I’ve been trying not to pay much attention to it… but I do want to see it. For some strange reason, Iron Man was my favourite comic book as a kid. Not that I read a lot of any comic books, and I don’t remember a hell of lot about it (I do remember multiple guys wearing the suit though.)
But for some reason a rich guy with a heart condition that has no special powers of his own, but develops a super powered suit, struck a chord.
I guess Batman was too Dark … or silly at that time of it’s existence. And all the super people with innate super powers just didn’t seem real enough fro me to identify with.
