Iron Man was great! XD Gremio and I watched it together in Gateway, and though we both went home broke, the movie was worth it. :D I wasn't sure at first, but after watching the movie, I think Robert Downy Jr. was perfect as Tom Stark. And unlike the most recent Marvel movies I've watched (Ghost Rider and Spiderman 3) I thought this movie was not in the least bit cheesy. I barely rolled my eyes throughout the movie! XD (Gah! You should have seen Sig, Stacy and me mutilate Ghost Rider in Bacolod. The script was so cheesy, it was unbelievable. @_@) The movie was funny and exciting (too exciting, in fact, that Gremio was hugging my arm for about half of the movie. ^^;) and you can't help but feel amazed at how smart the protagonist is, which of course just makes the movie cooler. This guy didn't need to be splattered with radioactive stuff or didn't originate from some alien country. He's just a really smart guy who found a way to do what he needed to do with what he had, just like Batman. (Which was one of the reasons why I liked Batman, apart from him being filthy rich, which is also something that Iron Man is. ^^)
But Batman didn't have the level of intelligence IronMan had, so I still think that his was the greater achievement, being that he's a more normal guy in that sense. ^^ Plus it helps that he has an all black motif. XD
Although if I remember correctly, Daredevil is supposedly the counterpart of Batman in the Marvel Universe. But if you ask me, Iron Man is more like Batman than Daredevil. :D See this parody comparing the two. I especially loved the line: "Emo!" XD I dunno why, but lately, the word emo has me cracking up all the time. For instance, Vigile said my cousin looked emo. LOL.

I liked the crack about crying into a pile of money too! XD
Plus the trailers were great too! I'm really looking forward to watching 88 Minutes, 21, Wanted, Kung Fu Panda, (and maybe..) Mama Mia, Deception, Twilight, Narnia, etc. Wow. So many. ^^;
Anyhooo~ I was surfing the net and I came across a couple of interesting lists. :D :D *very pleased* Apparently, Forbes put together a list of 15 of the richest fictional characters while Business Week has a list of the top 10 smartest superheroes. (I knew Batman wouldn't let me down! XD) The funny thing is, Mr. Monopoly was *apparently* knocked of the list due to a subprime mortgage crash, while Lucius Malfoy of the HP series has been on the list since 2005 (Apparently, he's the richest dude in the HP world. XD)
According to Business Week [link], the following are the smartest superheroes ever! ^^
1. Mister Fantastic (Yay! He's my favorite of the Fantastic Four! XD)
2. Bruce Wayne (Batman)
3. Tony Stark (Iron Man)
4. Ant Man/ Yellow Jacket (I honestly don't know this dude, so... moving on.)
5. Hank McCoy (Beast of X-Men)
6. Bruce Banner (Hulk)
7. Barbara Gordon (Oracle/Batgirl)
8. Peter Parker (Spiderman) -- In fairness, he actually made the cut. Although he didn't seem very smart in the movies. ^^;
9. Charles Xavier
10. Ray Palmer (Atom - don't know him either. ^^)
After reflecting on this, I remembered that I used to like Spiderman... Until the movies came along and ruined everything. -__-
