Downey Disses DC

Robert Downey Jr. didn't hold back when it came to the subject of The Dark Knight in a recent interview.
After telling the interviewer that Iron Man 2 will be a cool, fun movie, he let it rip when they touched on the topic of Batman...
Downey said:
"My whole thing is that I saw '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.' 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 went on to say, "You know, you're never too old to burn your bridges because I believe I have offended everyone. 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."

Burger King saved his Life...

In 2003, Robert Downey Jr. was driving down PCH in California with a ton of "dope" in the car when he suddenly decided to stop at Burger King for a meal. He said eating one of their burgers made him turn his life around.
Downey said, "I have to thank Burger King. It was such a disgusting burger I ordered. I had that, and this big soda, and I thought something really bad was going to happen." He immediately dumped all his drugs into the ocean and decided to clean up his act.
He also said he used the experience for a scene in "Iron Man" when his character asks for a burger after escaping the terrorists.

Something bad usually does happen after eating Burger King. Just ask my bowels.
