Robert Downey Jr Not a Fan of The Dark Knight

So far this year, Robert Downey Jr has starred and co-starred in two of the summer's best movies – exciting entertainments that were, in our opinion, superior to The Dark Knight in many ways. And judging from what he had to say in this interview, he agrees:

"... 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 scriptwriting 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 highbrow 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."
