Spoiler Alerts is my opportunity to give the ending I want to comic book events past, present and future. Sometimes it will be farcical and absurd. Sometimes it might just be wishful thinking. It will always be the right thing to do.
Whiplash is going to kill Iron Man at the end of Iron Man II. I have not seen any leaked footage, I don’t know anybody on the inside and I realize killing a cash cow while it is still producing money is anathema in both Hollywood and comics. But it is going to happen. There is just no way that Robert Downey Jr. can survive even a fictional confrontation with Mickey Rourke.
Mickey Rourke is the baddest man in the history of cinema. He probably would be considered this generation’s Brando if only he wasn’t Bat-Mite fucking crazy. He gained critical acclaim in many movies in the 80’s after stealing the show in “Diner.” (And Steve Guttenberg was in that!) Rumor has it, Rourke even turned down the lead in Barry Levinson’s “Rain Man.”
