Time and time again, we see that the true appeal of the Iron Man franchise rests with the sublime Robert Downey Jr. Wouldnt it be interesting to see Tony Stark growing up, when he was still dreaming of the man hed become? Show him in high school, maybe struggling with wealth, substance abuse and ennui. You could call it LESS THAN HERO. Some of you might say that Robert Downey Jr is too old to play a high schooler. For those who doubt, I have nothing but pity. Robert Downey Jr will create the best high school student weve ever seen, and if youre too jaded to realize that, then theres nothing I can do. For the rest of us, Less Than Hero is exactly what weve been waiting for.
