That subject line is supposed to be a “play” on the novel The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit, a searing midcentury indictment of American corporate culture. I’m just clever as clever today.

I’m no Iron Man scholar, so I had to Wikipediate to find out that the grey armor was Tony Stark’s first and relatively crude version of his powered suit. And this one does look suitably klugey. Wonder how RDJ’s supposed to act in that thing?
