Because he loved the character and probably played a big role in it getting made in the first place.

Oh yeah, obligatory Eisenberg as Lex
When they released the photo of him bald, I thought well this could be something and you at least have the option of making him the son of Lex to lean on but that fell flat as people thought
People had reservations on Affleck as Batman but he did great on that

That's great but he still didn't fit the character really Johnny Blaze was a fairly one dimensional character until he was brought back to mentor/help Danny Ketch, though. He was a circus stuntman and that's about it. Otherwise, it's all flames, chains, and the penitent stare.

Yeah, he has a ghost rider tattoo on his arm that he had to cover up to play the role >_> Dude is a big comic book guy... (I mean he took his stage name from Luke Cage before anyone ever really heard of Luke)

(I mean he took his stage name from Luke Cage before anyone ever really heard of Luke) Knew he was a big comic book fan but didn't know about the Luke Cage part with the name A bit surprised he hasn't gotten into any of the Marvel movies (yet) but he has done voice acting for the Teen Titans movie and Spiderman

Honestly, when it happened... Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark. He went from a promising 80s star to a mess to a guy who'd pop up oddball B-movies, I didn't see him as someone who would work in a big-budget action flick.
Now I can't picture it working without him.

WTF casting choices that worked: - Michael Keaton as Batman. - Heath Ledger as Joker. - Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman. - Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. - Charlize Theron as Aileen Wuornos.
WTF casting choices that sucked: - Jake Gyllenhaal as the Prince of Persia. - Keanu Reeves in Bram Stoker's Dracula. - Seth Rogan as the Green Hornet. - Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist in The World is Not Enough.

While most people saw it as a huge risk, I remember a lot of other people pointing out his undoubted talent and experience with substance issues made him a good choice, given the popularity of Demon in a Bottle and the influence it has on Tony STark's character.

Now I can't picture it working without him. I think it worked since both the actor and character are talented and intelligent, but had their personal demons.

Yea, I was about to say wasn't he put on specifically because he can portray a complex Tony Stark thanks to his own issues
