Latino Review have received some concept art in the post claiming to be Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash in Iron Man 2. The style of the image is inline with concept designs, the Rourke-ness and details are non-distinct, something a faker probably wouldn’t do. We’ll have to wait and see if it’s the real deal or not.

i’m a total Iron Man fan after the movie, but i’m not familiar at all w/ the comic world of IM. after some past Batman experience, comics are a lost cause to me. When characters are really popular there are usually multiple series running all at once w/ different stories lines, villians, etc. and these series run for so long & have to be different from each other that it turns into a soap opera atmosphere very quickly & usually gets very stupid & bizarre. thankfully IM was never as super popular as Batman or Spiderman, so IM doesn’t have dozens of foes or a phone book full of past wives, girlfriends & lovers. i think the only negative to the comic world of IM is in the mid 70’s when new writers were hired & they tried to revamp the comic (always a mistake) they started Demon in the Bottle & in typical comic fashion ran with it for YEARS and beat it into the ground. That’s really the only comic line that people are aware of when talking about IM, (not disrespecting the smaller lines of tony loosing SI, it being renamed, getting it back, happy dying, etc, etc).
Seeing this art of Whiplash, I forgot in the excitment of following IM2 being made that Mickey’s character has a metal suit like tony does. For Iron Man’s world most everyone that has an alter ego has to have a metal suit for that ego. It will be interesting to see Iron Man, Whiplash & War Machine fight & interact in IM2 & have everyone in metal suits.
looks amazing
