I'm not saying it *doesn't* fit Tony Stark better, I'm just saying that the film had a very familiar pattern/plot to BB, and I haven't seen anyone else mention it :o

I agree that the plots are similar, and that it's an interesting thinking point. I was just responding to your proposed scenario in which someone rips off the Batman Begins plot for Iron Man, which I don't think is the real case, as the plot for the Iron Man film seemed to me to be straight out of the Iron Man books. It's one of the most faithful movie recreations I've seen ever.

I dunno - I think the success of BB and that plot probably contributed to the idea than IM was *viable* at least, as they knew it was a workable plotline. No, they didn't rip it off per sey, but I'm unwilling to dismiss the connection completely.

If there's a connection, then it's comic to comic rather than movie to movie.
