Jon Favreau follows the Batman Begins template to create a hugely satisfying origin story for the Marvel hero, while Robert Downey Jt makes the character of Tony Stark his own.
Anchored by a stellar performance from Downey Jr as billionaire playboy/arms manufacturer Tony Stark, Iron Man follows the Batman Begins template almost beat for beat, offering up an origin story with lots of set up, an explosive denouement, and the promise of a sequel. Favreau pitches the humour and action at a grown-up level, balancing his clear passion for the character with the movie's mainstream obligations.
