Robert Downey Jr's a downer when it comes to the dark knight

"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…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 fucking smart, I clearly need a college education to understand this movie.’ You know what? Fuck DC comics. That’s all I have to say and that’s where I’m really coming from."

And since when does any Hollywood elite's opinion matter to the comic book fans that really love the comics and want to see that in the movies?  Seriously, if he can't tell us what happened in the movie, maybe he needs a high school education.

I like Robert Downey Jr. a lot.  I loved him as Iron Man (I think he played it perfectly).  But he's just way far off on this one.
