In terms of hype, this blows the Super Bowl spot out of the water. This trailer features a lot more Robert Downey as Tony Stark, more action with the Iron Man armor, and even includes a brief shot of Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) donning the Iron Monger (!) armor!
For those wanting to see this in a movie theater first, the trailer will be attached to next week's "10,000 B.C."
I haven't been this excited for a movie since....ever. When my brother and I played action figures many years ago, Iron Man and Batman were my weapons of choice. With Batman back in form and this movie coming up, all my childhood dreams will come true!
"Marriage is like that show ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’, but it’s not funny. All the problems are the same, but you know instead of all the funny, pithy dialogue, everybody is really pissed off and tense. Marriage is like a tense, unfunny version of 'Everybody Loves Raymond', only it doesn't last 22 minutes. It lasts forever."

Various articles have confirmed that the main villain will be Obadiah Stane/Iron Monger. The Mandarin is being saved for the sequel and his presence will be hinted at in the first film.
I never really read Iron Man as a kid, only know him through the Avengers and such(I was more of a Daredevil and X-Men reader). HOWEVER, this looks AWESOME. Can't wait for it. Between this and Indiana Jones, May will be a busy month.
This is a pretty terrible premise. I mean, why not retool it so that you're following a 14-year-old Bruce Wayne as he travels the world learning the skills he needs to become Batman? Wouldn't that be interesting?
