Review: Marvel’s ‘Iron Man 3’ Draws From ‘Extremis’ Comics, Pits Tony Stark Against Mandarin and Aldrich Killian

Robert Downey Jr. as Lex Luthor in Superman Movie?
I love comic books, and I love most comic book movies. Unfortunately, I feel like the mass audience does not see the best superhero films. I believe those have been the animated films put out by both DC and Marvel. “Batman: Mask of the Phantasm” […]
