“I did you a big favor: I have successfully privatized world peace!”
Yes. The trailer we've been waiting for. This is the way the Iron Man 2 trailer should start. Cocky Tony Stark, talking smack to Congress. The crowds applauding, drowning out the Senator. Robert Downey Jr., flashing that cocky grin.
Cocky, and maybe a little naïve too.
Cue the creepy music, and the covers of Stark on Rolling Stone and Fortune, clearly getting lost in his own fame. Mix in a little Mickey Rourke, muttering in an eerie Russian accent, building something cryptic in his garage. And give us a pumped up, wigged-out Whiplash jumping onto a racetrack and upending the Indy race car Stark is driving. (Also on Techland: The top 10 sci-fi films of the decade)
I love it: You've got the national hero. The freaky bad guy. And then sprinkle in a little War Machine just for good measure. And you wind up with one of those 3-second kicker shots that drops your jaw.
Seriously: Jump right ahead to 2:15 and watch the Iron Duo unleash holy hell.
War Machine. Stark. Whiplash.
Bad. Ass.

War machine looks like he's made out of pure pwnage.

When I saw the headline Iron Man 2 Trailer: 'I have successfully privatized world peace', I took my pants off. Now I need a new chair...

@gmiverson I'm talking about movies other than Batman. Nolan has that franchise on lock. DC Entertainment was formed earlier this year to take over movie duties like Marvel did with Marvel Studios. I'm hoping Green Lantern doesn't suck. And it would be nice to finally see a decent Superman movie.
