Actually, I DO care about Iron Man, though it has never exactly been my favorite comic – not by a long, long shot. However, I do like the casting of the upcoming film, and, unlike many fanboys out there, I think Robert Downey Jr. is a perfect choice for Tony Stark, substance-abuse problems and all. Likewise, Jon Favreau is a good choice for director. My only real concern is that Iron Man has never had a strong gallery of villains (the Mandarin anyone?); in fact, in light of this, it’s no wonder Marvel has pushed Stark to almost villain-like proportions in its current post-Civil War books. Who’s a better villain for Iron Man than Iron Man himself?
