?? Also,Wolverine is 5" toll. Spiderman,Kirsten in the part of Mary-Jane? C'mon,Mary-Jane is an actress,but also she is hot photo model,but you can't say this for Kirsten,right?There is more,but you get the point,yes?
And for the end,Robert Downy for the part of Iron Man? Not cool.
7. "Iron Man" is a Black Sabbath song with Ozzy Osbourne lead vocals, not an Ozzy solo song, Sarin.

8. This movie looks like it will be awesome, I've read comics growing up and not too many movies are living up to the hype, this one looks to be a bit more interesting.And in regards to post #5, Batman was interesting, Street fighter was a classic, Kirsten isn't hot, and Wolverine is the s***, that is all I have to say about that.

9. Wow, poster number 5 has no clue.
1. Lately, DC's market share has been creeping a lot closer to Marvel's, but even when Marvel did have a whopping lead, that's not quite the same. Rather than comparing that, compare the sales figures for Batman vs. the sales figures for Iron Man. I think Poster 1 is closer
2. "Batman was total disaster for anybody who knows the comics." Really? I've been reading Batman comics since 1981 (and have gone back and read many more from all kinds of different eras of the comics) and I loved that movie. Most of the comic geeks I know of loved it, too.
3. "X-Man,who give the right to the maker to KILL Cyclops??" Marvel did it themselves at one point. Granted, it didn't last, but what comic book deaths have? Everyone who died in that movie has been dead at one time or another in the comics.
4. "Also,Wolverine is 5" toll." Tolls are measured in money not inches. OK, I know what you meant and you can get some leeway on that one, but that's relatively superficial. Other than that I thought Hugh Jackman was a great Wolverine.
5. "Spiderman,Kirsten in the part of Mary-Jane? C'mon,Mary-Jane is an actress,but also she is hot photo model,but you can't say this for Kirsten,right?" This one I always laugh at. These complaints usually come from people who've spent so much time reading comic books that they forget what real women look like. Considering that Kirsten Dunst is an actress and she's modelled in Maxim or one of those magazines before, I think she would qualify as being acceptable to play a model/actress.
10. To poster 5: "And for the end,Robert Downy for the part of Iron Man? Not cool."
Downey Jr. used to be a depressed alcoholic. Tony Stark is a depressed alcoholic through the start of Iron Man. How can you say that doesn't fit. He was born for the roll.

11. Superman Returns was awesome? Are you kidding? It was the worst movie ever made! It was terrible! Bryan Singer tried to cash in on the Christopher Reeve movies. He should have left them alone, and started anew, not recycle the old Superman movies into cinematic crap! He should have done a "Superman Begins" type of movie. For instance, instead of recycling Marlon Brando's scenes, he could have gotten Anthony Hopkins to play Jor-el.
I thought Batman Begins was great, and look forward to "Dark Knight." And I look forward to "Iron Man." And I always knew they would use the Black Sabbath song "Iron Man" in the trailer. I mean, how could they not?

12. To all:
I have read all the comic books from borders and from Barnes and nobles,so when i say that Betman begins sucks,that mean that he sucks.Show me one comic with batmobile like the one in the movie and i will admit that im wrong.I didn't say that the movie was bad,i just said that it was bad Batman movie.
As for Kirsten she is way too ugly to play Mary-Jane.
If Robert Downey is an alcoholic that doesn't mean that he can play Iron Man. Many actors are alcoholics too,does that mean that he can be Iron Man??Read some comics and you will see that Stark is way different than Robert.Stark is taller and skinnier. Lets hope that most of the movie is going to be with Iron Man.From the trailers,the movie is COOL and no comparison to Batman.
13. *slides a copy of the Graphic Novel of Batman Begins to Godspeed.*
Yes, i know that its not what you meant, but now we can all have a little peace. Also, Batman Begins had an excellent dark feeling through the entire movie, which is often in the comics. Superman returns however, was not only made as if it was a back lot film, but it lost all of the originals feelings. Just my two cents.
Oh, and Iron Man? It looks amazing.
=D

14. Ok Batman Begins was a pretty good movie, only lost some points with me because of the Batmobile. The X-Men movies were great, Hugh Jackman IS frikkin Wolverine. And I don't know what you people are thinking saying that Superman Returns sucked, I personally thought it was a pretty damn good movie. The actors stayed true to the characters, I admit the whole kid thing was a little much but thank god they didnt get too much into it.
And yes Robert Downey Jr. is probably the perfect actor to be Tony Stark, since they are both so much alike. And yes the Iron Man movie looks as if it will kick SERIOUS ass.

15. godspeed u have no idea what ur talking about do u? u read ur comics from barnes and noble and that makes u a serious comic book fan? haha sorry but anyone who says superman returns was a good movie doesnt even deserve to be heard lol
and while kirsten may not have been my #1 choice to play mary jane (i think nikki cox would make an awesome mary jane look her up if u dont know who she is) she is in no way too ugly to play the part.
and as for wolverine suppose to be 5ft tall come on think about it. if they made huge jackman hobbit size would he be as bad ass? i highly doubt it lol thats like tellin marvel they need to put him in his bright yellow n blue costume cuz thats what he wears in the comic book lol bottom line is what looks cool in comics dont always work in real life

16. Looks good to me. And the robotic voice at the end sounds more like a Dalek than anything else. LOL!
Oh, and I'm more excited about this movie than the Dark Knight. I like to see something new, and sorry, but it's just another Batman movie to me. I'm sure it'll be good, but I haven't seen something like this before.

17. ok to poster #7 it was both released as sabbath and ozzy.
to all the complainers you all flock to see the movie that you bitch about anyway. ( waa its gonna suck, then in the movie you cheer and have a blast then to save face to all your blog readers you say how crappy it was and how it doesn't hold true to the comic)

18. As far as the batman movies go, i feel they made a lot of batman movies, more than i can even count! But batman is awesome, so its no surpirse that they are always making more of him. Batman begins was not particularly one of my favorite batman movies, however i dont think its sucked at all. I think it was a nice new aproach to telling his story. And im sry but not many people made cartoons/movies about batman that showed how he came to be, except for maybe "Batman and the Mask of the Phantasm". So i kinda liked Batman Begins. So i say shun the non-believer...Godspeed...i hope you have godspeed because it seems everyone of us is gunna be out to getcha pretty soon lol. As for ironman, i cant wait, this is gunna be big. And as for Downey, he may not be tall and skinny like stark...but you cant deny that he has similar facial features...i think hell do just fine. Ironman and Batman are the best in my opinion. Both are rich dudes who are human (unlike most super heroes) and they have some pretty sweet gadgets. Strip Superman of his powers and what do you have? A regular human being. Batman and Ironman are humans who hual just as much ass as heroes with powers do, thats why i think they are so much better.

19. Dear Poster #5:
We're all glad your mother taught you how to read @ home schooling. If I build a birdhouse does that make me a carpenter? If you read ONE batman comic at B&N while your mommy was shopping, does that make you a batman expert? Batman started as a quick story in Detective Comics #27 that caught fame like a fire in California. In those comics he had a gun and shot at people. His Batmobile wasn't anything like it was today. His training actually did come from martial arts and ninjitsu, so boo for you on trying to call that out. Christopher Nolen knew that if he tried too hard to make it like the comics, the entire community would break his front door down with complaints that it wasn't close enough (like you are) so he changed it to flow with what he felt was a palpable Batman in this day and age. If you don't like it, go back to TV land with Adam West (no offense West, Love Your Show Man) with tight tights. The new ride is AMAZING, it's about time someone had the guts to change a few things around because lets face it. Anyone but Michael Keaton's ride was a floppy winged almost satirical version of the batmobile. So few kids this day and age have seen the old school batman that someone had to update them. So he changed the story around, who cares? Havn't you seen the shape of Hollywood today? BTW, you totally lose all the points you've ever accumulated in life for saying Superman Returns was good. Christian Bale plays a GREAT batman. Hugh Jackman plays a GREAT wolverine. Thomas Jane plays an AMAZING punisher. I do hope Ben Aflec trips over his cane as daredevil, but we can't win them all. I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinions (GB America) but your internet privileges should be revoked.

1. No surprise here why IM overrides TDK for geekwhip: we've already seen Batman in action. The new incarnation is good but Iron Man is new -- brand new – never before seen on the big screen. Add to that the fact that Favreau has already proven himself very capable of handling a range of material and his casting of Robert Downey Jr. in a role he was practically born to play and you’ve got a fresh-n-tasty cinematic sundae.
